This Month's Evo

Post by GregR » Fri Jul 27, 2007 10:42 am

Anyone seen the Sean Lockyear porsche on page 28? How much do I want one of those?! :love Sadly, the contact details don't bring up anything to do with the retro beastie and its just his stocklist :(

Some tasty treats in there however... ;)

My other half Helen alway complains she gets ignored for several hours whenever a new EVO arrives :P

Never mind the new M3, what about the new C63 AMG. A 6.3 litre V8 in a C class :shock: - appeallingly nuts 8)

I love the Capri. Have yet to meet my dad, but was told he drove Capris with my mum before they split. As a boy I used to point and shout every time I seen them, My dad drives one of them! He almost ditched it into a massive hole in the road when my mum was preggers with me. Maybe some of his driving genes have found their way into my system? :twisted:

Mark, funny you say that as i called an ex colleague/friend of mine at Merc, as they have moved out to Newbridge and he says they have never been so busy, and the new C class is driving a hell of a lot of business back to Mercedes. Ad for the C63, waiting list is mahooooosive!!!

:shock:

I am not a Merc fan but when a client offered to take me to the Mercedes track day at KH a couple of months ago I thought it would be rude to refuse.

Fantastic day, turn up at about 10am, quick briefing then out to the pits to take your pick of about 20 from the range. Jump in with an instructor and give it hell. Back into the pits after 3 or 4 laps and pick something else. Keep going until 4pm with a quick stop for lunch.

The high points were the SL55 AMG and the 500SL AMG both awesome, if a bit GT. Probably the only time I will have somebody encourage me to put at £150k car sideways.

The New M3 does nothing for me at all, i remember lusting after the E46 when it came out, and its knocking on 911 money now, a depreciation disater waiting to happen?

You should see the size of that place - it gigantic!

C classes looked mean in the DTM race, but sounded sh*t next to the A4's :D

Saving Evo for Sunday - so stop telling me about it :shock: :wink:

I really like the look of that Thorney Europa. The Europa seems to have been a bit of a sales flop for Lotus, but I reckon if it had been more like the Thorney car from the start they might have shifted quite a few.

Agreed, it did look mean and it was interesting to hear that they freed up the extra horses relatively easily :) Looked like a 3/4 plate on that car too... tsk tsk ;)
