By involving you mean you can overtake golf turbo diesels on the motorway and still listen to Radio 2 in your EVO :)

No, I mean I can overtake rubbish MR2s whose owners wish they could have an EVO but can't afford one :tongue: \:D/

As with most things, if I had wanted an EVO I would have brought one, but as Clarkson says, there is only one thing that can ever make an EVO cool.......breasts! I dont think he meant your man breats either :)

Just how many forums do you need to be on to make your life worthwhile? :)

Go outside and do something less boring instead!

Just this one is fine :) I used to subscribe to the local insane asylum forum as well, then realised that I could kill two birds with one stone and just come here where people think that the Mk2's handling is on par with an Elise :D

...tell me if I'm wrong here, but:

1. You're on an MR2 forum
2. You own a Mitubishi Lancer (same shape as kids draw when they're 3 years old)
3. Your trying to tell everyone that it's better than an MR2 (when the likes of MikeJC have already conceded that in real terms, it's faster point to point).

Have I missed something? :?

Aidy has never been the same since we took him to the Irish all those years ago and he had to share a cab back with my short skirted housemates. He'll freely admit it i'm sure. :P

Well yes for sure an elise is in a different league entirely handling wise, if someone said they were on a par, i'd say they don't know what they are talking about.

One last time as you obviously have the memory of a goldfish,a standard MR2 is no match for an Elise but my particular car was more than a match for that particular Elise :lol: After experiencing the Lotus it got me thinking about what fun a Modded VX220 turbo might be :twisted:

Bry, you want to try the Blink S1/2 Elise with the CTR K20A engine and nitrons. 350bhp/tonne, its very impressive.
