Retired Evo

Two years and two months and 20k miles of fun filled motoring later, the Evo had been replaced. ... rather handed down to my son. I simply did not have the heart to sell such a lovely car. This way I hope to get a chance to drive it every once in a while. I must say I already miss the fun factor on driving the little rocket around as a daily runner. The new car feels fine, but I am yet to open her up as it is still in the break in period. Check the photos out.
Current Evo mods are: Vishnu full standard exhaust with high flow cat, HKS 264 cams/Fidanza gears, walbro pump, JDM MR bov. Dyno tuned at 290whp on a dyno dynamics.

AMG is the ultimate luxury performance car in my opinion. Either way, the car is still in the family, you can always take her out for a spin

Lucky son? I think you mean lucky garage! That's quite a line-up. A hand-me-down Evo isn't bad, either!

Sucks that you won't have the Evo for yourself but I'm sure that your son is loving it. The AMG is a beast it looks great. I would have waited for the M5 but hey I'm still jealous about the AMG. I guess with the kind of cash you got you can get rid of your 7 series and get the M5.

Thanks guys.
Burningmoney 97 - My sone is 22 and is just about graduate from the university. He has a lovely 2001 Prelude (tastefully moded too). Unfortunately that has to go now.

ray3328 - Thought about the M5. Two reasons why I opted not to go for it. a) the looks b) the wait till the release. Also it may be quite a bit more expensive with dealer mark up's at the time of the release.
