No.The Evo X was the first model officially imported in Canada,but we are allowed now to import ANY car 15 years or older!!!!

So I've started my own little collection.....


In a couple of years time I'll be on the search for a EvoV!!!!!

Psssh awd is meant for all surfaces and so I use it such. I get sideways any chance I can get. track,dirt,gravel,grass,cinder....SAND woohoo haha thats lotsa fun. sadly havnt done snow yet. just waiting for winter to come back round I've had a chance to do a couple launches on the loose surfaces as well which is quite addicting I must say. The thing really takes off.

The fastest I have taken it was at about 60mph wit a friend. He screamed like a little girl everytime the car slid sideways. And its even more fun and difficult when it snows.

Nice Rs Endless, thats a pretty cool shot of the pacific, unfortunately for me the beach here sucks, the sand is to loose and not like that compacted stuff you have there iam afraid it gets everywhere.

Props on the newly formed collection targa! i wouldnt mind a VI either, its gotta feel great to have two in the garage.
