Newbie from across the pond
 

Hello fellow Evo enthusiasts, just joined up so thought it would be rude not to introduce myself.

My name is Nick, aged 45 I live in South Wales in the UK, I work for Asda (Walmart) driving HGV trucks.

I am a member of the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (MLR), for 3 years now.

My everyday runabout is my trusty Saab 93 Aero, and my pride and joy is my evo 9.

I stumbled on this forum whilst searching for voltex pics and I have to say some of the pics I've seen on here of members cars are jaw dropping, one day just one day I will have something that will look like so many pristine examples I have seen in the Voltex gallery.

Anyway here's my evo hope you like{thumbup}
