NO
But I know they have an 09 evoke vxr8 at Toomeys Basildon

That is one of the original press cars.

Search the EVO magazine tests and there are lots of great pictures of it going sideways.

Hopefully i will be the new owner of this vehicle tomorrow

Found it, it was a press car, I have a photo of it downloaded from the magazine. It is on track with a Mitsubishi EVO on test. Can't remember which magazines web site I downloaded it from, but I knew I recognised the reg from somewhere.

I wonder if that was the one that the pub owner had - over in Surrey. Can't remember his forum name, but I'm sure his was one of the Evoke press cars.

Lol, the picture everyone wants to see if there new purchase!

[maxmc2]

Can't be any worse than how some of the cars are handled off the track.

As long as it ticks all the right boxes then i'll be happy.

What sort of main things should i be aware of?

I can see both sides of that argument. My personal opinion is that an enthusiasts car will be well looked after.

I've also had a message from Meatandcheese

Feels like a very long time since I had that excellent car.


I am at work solidly til Monday but he will have bought it by then so I will post what I remember next week.


Although I read Pistonheads most day's I rarely reply or post these days.
(Months since I last wrote anything)

I guess thats a positive, if there was anything major he would have said i guess.

HFN was also used on Fifth Gear,

Yeah seen that.

I don't think these things should deter me considering it was then owned by Chris after with no problems.

I think all these cars get a bit of a kicking at times, im guilty of that with mine.

[badboyburt]

It wouldnt put me off, if anything it would add to the appeal.
