I've done separate threads on these but they are all together for the first time in ages so thought I would post a few pics. We do have an A4 too but the wife is off to the movies with it and PH shouldn't be interested in the diesel family mobile. What I have on the drive is an N/A, a turbo and a supercharged car. Not driven the Evo in a while as it was off getting the transfer box rebuilt. Been out for 2 hours this morning wasting petrol. By god those things are insane fun. biggrin

Got a thing for bulging bonnets. The EVO one looks incredible.

I used to own an E46 M3 so I see the appeal but why two?

The garden looks amazing as well.

Thanks will have to look out the build threads on them.

Never really like blacked out back lights but someone they seem to really suit that EVO makes it look meaner I think.

Driving the evo today I had forgotten how much attention it attracts. It just gets stared at by everybody. The bimmers just slide by with only a few noticing what they are but the evo sticks out like a sore thumb. It is insanely loud as well. Makes lots of nice whooshes and pops and bangs. I have missed it.

Hi, great fleet to own., lots of smiles per mile....
Can I ask how you deal with the insurance aspect, do you have a multi car Policy or do you have them insured through separate Companies and Policies. Just curious as to how to deal with my ever growing fleet.

3 cars that all effectively do the same thing?

I've no idea how much they're worth but personally I'd rather have 1 great car than 3 good ones.

Insurance is on admiral multi-car. They're pretty good even with all the mods declared.

They don't all do the same thing. The standard one is super snappy N/A driving and just lovely. The supercharged one is just insane (my mates KTM supermoto 950 cannot get away and after 90 he is waaaaay behind me), and the Evo is just insane wooshy turbo fun. They all have very different characters when driving and having a choice is nice. 1 is getting sold to fund a new conservatory soon though. I also don't think I'll lose much on them as between the three of them I don't really put many miles on a single one. The wife's car gets taken on all the long journeys.

It looks like 3 moderately fast cars that have back seats but aren't particularly practical. For me they're all close enough to the same thing that I'd likely end up with one favourite and the other two going unused. I just wouldn't fancy the hassle/expense of running a similar fleet like that... 1 better car would definitely be my choice smile

Fair enough, yours are a lot faster but I still think you can hardly call 475 bhp moderately fast. I would call yours insanely fast.
