Very nice. Always admired the Red TME with factory stripes.

The white looks good too!

Cheers for replies .,the red ones command a premium and some suffer paint fade from climate in Japan so couldn't justify the extra.

I have been thinking about one of these
How high are the limits and what is the steering feel like?

Assume running costs are horrific?!!

Sure footed due to ayc ,pinpoint steering ,running costs are not half as bad as I was expecting ,servicing Is every 4.5k miles including ayc fluid change .mpg is obviously not great iff you drive hard .i personally only do a couple of thousand miles a year it's not used daily .its one of the best point to point car I've driven .

Lovely car and finally, they are appreciating in value too. Recently sold my evo (8) after almost 11 years of very happy and reliable ownership.
