one of these days I'll own a Challenger 2 tank, then I'll say goodbye to road rage and hello to Mr 120mm

The Boy,
Cheyennes are ugly as sin, but I'll grudgingly admit the turbo version would give my Evolution 6 rice racer a run for its money. I once made the mistake of taking a plane up to the flying field in it - no problem with space but the hard ride was a nightmare. Never again.....I'll stick to using it for what its good at - eating boxsters for breakfast

I just bot rid of my Impreza turbo saloon cos of lack of space.I could get my old Goldberg Sukhoi(73 inch) in that,but only just.Ended up getting a bmw 330i touring as replacement.Main reason I changed was so that my kids had a bit more legroom, but the extra space in the back opens up loads of new plane possibilities!

My mates got an Evo 6 I went about 6 miles in it the other day and pissed blood when i got out!! like driving a go cart!!
Your right it will only just keep up with an evo untill 90mph then im afraid the evo is in the rear view mirror all the way up to the speed limiter at 165mph
it goes round corners well but to try and keep up with your sled on a roundabout i would lay about £200 worth of rubber on every corner (poxy 20" tyrs are £390.00 each and i have done 3 sets on the back and 2 sets on the front in 11 months!!)
round town though i think the evo has it on fuel consumtion ( i am lucky to get 8mpg round town and 14 on a run)
PS you cant see what it looks like when your in it!! [8D]

sprink. My mates impreza (top of the line then put in the garrade for more stuff[X(]) can only put the cubby hole in the middle seat down, he can fit a raptor in it sideways in the boot, and his fury had to go on its side with the boom thru the hole, flight box fuel and tranny are all in the front passengers seat.
martin- i agree big up the 148
or being a JR pilot....big up the 517

All of my back seat goes down. The issue is that has it is a saloon, the plane has to go over the boot lip then under the back window. Anything larger than 40 size gets to be a problem:
CG Chipmunk is ok as the u/c is on the wing.
CG Ultimate I had to take the u/c off as well as the wings [&:]
C140 stab comes off, goes in on its side. If it didn't have plug in wings I would have been in trouble.[X(]

The boy,
The Evo takes some getting used to as the ride is very hard, but mine is used every day for the commute to work so am well used to it now. The Evo is more about handling and cornering than grunt (tho 300bhp is enough). Trouble is its not very aerodynamic and I have nearly been embarrassed on the motorway a few times because of this. And the build quality isn't the greatest.........
Back on topic now!!!!!!!
