I have to say i've obviously skipped over something here too, i'm not sure quite why those posts are creating scandal? What doesn't match up?

Mike made out that he has put an offer in and is going to see the guy today.

Oh right so its just an amended truth not an outright porky then.

None of that matters because after 20 mins in that nasty noisy little bean tin you would be suicidal and drive into a wall anyway

To be fair, i'd rather be in an EK9 than an ST220 for a B road blast

MikeHiow · 6 Nov 2010 at 11:24

I'm not sure what doesn't match up with regarding to the thread on the EK9 forum? Probably forgot to put their spoon away from earlier.

After this morning, I'm even more confident that the EK9 is for me :cool:

Edit:

Excellent, go find me where A. the EK9.org thread suggests I haven't put an offer in, and B. Where I've said I'm going to see that car today.

LTFR.

Still not seeing the issue?

He told us on the 5th that he put in an offer and is going to see it.

In that thread, he sent the guy a private mail to discuss the car on the 4th.

It's perfectly reasonable the guy has accepted a lower offer and arranged a weekend viewing with Mike, given how desperate he seems to sell the thing.

Serious question, what the **** is special about that car? You could buy something decent for 5k and not have to fly half way round the world surely.

MikeHiow · 6 Nov 2010 at 11:29

Mark, it is a brilliant focussed car. It isn't like your usual GTi, ST etc. it was originally designed as pretty much a race car for the road.

Think along the lines of the R26.R, but with a better base*

*Completely subjective, I know :rolleyes:

Have to agree. If you want some jap fun then surely a 200sx would be a better choice? Plus when it's snowing you have a second car anyway so it's not a problem.

That annoys me in adverts. People trying to beat the mileage filter.

But if you really want to do the "focused" car thing what is the problem with doing it properly and buying a track preped weapon?

Many lol's? You must not have been on many owners clubs then

I'm on pretty much all of them

I was, not so much anymore, it was at one point a long standing joke on Honda Evs

Joshy · 6 Nov 2010 at 12:14

So you've never witnessed all of the nauseating back patting that goes on in the vast majority of owners clubs?

With a comment like that they'd probably make Mike a Moderator

Hey, I take offence at that comment!

This thread isn't going to last much longer if it keeps carrying on like this. Mike, just decide on a car that you want and buy it.

ITR-DC2 is the one I least frequented

However the owners and most of the mods started off on Honda Evs and you'd be surprised at how much they extract the urine from noobs and some of the comments that get passed about on there.

To be fair to the guys on the forums they probably don't have the 'motor racing background' that Mike has, so they probably don't know what they are talking about.
