If I was living in a MTV crib, my parents would have to drag me out kicking and screaming.

I'm 25 and still nestled in at home, although I'm looking forward to leaving once I have found a job

Car looks excellent, need videos and more pictures!

Although they don't sound as great do they?

You see i thought it was going to sound crap but it actually sounds pretty cool. Very loud and deep ... Ok there's no scooby burble but its good enough. I will take some videos when i get a chance.

Insurance works out at around £900 maybe a little more .. It was £302 ontop of the clio 182 trophy (which was £600 in march)

For a 23 year old? Nice, how many years NCB do you have? And sweet house, if either of my parents owned a house like that I would never have moved out

I have 6 years NCB, no points or accidents and a very good post code

Nice car. Not really my thing, but I bet it's an absolute blast to drive. What version is it? I can see Evo 8 MR FQ... I don't know enough about Evos to tell without being able to see the badge

EDIT: Can see it now. FQ-320 :d

fLux_ · 19 Apr 2011 at 08:49

I'm in a similar boat myself. Saving up for a house but I do want to upgrade my Fiesta ST. I love the looks of the Z4 and it's my preferred car, but to get a decent one I would need to spend more than I want to at the moment.

I've been thinking about an EVO like yours or an Impreza as I do want the performance.

Nice car though, congrats.

Lovely looking EVO and House is nice too.

What sort of MPG you seeing from the EVO?

No idea on the MPG front, £75 of fuel got me roughly around 170 miles but thats TOE IN ... Not sure what it would return on the motorway maybe Gaijin could shed some light on this ...

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Apr 2011 at 09:44

Does the Evo 8 still have the 50 litre tank?

So this is yours then?

I've had around 30mpg on a long run, driving like an old Doris off boost for 90% of the trip. Boost was only used for overtaking and probably only 0.5 Bar max.

However general day to day mpg, and I do drive like a Grandad when I'm not on a hoon.........

The 8 has a generous 55 litre tank, whereas the 7 has a pony 48 litre tank which will barely get you to the shops.
