Crossed the line!
« on: December 16, 2011, 09:46:42 pm »
I should have known it was a dangerous move to have my car serviced at Vospers.
Before I knew it John 501 had taken me out for a test drive in his Evo..........3 weeks later (today) - my A500SS is in his second hand lot and I am blasting up the M5 in a red Evo  :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
My apologies to the A500 owners but I had to cross the line and go into Evo territory. It's awesome - very impressed ;D

    if it didnt wear a scorpion , i would not say "wrong move" , but you have merely decided to view the scorpion from a different angle, so enjoy the ride ! ... after all mate, ITS AN ABARTH.

    I was there today, spent all day there, felt a bit like Tom Hanks character in Terminal :D , you might have seen me, geek boy sat with two laptops ( somebody didn't take the time off  :-[ ) wasn't in there all the time to be honest I had loan of a 500C (with a manual  8) ) so had some blasting about in that.

    Nice friendly staff bringing me coffees etc, better service than at home, gonna have some words with the missus about that >:( ;D

    Good choice on the Evo, its a great motor :thumb: will have to write up a 12k end of term report on mine as I move on to the next chapter of my wallet emptying Evo esseesse :o  8)
