Evo And Out

[saff_cossie]

Sadly as some of you know, I sold the Evo on Thursday evening after 4 days of rushing around to get it ready for the seller who needed it by yesterday.

Due to changes in circumstances in life, I could no longer comfortably afford to keep it and had struggled for a number of months (all the invites out for drinks that I couldnt go to were in a large part due to this).

So for the time being until I work out what I am doing, I will probably just get a $10K run around and enjoy having some disposable income each month.

A huge thanks must go to Techsport (Jeff and Zac) for their part in helping me enjoy this car. They worked numerous late evenings in the near 2 years I owned it to help me get it ready for trips/events and work around my 9-5 job. Even Wednesday night I didnt leave until gone 8.30pm with both of them helping get it ready for the new owner.

Other thanks must go to Matt Lowth for his tuning abilities, Roy Cushan for his track day tips and SAU VIC for providing events to enjoy the car, particularly DECA which is where I get more enjoyment out of driving it.

I will still be around and at meets as the club is a unique blend of great, fun people with a wealth of knowledge and having just renewed my membership.

Evo ownership for me definately isnt over and maybe down the track a X will be on the cards.

Having driven nearly 50,000kms in my car during my ownership, nothing mechanically failed during that time so from my perspective, it did exactly what I bought it for. I was never pulled over in it either. They really are great cars and I am sure the new owner will appreciate it as much as I did (also a friend of Jeff's).

So, thanks SAU VIC and see you all around

On behalf of Techsport,

We THANK YOU for the kind words, we also thank you for selling/sold your car because of those late nights that we couldn't get rid of you

Ahaha just kidding, get a starlet for now

[evade]

USA! USA! USA!

[paulr33]

no worries saff - these things happen, move on to bigger and better things!

see you around some time soon

[Jamezilla]

Forget Techsport, I think we all know who the real winners are here...

Seriously though, it is sad to see it go Alan. I know how much you enjoyed the car.

On the up side, at least now you can go back to your roots and buy this...

sorry to hear Saff

but i know you have been trying to sell it for a while so glad it finally happened for you

[Downforce]

LOL @ Fence. Good stuff Alan, you've enjoyed it while it lasted and that's the main thing. Sometimes taking a break from driving these sort of cars, makes it all that much sweeter when you get back into one a year or 2 later See you round!

[Leewah]

Sorry to hear you had to let the CheaterMobile go Alan. Great car.

Hope everything works out for you and I'm sure we'll see you in another cool car in due time.

Dances with Fences will go down in history right next to man walking on the moon.

[RNGTR]

We all have to sell our toys sometimes hey Al? I hated selling mine too.

[saff_cossie]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Good work West, normally I would agree but oddly enough, I don't think they mind working all hours (waits for Jeff to jump on and disagree!)

Fences are winners, many have been spared now

Definately be back in something performance at some point but not sure what or when, might be sooner rather than later, not sure at this stage. All I know is haveing owned an Evo, nothing comes close to all round out of the box and ticking all boxes

Pushbike is clocking up lots of kms again, did 50 yesterday and another 15 today already! Nearly up to my former 500kms a week!

[krzysiu]

Probably will end up buying an more expensive cheat mobile aka. Evo 10

[abcent]

Sad to see it go really, was (is) a great car. But these things need to be done sometimes, congrats on selling it, hope you got what you were after for it......now you can join me as a "non performance car" SAU member we'll just help out at DECA's an Autosalons an get on the piss I say!!....lol

maybe we can get a group buy discount on a pair of EVO X's in a few years

[eMsta]

[adznight]

Good move Saff, those Evo's suck

[HypeR33]

Oh Saff, thought you had put the sale plans in the bin. Now I wont be able to ride shotgun with you on a cruise.

Catch up with you soon

[AGE]

Sad to hear teh cheater car going, Al.

I agree, time to get a Cossie!!!! Back to your roots FTW

[The STiG]

Saffy,

Onto bigger and better things mate.

At the end of the day, we like the car but we enjoy having you around even more....

Im sure it was sad letting go your pride and joy but Im sure there will be something in the pipeline soon to replace it.

Take care mate and catch up soon.
