Hi guys, I'm Dan from the southern suburbs in Adelaide. I have a white evo x gsr. I only picked it up recently - it has a few mods, but it's not running at it's full potential so I will sort that out soon. I come from a long list of evo's including an evo 3, evo 5, 2 x evo 6's, evo 7 and a Tommi Makinen. I thought I would 'upgrade' to the x, but still unsure if it was the right decision or not! I joined up here a few weeks ago, but earlier in the week I found a spotted card on my window while at a shopping centre.. So who was it?
Cheers
Dan

The X is much more refined from what I have found,
I do like my 7 but still prefer my X
But there is something about that 4G63 and the older shape that appeals to me, maybe more pure to what the evo is. . . . the X is like growing up
good but not quite the same
Any who, I reside in Woodcroft when I am in Adelaide, again welcome

Thanks guys.. Yes Kayla, it must have been you who carded me,
Dion, I agree mate. I prefer the X over the VII any day of the week. Yours is a GTA right? So probably a bit further removed from the true essence of an evo (no offence!). It's getting rid of the Tommi Makinen for the X that I have a hard time dealing with, but most would understand this
. However I am really enjoying the refined drive of the X and once I sort out a few issues on it and give it a few custom touches, I'm sure I'll be happy with my decision. I nearly bought a black MR like yours too.. Beautiful interiors compared to the GSR.
Look forward to seeing you all out and about!
Cheers
Dan

Hi Erin, I met you at another evo cruise when I was in my TME - coffee shop then hills run north east way. I actually saw somewhere that you were looking at selling and I tried to get in touch through facebook but had no luck. Shame you're selling but can completely understand.
I can't remember if it was me on Flagstaff Hill Rd or not! Do you remember what colour wheels the white X had? Mine has black rims. I did go down there on Wed morning, but generally I remember every evo I see!

Was most likely me then on Wednesday. I don't normally go that way for work but had a meeting at Norwood. At the cruise, mine was the white one with sticker kit. Once I sort out some fuel issues I'll come out

Welcome to ClubCJ.
Haha you owned my dream Evo (Tommi Makinen). Really nice to hear that you're sticking to the Evo line, you must have a lot of experience in owning them! Enjoy your stay and hope to see you at a meet soon.

Welcome to the club!
Yay another evo! Its always great to have evos out cruising with us. I was also at that evo oz meet with Erin, sadly I don't have an evo
would love one and am trying to convince my partner to buy one.
Try to cone out to one of our cruises. We have one every month, plus a few last minute/spur if the moment meets. This months cruise will be towards the end of the month and we are heading south, most likely end up McLaren Vale way.
Enjoy!
