and very dangerous if ya have an accident......

Sssh I may try and sell it on here... Nah its still good and Jacq still loves it, Its just getting a bit unpractical and expensive as my drive to work car. So the idea was to downsive too a 4door, 4 banger. It was my idea to still have some good poke in there also.

Also Im not sure about the import market, things to look out for, servicing etc etc..
If you wanna look at an EVO, go to http://internationalmotorgroup.com.au. They're the best import place I've read about, heard about and even used myself at one stage. Andrew down there is a real genuine guy. Keep in mind an EVO that sort of old will be pretty uncomfortable as a daily, but if that doesn't bug you, my god they're a cracking drive. They will pants anything else for the money.

How would you know that? I'm not talking a dodgy install here, but a proper 3rd seat fitted, just like a dickie seat in a wagon.

You know what the most dangerous thing in a car is that could cause an accident? The driver.

Sounds like a good idea. Might as well try to retain some poke if you have to drop a few cylinders.

Yes, and where do you think the seat I am talking about goes? Away from any airbags.
