So, why not have another Evo? Surely big enough & quick enough? I considered one before the MPS but, the spoilers and "In Your Face" styling put me off the idea....... You don't live up near The Rainbow do you? Used to see an Evo parked up near there...........

You don't live up near The Rainbow do you? Used to see an Evo parked up near there........... Yeah that was the one. White Evo 5. You cannot get as much in the boot of an Evo as you may think. Quite a bit of room is useless due to the brackets from the boot lid in the way. That is why I got the cupra r... Massive boot and great with 1 kid but I now have another on the way and can't get the baby seat behind the drivers. And i can't view the for sale section yet....
