Down on the Street: EVO IX on the third floor!

January 8, 2012 in down on the street

I spotted this Mitsubishi EVO nine two weeks ago in a parking garage in my hometown.

It is a bit hard to see on this blurry picture, but there was a pair of glasses on the dash that literally shouted “old guy in midlife-crisis”.

My biggest objection against the EVO is the too-big-for-my-taste wing on its tail:

I can remember seeing a modified EVO IX some time ago where the big wing was replaced by a saner little small wing. Perfect wolf in sheep’s clothing. ;)

This EVO definitely was one of the cleanest I’ve seen so far, but given the glasses it could hardly be trashed.

Wangan Warriors meeting 10: it was a bit misty

November 24, 2011 in wangan warriors

As said in the first impressions posting: it was misty…
To give you an impression, it was this misty:
It is quite misty out there!
On the positive side it could theoretically be beneficial for taking photos at a smaller diaphragm without losing the depth of field. Unfortunately mist also means there is less light, so I had great difficulty to go higher than 5.6 on one of my lenses…

But this photo of a white Sil80 is a good example of that effect: Read the rest of this entry →

DOTS: Real Mistubishi Lancer Evolution!

November 20, 2011 in down on the street

Mitsubishi assigned a number to each evolution of the Lancer rally car with four wheel drive and a 4G63T engine (after 2008 the 4B11T), so the EVO VI would actually be the sixth evolution of the Mitsubishi Lancer rally car.

I found this seventh generation Lancer powered by the 1.3 4G13 parked around the corner earlier this summer but never actually placed the pictures here.

However the time is right: as you can see this Lancer isn’t ready yet. It only had some striping, vinyl cut banner and some alloys distinguish it from how it looked when it left the factory.

Last Saturday I thought I spotted an actual EVO but found to be surprised it was the same car! I followed it and managed to take a snapshot of it while taking a roundabout: Read the rest of this entry →

DOTS: out of placed EVO VI

October 9, 2011 in down on the street

I spotted this Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI in the parkinglot of a biological apple orchard. I already thought before going there me and my not so environmentally friendly 29 year old Carina were a bit out of place (especially after driving 40 kilometers to the orchard), but the Lancer was definitely more out of place here!

Still wonder how weird sight it must have been: the owner loading up a few kilos of biological and environmentally friendly apples in his EVO VI. XD

Itasha airbagged Lancer Evo V

June 22, 2010 in itasha

I know: airbagged cars and Itasha don’t mix, but these airbags are a different kind of airbags: they replace the original item of this Lancer Evo V:

Yes, that’s of course the perfect airbags for an anime loving itasha owner! ;)

Just for the record, this is how the whole Evo V looks like:

Very nicely done, but not exactly my cup of tea! ;)
