Pics: Mitsubishi FTO Spotted

gamerno1 · 31st March 2005, 21:14

was heading to oscar collection (irla) around 4:30pm. after crossing D.N. Nagar police station, a yellow car which was parked next the "The Club's" entrance got my attention. i could barely see it in the traffic. but when i came close, i was glad that it was a Mitsubishi FTO. the car was in superb condition with a yellow paintjob. my uncle had a grey fto a year ago before he sold it, but this was surely not the same one & looked much better in its strong yellow color. i took a u-turn, parked my car the opposite lane & my phone cam was ready to go~

i actually waited for 10-15 minutes so i could catch up with the owner & hear the baby, but he never showed up. the FTO is the RHD version of the mitsubishi eclipse which is 2nd in my dreamcar list.

Nice pics dude and nice phone cam there. Bharat Dabholkar has an FTO of a similar colour I think. I wonder if its the same one. He had souped it up from what I have heard

Nice pics gamer. Didnt know that something called FTO exists. Can you put up some more info on this?

BTW what phone cam is it? you got 1280*960 pixels resolution on a phone cam? is it the 7610?

gamerno1 · 31st March 2005, 21:32

thanks dippy & harrie. Sony Ericsson S700i. its the best cam-phone out yet (1.3 mp with 262k colors). my dad uses 7610 (1mp/65k colors). wait for samsung 500 (5mp/?colors)

coming back to the topic, the Mitsubishi Eclipse sells as the FTO in the UK market (RHD). it basically has the same specifications as the eclipse.

Seen a red FTO zipped around my college plenty of times especially in the morning around 9ish, seen a girl driving it.

gamerno1 · 31st March 2005, 22:06

right dippy. the 3000gt is much bigger than the fto & i think it has roll'up headlamps.
