Hi folks, at long last I am a 6 MPS owner. Lusted after for many a year and only now that I am 'really' old can I run and insure one. I am from Glasgow and would like any advice of any local specialists/garages you would recommend. My car is 6 MPS 55 plate 52k ( with no mods that I know of ). I am not looking to mod. it, standard spec is ok with me and ample I would say  Cheers

 Hoping to get a meet sorted for the end of the month up in Stirling/Falkirk area, so fee free to pop along! Check the meets section.  EDIT: Avoid Macklin Motors Mazda in Hamilton and Darnley. The garage at Hamilton is a disgrace, and every employee is beyond incompetent!
