SpamFace wrote: Hello and  Seems your already reading up on the right things  Soon empty your wallet on here, I wanted to stay standard   So where abouts in Lancashire are you then? Cheers for the welcome!  I've not had anything to 'improve' since I had an S14A a couple of years back or at least not on that scale, so that's part of the MPS appeal. My brother is the same and his cars don't stay std for more than a few hrs.  I plan on finding the right car and then I'll try and address it in stages with the essential stuff first and then build on that. I'm over in Blackpool.

The mps is a rare beast good luck with your hunt to find one. Cheers fella. Yes they are a rare beast but that's part of the appeal. I have an old straight six Volvo on classic insurance in the garage, which I can smoke around in, so I might just be sensible and shift the SAAB before buying an MPS. I'm rarely sensible when it comes to cars.

How did you find the jump from the 9-3 to the MPS?

Or do you prefer the 4 wheel drive I like the idea of AWD, especially in a damp country like this plus I rather like the shape of the 6 in a stealthy sleeper kind of way.
