Good morning. I've been lurking here for a while doing my homework but I thought I'd introduce myself and ask for some advice. I'm currently mulling over buying a 6 mps and have found one on eBay that might warrant a test drive. However it's 60 miles away and has MPS OC stickers and a boost gauge so I thought is ask if it's been owned buy someone on the forum and if it's a decent car for the money. It's on eBay at the minute for 5k (silver) and has black wheels. Reg DY06VLX Thanks
