Hi,

I registered over a year ago, but finally will my MPS 6 this weekend.

I've been scouring Autotrader, Pistonheads, eBay and this forum looking for the right car! Last week, I found a 55-reg car with under 50k on the clock for a bargain price.

Although I'm currently an owner of a fairly dull looking car, Saab 9-3 Viggen convertible, it has the bonkers 2.3 turbo engine and massive torque steer! : eek2 :

I spent ten years of my life driving Subarus, including three turbo'd Imprezas and the family wagon Forester Turbo-S. Not shy to tuning cars, my Impreza was running 350+ bhp in 2001 when apparently it wasn't possible to exceed 280 bhp in a UK car. That said I don't have the excess cash/credit card limit to do manic tuning!

I see the 6 MPS as a an Impreza for grown ups, as apparently I'm too old for another Impreza! :wink:

See you guys at a meet soon
Andy
