Hi all, Just picked up a used Mk1 3MPS about 10 days ago. It's fun driving again - I was getting a little too mellow in my previous - Audi A6 - great car but more like sailing than driving! MPS is great fun. Sadly it's afflicted by the reported white smoke issue at idle and in traffic jams (pretty funny to look at - unless you're in the car behind) but hopefully a trip to the dealer under warranty should get me sorted (new turbo maybe...). Looking forward to enjoying it once it's been looked at. Happy to be here! Jon
