I am now at the end of my first week of ownership of my 6mps, and i couldnt be happier! My other cars are sat sulking away in the corner now as its an addicted beast to drive (albeit ive only probably allowed it to come on boost 5 or 6 times this week). So a few things i have learnt, importance in this order... 1) everybody on the forum is very welcoming and true enthusiasts of the brand, its like a proper community of like minded people all available to advise and help! A massive shout out to Justin for helping me with a few questions the other night! 2) its one hell of a machine, in my eyes the ultimate sleeper! Ive owned some quick cars, but when this thing boosts its power bangs in like a train.... caught the mrs off guard the first time i took her out and she slapped me  out of shock!! Ok if your into that thing i suppose, im still on the fence! 3) people constantly ask wtf it is! Seriously exclusive car, makes it stand out and a bit more special. 4) every 19 year old with a chav cannon purtruding from their rear bumper wants to race you, regardless of it being a mighty 1.4, and you pull of normally not exceeding 200orpm in any gear and still annihilate them. 5) the stock sound system is the tits!!!! Thats my summary and overjoyed with my purchase....

Welcome along. You don`t say what mods you have. Did you have to travel to get it and where are you based?
Don`t see too many red ones but then again you don`t see too many of any colour.

Glad to hear your loving it! Picked mine up Tuesday evening. I'm quite impressed with how mine pulls and it's a good 110ponies less than yours! I had some guys in a megane 225 get a jump on me off a set of lights, they got completely clear of me until I got into 3rd, reeled them in so quickly that the drivers mate was pissing himself laughing!
