Just joined and just bought myself a stunning 3 MPS mk1 in true red and what a car, really wish the roads had been dry on the way home to give it the beans, i've had the scoobs many yrs ago which were good but the power in this is click of the fingers! Longlife stainless, decat pipe and cobb induction kit ,282 on the rolling road, well chuffed!!
