Bit late to the table here but hello and welcome from a fellow Scot not a million miles away in Darnley  I'm newish myself . Bought a white 3 MPS Mk2 3 months ago and love it!  The mod itch is too strong to resist  I'm actually a saddo as I like to keep my tank topped up when it drops down a 1/4 which is about 100miles , think average mpg is 28 realisticly as I use mine for work too so lots of 30mph and a bit of M77 . Not sure how much I get to a tank but the computer is optimistic saying 400 lol!! See u around. Steve

Quite a few in the area by the looks of things. Didn't realise Philv6 was even closer. Actually heading to Kilbirnie tonight so I'll keep an eye out for the mps

I think ive seen you about mate yea passed 2 white mps between howwood and the lochwinnoch round about last weekend which i thot was strange as you never see many about lol, it was white i wanted to start with but seen this one pop up and couldnt resist it lol yea got a few mods in mind going to get an exhaust from meercat and order an intake recirc valve and some lowering springs and spacers at some point only things ive done so far is order a set of wind deflectors and changed the sidekights and reg lights to white leds.

Know what u mean, I used to have a Hawkeye wrx that did a painful 24mpg all the time..this is bliss in comparison! Have experimented and found mine likes Tesco Momentum 99 the best, it goes thro Shell Nitro a bit more don't know why! I love that Grey colour , would've loved urs or silver but my white one was the only one for sale in Scotland at the time.. Me mr "must keep my car clean" buying a white car!  Anyway IMO the MPS looks great in all the colours tho . Cheers, Steve
