On a "real car" note, that MPS will be far easier - and a hell of a lot cheaper - to get more power from than the CR-Z, such as the BBR 320.

The annoying factor of selling a car with a private reg to then buy a car with a private reg means I'm firmly in the DVLA's mercy until then.

Heh, I know that struggle.

Good choice Nath, I really like the 3 MPS, especially the newer iteration.

Tempted by a first gen 3 MPS, seem to be quite cheap at the moment.

Nice car Naith.

Not as nice as some of the cars here, but recently picked up this:

60 plate Insignia 2.0 CDTI Ecoflex, with Nav, Parking Sensors etc. Ex company car with 90k on the clock, but full service history and 3 year warranty

Future 'mods' I am planning in order:

Second boot light (nice cheap mod)
Set of original Vauxhall tailored mats with clipping kit for rear
Headlight upgrade
Dealer plates
Audio upgrade
19 or 20" Vauxhall Alloys (currently wheel trims!!)
Retro fit Bluetooth

Nothing I need to do right now though, as I am very happy with the car

You were ordering one at one point, then it was a 116i then a 118i now its a 320d, I'm sure you owned a golf GTI at some point in the middle of this dream as well.

At least he has a real car

Never ordered an A1. It was a A3 saloon, and it was cancelled due to a 47 week waiting time and yes I'm happy with my 320D at 20 years old pictures to come in aprox 5 minutes.

Did you say thank you to mummy and daddy?

Nope - I say thanks to my training contract, hard work and savings.

Excuse my pics, on the move and want to hide my number plate. F30 - 62 plate. Going to keep it for a year or two, want something a little more higher ideally an X6.

Well wear and all that but spending that much on a fairly unremarkable car at 20 is just nuts.

Cheers guys.

Had test drove a few different cars and decided the MPS was the right choice amongst other mental ideas involving RX8s etc.

Looking forward to owning, dare I say it, a "hot hatch".

:cool:

You'll love it. Probably the best looking hot hatch out of the lot aswell. quite rare too, especially the facelift/mk2??? (which ever it is??) Mainly because of the TAX, what is it? £465? Ouch.

Still, great car!

Nice yard! One day...

Remember, 150mill tonight guys

NathWraith · 24 Oct 2014 at 13:35

Tax is £285 for the mk2 mps, a fair increase from the £20 I usually pay

wingman · 24 Oct 2014 at 13:40

Even paying on the monthly plan would be paying more than a year on the Honda

I have a Mazda 3 now, seems all right.

Are you slowly working your way through every hot hatch?

Not sure something that red lines at 5k counts as a hot hatch

Howard · 24 Oct 2014 at 14:50

Oh it's not an MPS?

Nope, just a diesel Mazda 3 with a reasonable spec. Started doing quite a few miles with work, so wanted something more comfortable. Also never really got on with the Civic, too hard a ride and a bit crap to drive
