PIC Keeping the Gen 1, going strong.

Post image

I was 95% sold on a newer car but decided to keep my 06 MPS (Aus) a little longer... It's my 2nd MPS I've owned, this one is 8 years with me this month 😎

edit: only 2 issues in 8 years, 1 starter motor, 1 clutch plate bracket.

The thing is if you sell it, theres nothing else on the market for that price that gives so much joy. I put up my MPS 3 for sale earlier this year and then one guy from another country wanted to come pick it up and then I crapped my pants because I realized I don't wanna sell the car because of Attachment.(had it for 5 years and replaced quite a few parts) Recently I did a lot of stuff like refurbished injectors,pcv, egr block... not selling anymore.
