Hi from the West Midlands!! (by accident...)
« on: 19 June 2012, 20:13:00 »
Good evening! I'm Pedro and thought I might aswel join up and get introducing as I have bought myself a lovely MV6  :)

It was actually an accidental eBay win but I decided to honour it instead of falling silent like 99.9999% of eBay t$%#ers. I didn't even know I'd won it untill I got a message off the guy asking when I was going to collect! His name Was Darren from Reading, anyone reckognise the car?



I must admit it is sweet as a nut, sounds gorgeous, better on fuel than my old 2.0 Volvo V40 (work horse) and turns heads absolutely everywhere!

When I first got it I wasn't interested in it atall. Really not a car I could've seen myself in, almost decided to break it! I like low centre gravity, 4WD, Turbo, Noisy exhausts and no interior  :P

Long story short, I like it, the Mrs Loves it, baby on the way, it's staying lol


I'm very impressed with the handling and power for such a beasty. Tail end gets a bit happy from time to time when the buckets of torque kick in but I'm getting used to it now.

There IS a couple of things I'd like to do at some point...

: AirCon Removal. Excess weight and an item I doubt I'll miss

: Disable/strip out the manifold warmer doodaa that goes "WIIIIEEIIIEEIII" for about a minute

: LSD if they're not $100,000,000...

: Rear arches have some surface bubbling

: Very long distance/dream... maybe supercharge...


Well, thats the car, this is me, and that's my introduction over! Now for me to go and poke my nose around your Forum  8)
