Jon, You have Mail

Interested, but a couple of things...

Do you have any piccies?
Why the need for a respray (my current WRX has done 110,000km without any paint work needed)?
Weren't the P1 alloys 17's or 18's?
I assume it is just a WRX not a WRX STI.

Thanks

Jon

I've got photographic evidence of the car reading nearer 180 on the clock on a down hill section of Autoroute outside Magny-Cours.Made mince meat of P1! The advantage of the standard WRX gearing as opposed to the STi. I'll try and get it scanned for all to see.

Wow this car sounds great to me....170+mph, you must be a real hero...sod it Ill have it.

How does £50 sound?
