    I took a Mazda MPS out last year .... I wanted to replace my Subaru Impreza Turbo .... nearly killed myself (Four Wheel Drive spoilt me rather!).

    The MPS is a good car .... GTR, however, well .... yes - not bad for around £50,000

    You really do struggle with the concept of success, don't you?

    Ah, you must have been in a 3 - the 6 has 4wd (its also as rare as hens teeth), dont think I'd fancy 260bhp on the front wheels either!

    I'll probably be spending about 20k on my next car in 2-3 years, you never know maybe an early GTR will be knocking around that price by then.. if not it may have to be a 911... It will be around my 40th, so it needs to be a proper mid life crisis car. :)

    Loved the early scoobies since my really excellent (daft?) boss at the time lent me his P1, but they seem to have lost their way a bit of late.

    Sorry, yes ... the 3.

    I was in the market for a new car and the 6 had stopped production.

    I would highly recomend a Scooby ..... Impreza Turbo - the most capable car I have ever had.

    Only on his scalextrix track or in his own mind maybe?

    Greener ... are you called this because the green monster of jealousy haunts your every waking moment?

    You sad, sad, little man ...
