I'm back in an EP3 after four years driving dirty diesels.... have regretted selling the last one from the day and hour I sold it!
Most of you will be familiar with this car, bought from mikegsi. Jumped on a plane to Newcastle, train to Darlington, and a scenic run up to Cairnryan for the ferry back to N.I.
Couple of age related marks on car, and a dent above passenger door handle, but i'm going give the car a full lick in the spring, as well as freshen up the rocker cover etc
Car came with a serious amount of paperwork and receipts, so I wasn't put off by the high mileage
Car has been heavily modded, and I don't intend to change much, apart from the HKS exhaust, suspension geo, and below scoop from FiberWorx, its a great car as it is.

MOT'd car Thursday past, no issues at all.
Apart from the tester asking me if i'd put the 6k HID's in myself, I answered "why, are they a fail?"
The reply was hilarious, "installed HID's must have washer jets and self levelling, but I dinny care!" What a legend!
He jumped into the car and we had a right yarn about modded cars, he got the iPhone out and started showing me pictures of his chaser.
Anywho, pre-MOT I gave underside a once over with scutch to keep her sweet for the winter
