Hello,

Before I start posting I thought I'd say hello, and tell you a little bit about me.

I was "lucky" enough to own a Metro Turbo as my first car, and despite what people say about Metros I liked it. However the insurance company didn’t like it so after a couple of years of ownership it was sold for a 998 Mini, and over the last few years I’ve run a couple of Minis with normally aspirated engines of various sizes.

In the last week of so I have been offered a Turbo set-up, which is proving rather tempting.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll probably go for it (depending on price) but I want to make sure I know what I'm getting, so I appologise for any seemingly stupid questions.

Thank you all for making me feel welcome.

Three years on and I still haven't got that turbo lump fitted, I'll get there one day.
