WR1 Owners Club

Hi all,
Just thought I would say hi. Picked up 429 on Wednesday morning and have been grinning ever since. I thought my wrx was fun but the WR1 is far better than I expected.
I would like to say a big thanks to Matty the muffin man, and his superb muffins on offer, when I first looked at the car. To be honest, I think it was the muffins the closed the deal.
The car is a credit to Matty, and the hours he must have spent cleaning and polishing it.
I have owned a lot of cars, but I have to say, this is by far the best.
I will try and get some pics up as soon as I can, but a bit busy at work at the mo. Spent all of my tea break today, just cleaning the glass.

Cheers,
Mark

Yea he done well to get it looking so nice after the accident, you should look on the site for the before and after pics, when it was towed away on the back of that trailer it certainly looked like another One had bitten the dust!












Only kidding!!!! Sounds like you have got a nice well looked after 1 (apart from some muffin crumbs down the back of the seats )

Welcome Mark, another WR1 in the locality so you will joining us on the local meets hopefully. We will be in touch soon. Matty's car is a diamond look forward to seeing you in it.

Regards
Steve

cheers guy's,

I did wonder what Matty meant when has said that the paint was "like new"

I will do my best to get to some meet's,but sometime's it's a bit difficult, as I work shift's and some weekend's.

Hi Carl,

that sounds like a plan. I might be over Cov next Saturday, I'll get back to you if I am.

How about a beer at the Lime kilns. I'd be up for that.

I reckon you'll defo improve the MPG with all that cleaning and waxing mate - darn it, back to talking MPG lol!!

Hope to see you and 429 at a show sometime, and don't forget to pop onto SIDC eh

I like the idea of the Lime Kilns Steve, maybe one eve next week?. I've never been in that pub, so would be a first for me. Maybe Carl can pop over aswell? be like a mini meet

Matty, went round to Roger Clarke Motorsport today, to book it in for it's 6 month service. Ollie came out and had a quick look round the car, he said it looked like a well loved car, so a credit to you for looking after it so well

I thought I had bought something a bit more exclusive, but there was another 1 in the car park and another 2 in the workshop
One in the shop had a massive front intercooler and the one in the car park was from Preston, I think.
Anyway, it's back to RCM next week for an oil change.
