Welcome Barry, you will have some great fun with the 1. Did you purchase as a daily driver or weekend sunny day car.

Mine is used at weekends and sometimes during the week and only on dry days

welcome barry the 1 is a great car get out there and put a smile on your face

Hi

I bought the car as a every day car, I used to have a WRX STI Type RA jap inport but this one is much better, having so much fun lol

happy days

Barry

Welcome mate... I also had a Sti ra import bloody good fun..

Congrats on your new purchase Barry, you are gonna love it. I use mine daily in all weathers and love cleaning it....

Hi mate

I did indeed use to own 147 - was a great car and enjoyed every minute of it. Went to the Prodrive meet last June and last years NBO and also took it to the Ring last October - although I guess you've already seen the photos!

It was super fast but I just didn't get the chance to use all the power that often - had wanted a WR1 for ages and now the itch has been scratched!

It was my daily driver as well but with a 50 mile commute was costing a fair fortune in fuel and also the 5000 mile services etc - if it was a weekend car would have kept it but saw a deal at Revitup (where I guess you got it from) did the deal and the One was gone.

Did you get the spare alloy? It has braided hoses and uprated barke fluid plus new front brakes but apart from that totally standard.

Enjoy it

Cheers

Si

Hi Si

Thanks for the info and yes I have seen the pictures, will post some of my own after I have cleaned it, damn rain and mud lol

Yes I got it from Revitup and yes I got the spare alloy and the back shocks as well.

I have had it 2 months now and loving every minute of it. I am averging 20 mpg but dont care lol.

I just need to find somewhere decent local to get it serviced, it has just over 58k now

One happy motorist

Barry

Hi chilly and welcome, I see you are being very kind to your one getting that sort of MPG, I dont think I got double figures in the first couple of months , mind you it barely goes above 4000rpm nowa days unless i get buzzed by something

and a welcome from The Midlands.
Wish I could get 20mpg !!!!

welcome along
