Im with BB - "I love the fact that when the old girl is all clean and glossy, she still looks stylish and sporty even after nearly 6 years. The mps6 still looks classy and modern even compared to styling of new cars, doesnt feel aged"
I often forget how good mine is when stuck in the daily commute, when even under acceleration that keeps you ahead of most of the geese, the Dashhawk records a throttle opening of no more than 25%. But it is when you get the odd occasion where you have to pour on the coal, such as for an emergency avoidance manoeuvre, or to join a freeway and some fool is playing silly buggers when you merge and you decide to dispose of him, that the car never ceases to surprise me with its shear blast in second, third and fourth gears, that effectively eliminates all problems in a flash.
I had occasion to appreciate the MPS' huge braking power in the weekend, too, when a truck driven by some dweeb two cars ahead of me clipped a heavy roadworks rubber bollard and sent it flying into the air. It bounced off the roof of a car in front before heading straight for my windscreen. I had nowhere to go as the roadworks lane was narrow, with excavations on both sides and all marked out by other bollards, so all I could do was stand on the anchors. It's not often I hear and feel the ABS come into play, but the car stopped in mere metres from 70kmh like a giant hand had grabbed it, and the bollard just lightly clipped my RH front corner, leaving only a small mark that easily polished out. Very close. If I hadn't braked we would have 10kg of bollard through the screen and inside the car!
Thanks brakes! I look forward to the new slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads about to be fitted too....
