Welcome stevec, where abouts in Dublin are you based and what colour is your GPX? (useful info in the event that you're spotted ;))

Southside - Rathrarnham area....

It's the one 'mivec' advertised here a while back - red with a vr spoiler.

Have had no probs at all so far - runs great. Heading to Paul Nolan for a service and belt change next week...

Cracking looking car, is the paintwork as deep as it looks in the picture?

That's the one.
It's had a professional re-spray at some point (maybe cos I've heard the red has a history of going pink-ish over time)
Had a mechanic mate check it out and he reckons it was pure cosmetic - (as opposed to trying to cover anything up).
Looks like it was heavily kitted out when in japan as theres a few holes in the top of the dash and rear shelf - you can just make out the TV ariels in the picture (rear window).
Also has oil psi and vac gauges fitted + induction filter.
