It was suggested that I post here when I could...guess now I can. This is up in another part of the forum as well for those of you who have already viewed the original post.
Been floating around here for years as my g/f has had an EP3 for about 4 years now (and guess who had to figure out how to fix/mod it?), so I figured now would be a fitting time to join...especially since I just bought one myself!
Haven't picked the car up yet and probably wont until this weekend, but here are some shots I took a few weeks ago when I looked at it. It's never seen snow and is rarely driven in rain...a shame since it will become my dedicated daily, but rust proofing works wonders!
Here's the pics:

It's a 2003, clearly VBP with about 96,000kms on it. It's actually owned by my g/f's dad, so I know where it's coming from at least. Amsoil since new as well as constant maintenance when needed. Other than that, it's stock...for now.:mbiggrin:
Here's my current toy, aka, the track toy/garage queen:
