    Hello group. I purchased a 2005 R50 one month ago. I've wanted one for years and after doing my homework, finally bought all purple example. Drives and runs great. I live in Indy, In. area.I plan to freshen it up, mild upgrades etc. Have had a lot of interesting reactions to this car! From compliments to expressions of ire from the Supersize pick up trucks!

    Welcome to M/A! It's past my bedtime or I'd have some awesome yet snide remark to say. You're gonna love it here...it becomes a home away from home of sorts.
