If you turn onto the Dave +1 channel in about 30mins (17;15) you'll see the bit on the 260.

Know the feeling - we get Dave if weather conditions are perfect, and I've been up and polished the aerial! We certainly don't get Dave +1

There's also a Fifth Gear review I've got somewhere on the PVR - also appeared on Dave when I wasn't expecting it, so recorded it on Dave + 1 ;)

Thanks! I've had a ZT 190+ for a few years, which has been a great (and reliable) car, but it's getting a little old & high mileage, so I'm thinking about replacing it. I haven't made any firm decisions yet, but a ZT260 is certainly a candidate. I came across this site yesterday and found it to be a great source of information on the ZT260.

My wife will take some convincing though - she thinks the worst thing about the ZT190 is the fuel consumption, so that's not going to help the case for a ZT260 :(.

To be honest, I've had both, and if driven enthusiastically the 190 MPG is not massively above the 260 as you're working it harder (or maybe that's my driving)

I know Steve Childs owns the TG car.....I assume the Fifth Gear the same car with different plates...?

I had a 190 before my current 260, which I have now owned for two and a half years. I was fortunate in that the 260 had been professionally converted to run on LPG, which at around .55p per litre, makes it actually cheaper to run than the 190 was. Obviously depending on your mileage, it may be worth thinking about, before discounting the 260.
They are fantastic cars, and if you get a chance to drive on, you will be hooked:D

I had a ZT 160+ before the 260. (Xpower Grey mk1 why change a good thing)

Sadly the 260 is no where near it on fuel economy, a 'B' road average of 27mpg versus 14mpg :( and since I fitted the Xpowers that figure is heading towards single digits :D

I'm sure I would - I had a Passat W8 before the 190+, so I'm a fan of 8 cylinder Q-cars!

I'm not in any rush to get a new car, so I'll just lurk around the forum and see what comes up. I've had a read through some of the older threads and I would have bought this one without a second thought. Shame I didn't join this forum a few months ago :(

That's similar to what I get at the moment from the 190 - around 25mpg on a mixture of roads.

It is, same car, different plates.

God damn, missed another showing :( However my m8 did hand me a, ahem, copy of the show so he may well have got it off that showing.
