    Default The Return! (again)

    Chaps!

    Hope everyone is keeping well?

    After what is a 5 year hiatus, I'm scanning the ad's for another nice 260 (or 75).
    I really miss the Bittersweet one I sadly binned!

    So the criteria is monogram; low miles and well cared for.

    I see most of you boys have been working the piggy bank hard and actually gone ahead with the Supercharger install.
    Are there any reviews on this?...!

    I've taken the 101 route and directly messaged a few guys to see if i can tempt them. One I can't get old of ('Thunderbird') and the other isn't for turning! (Mr Newey!)

    Anyway, fingers crossed!

    Steve

    Cheers Colin!

    I need to get up to speed with the latest/best exhaust options too. I used to like the old X-Powers. Anything out there to trump this? Criteria: loud with some snap, crackle and pop

    Hi Stu

    Yes I did clock your one is the ads list! I think the mileage & accident damage is a bit off-putting for the price; but it sounds like you've looked after it really well! Looks like Colin is a massive fan of the car too

    What BHP does it make - do you know? Isn't the pulleys/uprated cam/filters a 320bhp upgrade?
