    Hi and welcome,

    I too am a fairly new owner and yes I still have the window down but eventually had to close it when I got frost bite. They are a great bunch here and some of the work that they do making stuff and advice is awsome, you are now officially one of the few enjoy Martin

    PS you are very close to Nick at Austin Garages He is just the best I have seen.

    Cheers guys!

    I'd heard nothing but good things about Austin Garages, so the day after I got the 260 I took a drive over and had a great chat with both of them, thoroughly nice people, and booked my car straight in.

    Si.
