    Doesn't seem that long ago you were thinking about xpowers....

    A comparison would be great! looks a lovely car! A lot beefier than the 260...

    Always welcome to say hello and pop to any of the meets and let us have a gander at the new car in person

    Looks a very menacing car, hope you enjoy it as much as it sounds like you did with the 260.

    The one regret of my 260 ownership was that I never managed to get hold of any xpowers. Although funnily enough, I noticed that the 260 even on standard exhausts sounds much meatier (V8 rumble) than the VXR8 with standards. So I'm now looking to get an upgraded exhaust, the cost of which makes xpowers look like an incredible bargain:
    Over £2,000 for a switchable exhaust

    Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the meets and bring it along one day...
