Other Info: This is my X-Power grey ZT260, which I love and have owned for three years now. I bought it new from Rayrigg Motors in Barrow in Furness in Sept 2005 and it has covered 14000 trouble free miles so far.

As you will see, I have made quite a few minor modifications, including heated seats, grille mesh, sat-nav, electric rear sunblind, walnut dash, Zeroes etc. as well as the recommended mods; heater hose, fuel clip, K&N air filter.

The carpets and seat covers were replaced by EMS in Kent for the green ones you can (just) see and the carpet mats were from our own BigA which match beautifully, in my opinion.

The car is something of a hobby and I often find myself trying and fitting new things just for the fun of it. I currently have a set of early "bullet" style rear view mirrors which I hope to fit soon, although my hands are still cut to ribbons after fitting the SuperDials s/s grille mesh. I am still undecided whether to have them sprayed or to source a pair of chrome covers. A more radical thought which has occurred to me once or twice is to have them sprayed silver and to have twin silver stripes sprayed down the middle of the car. I'll probably never do it, but you never know!

New wheels, supercharger? Who knows, the biggest surprise to me is that I still love the car so much after three years and can think of nothing that I would, within reason, prefer to own. A truly great car, which I'm very proud of. Meeting other, equally enthusiastic owners makes the experience even more rewarding
