Bet you didn't see me! Okay, I was in the works Transit van...... Wasn't the weather awful?
Amazed that we haven't seen each other before considering how close we live. How are you getting on with the 'ro. It nearly looks as good in red as in black! Lol.

I still love it.

I miss my bike so I'm thinking of more power for the car, maybe more noise. Not too sure whether to go for the Monkfish performance pack upgrade. I don't know what difference that would make to the power or sound. I'm a bit reluctant to spend a lot on a supercharger though.

My problem is, I get bored with cars hence the wife and I having 10 cars between us over the last 4 years.

I've been looking at Porsche 996T's........... eek but I really need 4 seats as the wife has only got a two seater.

Not convinced that you will notice the extra 15 or so horses over your current steed, although the extra noise is supposed to be good, just seems too expensive to me for what you get.
Having looked at the options(prior to buying a second house...) I think that if you want serious power upgrade, then you need to go down the supercharger route. Mark at Rapid GB is just around the corner from us, and he has some monster upgrades, it jut depends on whether you mind the supercharger scream and potential/possible loss of warranty on what it in effect a new car.
Anyway, whats a porker? (I've looked at the photos - they look good)

FI induction is the only way to get serious HP for reletively little money. I went down the exhaust & remap route first all I could notice was a little more noise. Mark at RapidGB will do you a magnacharger for around 5k fitted and believe me when I say it totally transforms the car....and it will eat anything this side of a 911 turbo.
