Having sat in Ziggys cab at full chat I don't think the cab shell is too weak or rattly for a more powerfull engine at all, and besides looks like some interesting options for more shell rigidity just popped up in another thread.

Just read that, and it seems like another endless debate in progress :roll:

I still fancy keeping my 2.7 for the cab, knowing that whilst I won't be throwing it around corners all the time, that power is there for if and when I want it.

Incidentally, when I drove the Touring up through France at a constant 85 mph on the toll roads, it returned 31 mpg over 2 tankfuls of juice. Don't think a 320 will better that.
