Spontaneously went out and bought a stock 2007 R26 at the weekend. Was looking for a 175 diesel for a while but nothing tidy coming up withing 200 miles of mid suffolk. Booked into engine dynamics to have the timing belt done and a possible run on the dyno. Ive never driven a R26 before but it doesn't accelerate how I imagined it should. Initially it goes but seems quite linear, holding back but does get there.
