I was driving home from work last night at about 5:30 and passed a turquoise / light green 850. It was heading towards coventry, just outside leamington, before the national agricultural centre.

I couldn't tell if it was a T5 or not as i was half asleep when i spotted it, but it looked to have the T5 front bumper and the paintwork looked spot on!

There's both a saffron V70R and a (fake? no TWR badge) green t5r about round these parts too!

Can I just say, I'm a Leamington Lad originally ? Well, tough, I just have...

Pzorb - look around for posters and the V8guitar may mean something to you....hope that's not too cryptic....blimey I'm feeling odd this afternoon!

I thought all T5Rs had the TWR racing emblem on the back next to the 850 T5r bit? :shifty:

Nope! Its a common myth that the T5R is somehow related to TWR and the BTCC cars but the 2 are not connected.
