Not exactly Top Gear however plenty of nice words on our big tanks.

One thing though, why is the 854 more expensive than the 855? Doesn't make much sense.

Yeah,I noticed that too. Maybe the "sedan" is a more desireable concept over there. You know what they say buddy......."only in America".....

Thats not nice, I'm still hurting inside :cry: I was at my mates garage and I swear it now looks sad. That was a big hard decision to make. I made easier decisions in business lol. It will live on however as bits and pieces are going onto my V70 and my mate bought the rest as he has a project 850. Still a hard one to swallow though. :frown:

Was a VX mechanic when they were in their heyday. Light,fast and p*ss easy to work on.........everything held on by 2 or 4 13mm bolts! Loved them. Drop a 16V XE into that and you won't need a T5!! Especially with the Cav turbo motor and 6 speed box....:eye-poppi

I don't believe you's gys are cursing on here. I think its vile that you could even mention the word Vauxhall in this great Volvo loving and driving community. :eek: Alan I not only wanted that beauty of a yellow T5R I also wanted some t*ts to have a play with. When I got them however they were connected to this unusual and extremely terrible thing called a woman :shockedbi lol. I'm gonna get kicked off now for saying that lol. That Volvo sounds like just the car I'm after but no monies at the mo unfortunately. :blowingup.

Marty I'll see you tomorrow, I'll text you shortly to arrange time.

Mate,we are as one. You would not believe what was done to me last year by the mother of my two girls after 7 1/2 years. If my stomach could've stood it,I'd have turned gay. I'll PM you....
