Meeting of two of the shiniest T5R/850R in south London this afternoon. Lucky old Jerry, over from France to pick up his 97,000 T5R called in before dashing for the ferry. Very nice car, it has to be said. A bargain IMHO. Not only has he got a great and unmolested car, he lives a relative stones-throw from the Nurburgring!

Couple of pics of GGO with mine - sadly not enough time to get some really decent pics:

Now chavved up the engine bay a bit with stainless and also put back the original grille - so these are a little out of date.

Dont think you have quite grasped the idea behind car park spaces yet though lol

Yes, that was when I decided I really had to get the wishbones rebushed to sort out the vague steering - been much better ever since...

What should I do - Volans or Titans? Have both, but like both too! Decisions, decisions. Having seen Jerry's car, I must say I like the look of them, but equally, I like the Volans as they are in the pics above. Oh the stress and torture of it all!

Cheers for everything today Phil :) Just sorry I had to dash off so soon to get the ferry home. I got back about half an hour ago- hanging big time!
To quote a certain person "I'll be back" :D

Will give my new baby a clean and post up some pics over the weekend :)
Less of the "old" next time please....even if it is true ;)

Nice cars! I know from experience what it takes to keep red paintwork looking that good. Must have plenty of wax on it!

Volans will always look great on there but these days everyman and his dog has a set of titans on
