2 Bloody great looker's

[volvokid]

The 850 certainly looks the meaner of the 2 great to see them side byside.

Oh my word, this brings a tear to my eye. Looks exactly like my T5-R did. There is not a day gone by when I climb into the T5 that I look and wish I had acted differently on the night of the 10th Of January.

Your car really does do you justice Marty, it is immaculate.

This was what mine looked like the day I bought it :)

For a minute there I thought you had put a 70 series dash into an 850. I have seen it done before and it looked fantastic if not authentic.

The 850 of course looks the best both inside and out ;)

You keep telling yourself that. :wink:

Any man who is forever contemplating swapping an S70R for a BMW can hardly comment ;)

lol. Wouldn't swap it for an 850r/t5r though. I much as i like the looks, the interior is to old fashioned, the s70s looks old enough as it is.

[Jim S70R]

Very nice, good collection of shots :)
Boot spoilers looks at home on yours :B_thumb:

[AndysR]

Nice shots, both cars looking very well indeed, R spoiler looks right at home on yours Marty :)

[martybelfastt5]

Your love is for the slower, heavier and more refined model is it....... :hidesbehi

You say that, but when standard (and when they are working properly!lol), which would be quickest?
I know which one would stop best! :mischievo

Fix your car and prove me wrong then.....

[LiamT4]

Whe they are standard. lol
It would take more than mine getting its boost problem sorted for it to get a 14.4 1/4mile.
15.1 was its best last year on its old map.

I'm only teasing mate, just don't forget you've got the bigger turbo standard though.
Time to locate a better map so you can enjoy the car and not regret what you "could have had" when the new owner gets the benefit of "what could have been" if you do sell.
I have to say my brothers S70R goes like a scolded cat and all that has is a Rica map so the potential is there for yours ;)

This is a better map, it felt far better through the gears. I think that this map is what started to show how knackered the old actuator was.

Wish my car would look as good as those! Very nice chaps :-)
