Just stripped off marks titans today and stuck on a set of volans i've just sold (awaiting collection) also gave me a minute to sort the volans on the 850r. So i thought its a nice day ill take a couple of pics.

Burgundy looks good with volans.

Oh and a pic of the t5r i'll be driving as a stop gap until i finish the 850r

Apart from an 304 rica the auto is totally standard gonna keep it that way. It will be used a bit then mothballed on the drive under a decent cover.

Fortunately i have parking bays opposite and space for 3 on the drive (one has to be the wife's polo), so Bx 16v and t5r, one space in the garage (prob buy a blown up one and stick spare engine in) and blacky i'll drive. So getting there, just need to do drive now.

What i really want is a gull, but they always come up when i've just paid out shed loads Ahhhhhh!

I think you may be a little biased there tho...;)

Steeve, which one will you be bringing to the softies meet then? (if it's the BX, you can park it on the other side, where the evo parked before pmsl)

They both look great, and I was joking with Daza-B yesterday, that if I hadn't already got 3 Volvos, then I may well have bought the Titans, with the burgundy car still attached!!

You know i look at it with the volans and think hmmm, i could find a better bonnet and bumper (last owner couldn't park old man) and put her back to mint-ish and sell for more or just moth ball as manual saloons are getting rarer now. They make good track cars as well being the lightest.

I really wanted this car to go to someone who will look after it, rather than put it on ebay, new buyer not appreciating it and then something goes wrong and it gets scrapped.

If its a time issue mark, then let me know as have to mot t5r before it goes.

It does look a nice motor, but with me recently acquiring the C70 T5 (Feb'12), and buying the V70 T5 (Nov'11), and the money that I've already spent on the V70, that makes another car totally out of the question for me.

Are you breaking it as things stand now, cos that would be a real shame?

I'll be using it for a few weeks, prob end of the month then not sure, may buy a auto t5r blown up and do the conversion or just mothball it as original t5's will go up in price when they go off the roads i guess.

Look, I shouldn't really say this, but have you heard about my car buying addiction? This happens when I have a bonus month, and then drink on a Saturday night. Then what really does it is when someone mentions breaking a car, and suddenly I end up buying it!! LOL

I'm not saying that it will happen again, but I'm not saying that it won't either. I also can't say when my next bonus month is, but my last one was January and they're every 3 months!
