Hi Russ
I didn't know they made them in white, obviously the police have white T5's but not R's.
Is he a member of this site, i wouldn't mine a gander at that!.

They are rare as ££££! Only ever seen one on here, never in the flesh.

Surely Volvo would have answered that for him?Originally Posted by RT MECHANICS
That'll be me then! I was just passing and thought I'd look RT Mechanics up.
I didn't go out of my way for a white one , but it does the trick getting slower traffic out of the way (it used to be better but most Hants Police are new shape V70 now)
Russ's Yellow 850 looks so good in the flesh! and he seems a genuine guy doing (from what I saw) some quality work on 'our cars'.
May pop back sooner rather than later Russ, and I'll see if I can remember my cheque book!

hi Gazjacko
i dont suppose it was your white 850r parked in waterlooville fire station on monday was it?
That's a yes!
I work around the Portsmouth area so you may well see me around and as white 850Rs are seemingly as rare as rocking horse s**t I guess any others you see in the Pompey area will be me aswell ( look for the long areal on the rear offside tailgate)

-what am I saying, if it was a front tailgate i'd be going backwards!!!

I read somewhere that the original T5-Rs from 94 in white where demonstrator cars and where never intended for sale to joe public, so probably the same regarding the later 850Rs in white from 96 but obviously one or two made it through the net.

I saw a white 805 come steaming out of Kingston cresent the other month, blue light on top to one side heading towards the ferry port roundabout.
Was it you gazjacko?
That'll be me too!!!
I'm based at Copnor Fire Stn but cover the whole county for firecalls (it's not just me, the computer sends the nearest officer)
Steaming onto the Motorway no doubt, I probably had the stokers using their largest shovels (navy reference ) and about to go to warp up the M275.
where abouts in Pompey are you?
