    S70 T5 - What a Car.

    Well i was bored tonight so i thought id decide to go for a spin as it was nice, so headed off down the M1 past Sheffield, on to the M18 to Doncaster, called at the dealers in Donny, saw a 54 reg S60R @28k, 6 cop V70s in the rear yard, then headed home back to Barnsley on the A635/M1.
    I absolutely caned the ass off my S70 in every gear, nothing has passed me all night lol, the roar from the ITG filter is awesome in 2nd and 3rd, well every gear lol but i'm still buzzing, i just wish they cornered better but you cant have it all i guess, just hope the S60 is as good a drive. Beep Beep.

    They are ALL good in there own respects. The S70 does have the T3 advantage - stronger rods etc as they ironed out all the faults of the 850s when they commisioned the 70 series.

    S70 is still a special motor though!
