855 R ManualMeeting 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:

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... Originally Posted by Vikingxc

Thanked 1,005 Times in 711 PostsWhat 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!

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!

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
