Cant wait to see the new addition , ANY MODS PLANNED? lol

I would talk steve into selling Billy wizz and keeping winnie if I was you!

How are you liking the 16t verses 15 g so far?

Daves spot on Black is the new Red , I read somewhere that black cost an extra £200.

Well done on your new purchase , I hope winnie doesnt get to jealous

Billie is going too - she is being replaced with another 855 hopefully. : (

I miss the kick up the arse you get with my car compared to the new oneand I miss the sheer noise factor of the 850 comapred to the S70 but the drive itself is fab!!! Its so much more refined than the 850. Just got to see those nice boys down at VT and then i can do a proper comparison!!

Cos the one we have in mind has the interior we want, the colour we want, the spec we want and full RICA!

I think a mini meet is in order you could have a go with my ECU, I find the 15G kicks in hard from 2000 rpm my 16t starts from 2700 rpm but by about 3000 rpm is very agressive!
On the road 15G 50-70 mph 5th gear is much stronger, here the 16 T is weak but at 70mph she comes alive.
With a little bit more revs Im sure you will find the new addition a bit quicker when higher up in the rev range.
I do think the 16T is a very good comparamize between the 15G and 19T

Congrats Mrs M , Seems alot of peeps are getting rid of their 850's what do you know that we don't...!lol

**Mrsmopp** · Monday 25th July 2005, 16:51

Nothing!! I am still keeping one 850 - get the best of both worlds tho this way!!

2 cars, you posh git!

**Al115** · Monday 25th July 2005, 18:54

Dare I ask... ME7 or not?

Alastair

**spesh** · Monday 25th July 2005, 22:20

It's on a R which is a 1998 which is not Me7 (way hay) only my opinion, nobody shout at me please!!!

**After_Shock** · Monday 25th July 2005, 22:26

Very well done, cant actually recall every seeing an S70 in black, ever! Especially with cream interior sounds like a right good find!

Whats the problem with ME7 spesh?

**Mrsmopp** · Tuesday 26th July 2005, 09:10

No, its not ME7 (as Spesh says) I wasn't looking for an ME7 tho tbh.

Cool - was just wondering - sounds like a lovely vehicle!

**Mrsmopp** · Tuesday 26th July 2005, 13:27

Had a proper go at her this morning, nice dry roads on the way to work and I'd have to agree Lance, the 16T does come in fairly hard after 3k. Done a couple of little mods which has helped with the noise (I miss that 850 growl!). 3rd gear is pretty spinny at the moment but I am sure that once her titans are on with a decent pair of front boots that can be resolved!! In the meantime I'll just have to enjoy it LOL!!

**lance** · Tuesday 26th July 2005, 14:37

Sounds like a fab example!
How many miles has she done?
Any pics yet ?

**Mrsmopp** · Tuesday 26th July 2005, 14:40

136k - not exactly low miles but I wont be changing her for a while so it wont make much difference. No pics til the titans are on and she has had a good polish - although I bet some pics will be taken at tomorrow nights meet!
