    The 850 certainly looks the meaner of the 2 great to see them side byside.
    Thanks

    Oh my word, this brings a tear to my eye. Looks exactly like my T5-R did. There is not a day gone by when I climb into the T5 that I look and wish I had acted differently on the night of the 10th Of January.

    Your car really does do you justice Marty, it is immaculate.

    This was what mine looked like the day I bought it

    Cheers mate, no where near as well presented as your T5-R though I might point out.

    Its getting there slowly is old project R.



    Started refurbing the wheels today after I ran out of daylight, I need it to look mint like yours does.

    For a minute there I thought you had put a 70 series dash into an 850. I have seen it done before and it looked fantastic if not authentic.

    The 850 of course looks the best both inside and out

    lol. Wouldn't swap it for an 850r/t5r though. I much as i like the looks, the interior is to old fashioned, the s70s looks old enough as it is.

    You say that, but when standard (and when they are working properly!lol), which would be quickest?
    I know which one would stop best!

    It would take more than mine getting its boost problem sorted for it to get a 14.4 1/4mile.
    15.1 was its best last year on its old map.
