    Question 850 auto races 850 manual. Nothing to do with me.

    Anyone on here? Although I doubt anyone would own up... Interesting to watch as an 850R manual against a T5 auto, but without the mod details a bit lacking...

    And not condoning road racing - especially on single carriageway roads where there are junctions!

    850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...
