    There's no other better feeling !!!

    There's no other better feeling than when your T5 is back to top form! With the new year upon us with a fresh 12 month insurance along with her back up to performance scratch, with the sun shining theres no other better time to take her out for a drive around the lovely Lincolnshire lanes Awesome day! its been a while with the winter months at full swing and a few minor faults I've not been able to open her up till today
    Even had a bloke in a 57 plate V50 2.0D impatiently over take me whilst I was sat peacefully behind a Renault scenic !! (just like throwing a sheep to a pack of lions!!!) How he thought he was so clever! As i giggled to my self at his dangerous and pathetic manoeuvre whilst flicking her in to sport the scenic turned off to my delight ! After the bloke in the V50 got a bit of vision in his rear view mirror through big black cloud of smoke he realised he was no further away from me than when he started and sharply realised it wasn't just any old Volvo he came up against as i swiftly spooled the turbo and just watched him disappear in my mirror. Totally priceless!! Great days driving missed my baby

    Fantastic story mate, almost a tear to my eye.

    I bought a cheap runabout to potter about in and it lasted all of two weeks before the 850 was insured again.

    There is nothing like them and they always put a smile on your face!
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
