have thought of that mate, but i've spent alot of time and effort on the Red one and she's serving me well(except the box lol). Better the devil you know.
I know both car's are spot on, and dont really want all the hassle and expense trying to find another 855.
The wife is jellous of the Gul lol so i wont be keeping her perminatly. The car that is pmsl

I'm very tempted to go on the hunt for another manual t5r after seeing your lovely Gul. One of the reasons i got rid of my old t5r was because it was an olive green one and deep down I wanted a Gul.
I've just had a health check done on my m3 and because i'm very anal when it comes to keeping my cars in tip top condition I'm looking at 4 new shocks, front discs and pads, new brake lines and 3 small diff seals and these come to £1033!!!!!
Volvo's are hell of a lot cheaper. When i had my old t5r i gave it to Russ at R.T.Mechanics and said what does it need to get it up to my standards and the bill was just over £2000 fully fitted. For this I got koni fsds, eibach springs, full suspension bush overhaul and wishbones all using genuine Volvo parts, new discs and pads all round, powerflex top mount and a carbon fibre front splitter!!!!
How much were you looking for for your Gul?
Ah, so you've got the extra seats in the boot eh? lol
Tbh that's why I got mine, second one came alon and the BMW 318ti compact was too.. er.. compact. With the compact I had to buy a Thule Ranger(?) roofbox for the pram - can recommend them btw as they roll up when not in use and being a soft roofbox they give a bit for higher stuff like prams
Don't need one for the Volvo.
