T5? Stick this up your R's

Cleaning out my mixer pipe was ACE.....just wish I'd worn 3 pairs of marigolds - that black stuff IS nasty.

Ha ha after the hassle we had with it last year hope it goes whilst warranty covers it

If you remember right dearest it was misdiagnosed by a certain volvo technician.

I got a D5 V70 phase 3 that does 40 MPG and is fairly quick.

I've also got a '99 V70 R that does 18 MPG and it too is fairly quick.

Now the D5 is nice and comfy and easy to drive quick.

The R is load and brash and it has to be pushed to perform.

Which one do I prefer?

Well depends on the journey.

If I want a laugh and the Mrs is not with me then it's the R. If I want to get there (or accompanied) it's the D5.

Now the lowest instant MPG on the R i've seen is 3.5, but got the D5 down to 3.3. That said the D5 does refresh more ofeten than the R.

Best of both worlds.....perhaps an R for the weekend & the derv for the chores.

It's down to money if we were all loaded we'd be running 1000bhp Vipers (well I would!)

Long as you enjoy what u got it's all good!

You wouldn't get your lanky a$$ in a Viper....PT Cruiser perhaps !!
