    Where's all the T5's at?

    Is there something I don't know or are 850 T5's getting that rare now?, after realising that there's probably no way I can afford another R (yet at least) I thought I'd have a look for just a T5 instead. After having a look on Ebay there doesn't appear to be any, where the hell are they all?.

    Think the 850's are getting rare mate. Being broken for bits, coming to natural ends and those that bought them for winter running.

    Maybe look in March?

    Took me 3weeks to find one with a half decent spec in manual. Also any 850s including R's will need a few bit doing to get it up to scratch in my opinion.
