    Smile Blacky meets the Best R, C/o RT Mechanic's ;)

    Ever wonder to yourself what does a Truly mint 850 R look like?

    When was the last time you peeps saw a Mint/Concours 850?

    What would the forums best R look like?

    Well Blacky met her nemesis today........

    RT mechanics loan car,, cant belive it myself i found myself taking more pics of it than blacky of which i will let the pic's do the rest of the talking as no matter how i try, i just cant explain how good this car really is.

    Gav I'm not sure you appreciate how nice your car really is, it certainly packs a bunch and looks mint, certainly gets plenty of looks on the road too!! Honestly it's a real credit to all your hard work and I'm sure next year will only improve the car even better....

    If I din`t see the front grill I could bet its Andy`s R but knowing he would never fit an aftermarket grill gives it away.Very nice indeed.

    Was great to meet up Gav, even if you weren't expecting to see Damien
    To the eagle eyed you are correct it is indeed my car. As already said you don't give yourself enough credit Gav your car is far better than you believe, as I said to you earlier it's got to be one of the best remaining 855 T5's in the country and well worth your continued attention, and with that attention I am confident it can only get even better. Less of the best R bit though as I am sure there are better, that said I think it did clean up well for the shots



    I also managed to grab a couple of shots but with the fading light and my now dated digi camera the images are not fantastic, and it shows, that's a good excuse for more pictures at a later date with a new camera btw
