    The Turk

    Well it's come to this I'm now the proud owner of 3 volvos
    After a lovely little run down to Dorset I picked myself a lovely little gem



    Loaded the little stinker up and got her home

    Gave her a quick wash and clean and she is starting to look ok
    She does need a lot of work but a vac and polish and a few bits and bobs and I'll be a happy 855 T5 owner


    She is still full of dog hair and smell but with a little time and effort I think I got a basis of a tidy project
    Much thanks must go to Martin (MRP) for going to check her out and then not running away with it before I got there lol

    Haha, no danger of MRP running away with it, he doesn't buy, cars, he just gets given them.

    Looks a good project Geoff!
    What's the plans?
    Seems the trend to have multiple volvos, I've not given up on my mrs getting one yet.
    I think if Martin is given cars then fair play to him, I've only been given one car & to be honest it was a lot worse than either of his.
    I don't see why the ribbing tbh Steve, that's one of the reasons Martin avoids this place now.
    Pick on frankie, he bites back.

    The thread name brought me in, I thought the last owner was from Istanbul or something until I saw the colour

    Looks a good project Geoff.

    Looks alright that, Geoff

    Same colour as my first 850. Still the car I regret selling the most, even after... Ooh...must be 10 years!
