There is a good reason for that - better not say though or i would have to kill you.

Hi S70 T5 SE i think, as it has ECC and winter pack,all the lec windows,
mods too many to list, just look at my sig

Gary.

not too many of us around as you say. how many 850 saloons are on here, seperate thread of course.

Mine is a S70 SE. It's the 2.5 Turbo with 17" BK Racing alloys, Sports pack, Comfort pack & Winter pack.

Jet black with a few little upgrades by myself inside (Shortened stick, leather/chrome knob, Sony Head unit, Upgraded speakers, Silver & Chrome hand-brake, chrome glove box handle) - constantly being asked by peeps if it's a T5. I even got the thumbs up from a Police S70 in livingston about a year and a half ago whilst he slowly over took me at 70mph!

If I ever get around to a BSR or RICA upgrade then there will be no difference between my S70 and a T5.

But gotta agree with Tom; running a house and a S70 on one wage does tend to leave a dent in the wallet.

Mine can be seen on the BK Racing website or at my site: www.freewebs.com/dacvolvo/volvos70.htm

Bought standard in December, done everything since.

**Phuturephantasy** · Tuesday 28th February 2006, 19:01

I've recently bought a 98' S70 T5 CD spec -

Pretty much all standard so far except I've replaced 2 of the Perfo alloys with 2 earlier Columba alloys as they were badly pitted - Had to put them on the rear as the discs are too big up front and the wheels wouldn't turn - DOH!

Hoping to get an ECU upgrade soon - probably Upsolute as they come to you and there don't seem to be any other options down here in the South-West (Somerset) - don't really want to travel up to Birmingham just for an ECU upgrade if I can help it.
