Not exactly Top Gear however plenty of nice words on our big tanks. One thing though, why is the 854 more expensive than the 855? Doesn't make much sense.

Still a hard one to swallow though. :frown:

Was a VX mechanic when they were in their heyday. Light,fast and p*ss easy to work on.........everything held on by 2 or 4 13mm bolts! Loved them. Drop a 16V XE into that and you won't need a T5!! Especially with the Cav turbo motor and 6 speed box....:eye-poppi

I don't believe you's gys are cursing on here. I think its vile that you could even mention the word Vauxhall in this great Volvo loving and driving community. :eek: Alan I not only wanted that beauty of a yellow T5R I also wanted some t*ts to have a play with. When I got them however they were connected to this unusual and extremely terrible thing called a woman :shockedbi lol. I'm gonna get kicked off now for saying that lol. That Volvo sounds like just the car I'm after but no monies at the mo unfortunately. :blowingup. Marty I'll see you tomorrow, I'll text you shortly to arrange time.
