im now looking for a 850 T5 Estate ...have emailed about a couple and looking on the autotrader

i want to look at a few before i buy, as tbh im a bit weary as it will be my first turbo car and ive heard they cost mega bucks if the turbo is knackered


my 850 20v will be for sale once i find the right T5 for me

I know of a cracking example that may be coming up for sale shortly (not mine mind you) depends how much you have to spend?

i will pay the right money for the right car

it has to be reliable

Now you get to learn how to pull out at junctions without Mr Kwikfit wringing his hands.

Tip: If the car moves out slowly while a whirring noise is heard from the front end, you are eating tyres.

Enjoy


PS Take the T5 badge off and pootle around looking for little boys in shopping cars with fart cannons...
...they think they are old farts cars.

broo hahahahahahahahaha.
