Thank you Mr Williams, the T5 has been brilliant. It does use nearly as much oil as fuel (as you can see from how black the boot is) but its loving the used R and M3 oil I've not had time to take to the tip.

It doesn't get garaged, never gets washed, parked in supermarkets, run on any budget fuel, and i love it.  So much more fun than the p2.

Few pics in its un-loved state.

Feckin hell who's house did you park outside to take that shot.

[ChrisH]

ha, that's its home.

[irf]

very nice house, can you adopt me please?


i'm sure you know but thought i'd mention it, you know you do have two different wheels on the car dont you?

[DTP]

Oh I see You bought it off some rich bistard.

[ChrisH]

Two different wheels? It has 4 different tyres and all need 15 psi a week.

dunno if its just me but if you're trying to be funny, its not coming across very well.

[ChrisH]

I'm in two minds if I should bring the m3 to Combe, I'm a bit worried it might rain though.
My old man is up at the end of the month for the e-type 50th anniversary weekend at Silverstone, ill get some pics of that and the M3 together.

[irf]

could be completely off here but with the mention of the e-type, have you put pics up before, maybe on PH?

[ChrisH]

Yup, restoration thread on PH somewhere.

[irf]

ahh, thought so, nice

[ChrisH]

[irf]

yep, definetly seen that picture before

[GazT4R]

Now that is beautiful......................that 850 looks right at home.
The E-Type don't look too shabby either.
Lovely place mate and some cracking cars.

70% chance of rain at the moment, forecast thundery showers so hopefully short bursts and drying track in between.

[rhkumar]

Really lovely looking house Chris.  Adopt me instead?!  Irf is no good to man or woman! He can't even deliver a tyre gauge

Just been out to check, both rear wheels are different. I guess If I washed it I'd have noticed that.

How the hell did you see that from the pic?

[irf]

pretty obvious when you've been surrounded by geeky volvo people for a few years
