Anyone fancy a swap/px? Probably the most well built car I've ever owned but just a bit bored of this..... Got plenty T&T, all working well, had fortunes spent on it. Would look normal again with the wing painted and a matching wheel. (can supply the one with missing bolts).
Preferably a Range Rover or another big Estate, but I'm open to all ideas! Try me ;D

Well this seems to have had some recent interest again online after being passed around two owners after me. So even though I sold it at the beginning of the year I may as well tie up the end of the story... Late last year I was shooting a fairly big advertising project in my photo-collage style for Lonely Planet. It was based around capturing the life of four cities, so for the 'local' two (London and Paris) I of course had to include the car I went along in! See if you can spot them.... Blatant plug.... Get your prints here www.adrianbrannan.com or www.facebook.com/AdrianBrannan.PhotoCollages The campaign even was used in the London Underground amongst many other places, with the T5 of course making a subtle appearance too! I did get a bit bored of my one supposed comfy lazy car just being another turbo'd wannabe sportscar, and the lack of towing ability did annoy me. Well yes, it can and did tow.... but 2 tonnes dragged by a boosty FWD car without an LSD does lead to the odd broken engine mount, quickly worn rear brakes and often a lot of tyre smoke from junctions! So to replace it I bought its big brother. The last real Volvo, a facelift RWD 3.0 Auto 960. Proper comfy barge, effortlessly tows the track car, even more room in the back for all my gear, some handy low down torque, and for the first time in my car buying history a lazybox ;D I do miss the 850 still, I even miss the MPG! As it could reach 30MPG when driven gently, unlike the 960 which has no hope. I'd probably have another 850 as well, as it was a great car, just not as ideally suited to my needs as the big RWD barge is.
