Well, went to Birmingham last week to pick this Volvo up.

I had wanted a T5 for ages, its been in me for a while, always liked them since BTCC in the 90's and when the 850 T5R came out after it was always one of them cars i had wanted.

So insurance renewal had dropped hugely, sold my quad and decided to buy one, initially i was only looking to get a normal T5, but this S70R came up that has had a good life and was already Rica Remapped, so I snapped it up.

Just gave it a quick polish and wax today and went for a bit of a drive.

My mate rob used to have an ex police t5 estate and it went like shit off a stick. Was lowered 40mm on 17" borbet alloys with fully stainless system.

Alot of Police do use T5's, my mate had an old ex police V70 in the same shape as mine above,

But I can assure you that this is one not Ex-police,

power delivery is superb, very smooth, but very responsive, 1st gear is useless wet or dry, and 2nd enjoys the traction control, but absolutely love the way it drives, best car ive owned yet

What it running? 300bhp? Id imagine 1st gear would be useless like you say

Im wanting something petrol & turbo next....fancy an Evo, I think anyway, still looking around for ideas.
