Still not bad considering the weight of the car though :) I would imagine that the T5-R had a fair amount more power (240 as standard?) so it's not a bad result either way. Mine has been rolling roaded at 248bhp/217lb ft, should imagine the Volvo would of been knocking on the door of 300bhp which i...

Was my bosses son's car. Nice as they are, they are too firm, and too hardcore for my taste. No doubting their credentials of course!

M3 Shed

Saw this car a couple of weeks back, has done 70k and looked a right shed. The wheels have been painted when they should be polished, the front bumper was heavily chipped and cracked on the lower half, and the paintwork was one of the worst i've seen for a long time. The lower half was literally a m...

Grip isnt a problem though, being able to la...

No mucking about here, although i will run it with less fuel next time, had 3/4 of a tank.

Its getting a Pipercross VIS kit coming which will put the filter in the bumper instead of the engine bay, which should give me a bit more, and maybe some nitrogen filled tyres ;)
