Green 850R in Reading today P805 T**
I saw a green 850 coming up in my rear view mirror but there was something different about the bulbs in the front lights which gave it a different appearance or is there something about 'R's front lights I am not aware of? I sped on ahead but he got in front at the lights by Mercedes though by choosing the inside lane which is when I became aware he was an 'R', then I caught him up but he shortly roared off up the ramp towards Oxford Road making a glorious sound! I gave him a beep and a wave goodbye but his eyes were fixed on the road. Guy with dark hair and glasses
I also saw FOUR early phase 1 or 2 V70s on my travels today!

I've just checked MOT history and it doesn't look like the MOT has been renewed boooo. I sold it last year, it had a little tap coming either from the valves or from the rods when I sold it, but there was a newer T5 block waiting with Shem to be put in. The car was a BEAST, with the ECU upgrade and all the other mods, not much could keep up with it. Brakes were upgraded to the bigger 302 units and new callipers all round. I'm hoping this car isn't being broken and is just off the road at the mo. I would have been coming back from Basingstoke as I was working at The AA most of that summer lol Last edited by theador; Jan 22nd, 2017 at 20:16. |

Only just seen your reply!
Its not scrapped, its sorn, phew. I agree it would be tragic if if were scrapped!: https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ViewVehicle Yesterday somebody down in Wales said they might let me have first refusal of their mint 850R which has had no expense spared when they come to sell it! Fingers crossed!

I'm tempted to get another one, but would probably hold out for a Gul Yellow T-5R this time. |
