Well, got another amount of cash again, un decided what i want at the minute, loads for choice for cars around £3k

not sure whether to go for a Corsa or Nova XE, or go for a Volvo 850 T5 as ive always fancied, bit of a diverse choice, but liking both at the minute.

No rush to get anything though as I dont use a car everyday, and have my run about Golf to put me on for the time being.

yes. my mate (bonelorry) had a 300bhp V70 T5, sounded awesome outside the car on boost,

Ive spotted a nice 850R that is highly tempting at the moment,

Get an 850 T5R. The 850 was a tad better looking than the V70.

ive found one reasonably price 850R, not a T5R, but there is little benifit over a normal T5 apart from a massive price increase

The 850 T5R became the 850R.

yes, it was just a follow on really to meet market demand, different wheels and think the bumpers may be slightly different, either way they are both nice

For some reason, this is nice:

I regularly find myself having to stop myself swapping the Laguna for one. I'm not sure I'd like the fuel bill.

Didn't see that. Shame. That's one of the best colours they came in.
