Very nice, thanks for sharing a positive story. I'm sure the grape will grow on you. There is no reason the 850 can't be a fun car, especially with a stick. It is heavier than the Corrado and certainly the 4 doors are not as sporty looking but I'm sure you'll have fun behind the wheel.

Good luck with the bearings and any other stuff that comes up.

"That color is "Amethyst Metallic" code number 420," Of course it is, LOL. I have never seen one that color. Beautiful and very well bought. Welcome to th Swedish side of the Euro car scene.
