Thanks to you. This is the only turquoise 850 R I´ve seen in Spain, most being black or green. Although the R isn´t a very popular version of the 850 over here, for a start.

My '00 S70 GLT/SE. Bought it from my dad who bought it new. 227K on it now and no major issues but the seats and had to replace the a/c. Runs like new. Best car I've ever owned.

That's the same reason I want to wear an Armani suit to Walmart.

Past:
1977 240-crushed
1981 245-on a fenceline
1987 740-on a fenceline
1998 S70 T5M- sold.
1967 P220 (Amazon) - lofty ideal, not good for a pragmatist.
Currently:
1996 855R- paid more than I wanted, sunk in more than I should! But it's worth it.

Hi all. My first post so I thought I'd say hello and pop in a picture.

Also a big thanks for a great forum! I'll get plenty of use (and help!) I'm sure!

This is my '02 plate 1.8 sport auto (on the forecourt when I bought her 5 years ago! Only photo I have to hand at the moment..)
Still going strong - just passed the 100k mark and is still stock.

It's funny. I just found this thread and I'm scrolling through the pages and I'm thinking "hey, I recognize alot of these photos from google images.
I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

87 745 Turbo Intercooler...333k, all original!
96 850 Turbo wagon "totalled - parting out"
94 850 Turbo wagon waiting for tranny

They're all gone now....
