That was a very posh car once! My mate's dad used to run 760's instead of instead of a Jag/BMW/Audi as they had similar image but cheaper and better.

It belonged to the vet across the road from new. We bought it off him some ten years ago and have had it ever since. It's a stalwart

Our's in a 940. The original T5 was an 850.

850 T5s have rocketed in value, recently - from £900 for a decent one, to £5,000 or thereabouts.

Some years back, one of my brothers had a yellow T5 R. Marvellous machine. Good fun as well, especially when the boy racers would come along side at traffic lights, giving it some shoe, lights go green and leave them standing, wondering what the hell just happened.

I like to sit at the lights and rev up like I'm going to burn them off when the lights change, then just tootle away at normal speed as I have a good giggle at the panicky look on the faces of the boy racers!

I used to have a Honda Civic, found for me by a friend when I was desperate for a car but had hardly any money. It had a big dent in the bonnet, but mechanically it had been honed and tuned by it's previous (boy racer) owner and had an outrageously loud exhaust and a few stickers, which I never bothered to remove. It was a lovely little car to drive; all in all, £350 well spent.

However, I used to get trailed by the police a lot, and I used to get challenged to race at traffic lights by young lads who would suddenly realise, from the age of the occupant that it was practically being used as a motorised zimmer frame, and just want to curl up and die from embarrassment...

@Osca That is brilliant, I have just looked at the member details and realised that those poor lads must have been doubly embarrassed

It would have been even better if I had dared to take them on and had won...

Thankfully they don't need to, it's brilliant, but I've used several products where actually sticking them with sh!t would have been more successful they certainly didn't live up to the word "adhesive " on the tube!
