Old enough to own a bus pass

Very few ‘original’ 850s left on the road now so this one will be preserved for the future

Yeah I've had 2 different remaps, straight thru turbo back, mbc etc but personally as I have it now the driveability is how I like it, I do have a small pile of mods I've yet to do owt with such as a pair of na cams, 3" airflow and inlet pipe and an xc70 catback but time and motivation I've not yet got there and Ive just concentrated on having it look how I like it

Perhaps the competitive spirit started long before the bus passes were available.
Some of us were around before crash helmets,seat belts,mot's, motorway speed limits,et al

Not bashing it at all. Just trying to remove the stereotype of the Volvo nature that old boys in their 60+ drive these cars.

So far I'm failing 🤣🤣
