Yep, was pretty relentless for a 200 quid diesel car with over 200k on it. I swear though I never went over 70 in the T5

I'm planning on going to my first meet meet at Crooked Billet 28th Sept (as you can see I don't get out a lot, lol). From what I can see there are no other 940s saying they're going, lots of newer models and some Amazons, looking forward to seeing these, hope we'll be able to hear and see each other over my pump noise and smoke, lol...

Other than the dented bodywork (minor dents on pretty much every panel, plus a couple of major ones!) it is quite sound. It did 25,000 miles on veg-oil in 6 months up and down the M11 with only a few self-induced problems. I don't think I left any of the vegoil conversion on it as nearly all the bits went onto my new car. Regards TFB |
