Heard an RB5 go past me in about 2001 and I just thought it was flipping awesome! Only managed to buy one last year but worth the wait

Got my wagon as AWD for living in the sticks, something quick as slow cars bore me, something bigger/more practical than my Clio 182 - especially for the dog, and apparently because its cheap on fuel for the 50 odd mile commute I do pretty much daily....(hhhmm maybe not the last point so much)?!?

In 2004 was doing a deal on a volvo d5 to get rid of my crappy vw passat, came out of the sales mans office and saw a shiny new black blob sat in the showroom and fell in love, it was £5.5k cheaper than the volvo i was about to buy, so i figured that would buy a lot of fuel.

I was way too young for the volvo, pipe and slippers.
