What have I done? (Impulse shed buying content)
Discussion
So... last month I bought a Passat V5 as I needed a car asap, got a little sick of the lack of power and lack of mpg, I felt if the car was doing mid 20's mpg I might as well buy something with a bit more oomph.
I do love the 5 cylinder noise, and I do miss the shove of a turbo'd car.
So, ebay today... what's this? A Rica mapped 850 T5 with 15 minutes to go... Kept refreshing and refreshing... stuck a max bid in and won the bugger for the sum of £590.
So I've gone and bought a tuned Volvo estate, in orange, for not a lot of coin. Am I in for a massive world of financial pain and ruin, or some 5 pot turbo winter bangernomics fun?
I've never bought a car unseen and on ebay... I've just insured it (surprisingly cheaply) and I go and pick it up tomorrow.
Some confidence inspiring Volvo T5 related would stories would help my nerves! Anyone?

I was actually looking at that one myself. They are addictive
In fact, I'm kicking myself for not buying one sooner.
They sound even better when you "liberate" the silencers. Here's mine:
