    Great Video Mike, I Remember Volvo Pulling Away From The Old, Rear-Drive, 100/200 Series To The Front-Wheel Driven, 850’s The 850T Was A Hot Car, The 850 “R” Was Even Hotter (True 300 Plus Sleepers Of The Day) Like The Well-Built, Rear-Wheel Driven, 100/200 Series Built Through Late 60’s Through Early 90’s, Those Front-Wheel Driven (Will-Wheel-Drive On The R) Where Solid Tanks!! Happy Holidays To You & Yours Mike, I Can’t Wait To See What’s Next Good Sir..

    O had a car exactly this. One of the best cars I ever had. Quite fast for its time. And the best and more comfortable seats I’ve ever experienced in a car and it includes a child seat on the back arm rest. The weak point is the rear motor mount. A motor being transverse and with so much torque just rip apart it and the sticky buttons for the windows.

    @DaveBaker-vb3jg 9 месяцев назад +1

    Hi Mike. Going to love this one! That said, all your content is good, and when you get with Randy....... you two bounce off each other well. As said elsewhere, Volvo T5 was the police car of choice back in the day here in the UK. If my memory serves, it was known as 'the terminator' within the force! Also raced, very successfully in the BTCC, (British touring car championship) during the 90`s. Take a look, they sure shift with that engine!
    Last weekend, an English creator, 'imstokze', found one of these, by coincidence, also an estate as they are known here, and is embarking on the same journey. Any problems, you could both call each other up! Love the Benz content though, please keep that coming, old or new. Am biased though as drive an E350 coupe! Best wishes to you and yours for Xmas and New Year.

    the 850 T5R won the British Touring Car Championchip (BTCC) as far as I remember in 95 and 96 but I don't remember if it was the saloon og the wagon they raced both and tecinally it ran from 1991-2001 or 02 because they facelifted it in 97 and renamed it the S70/V70
