At 3 months old Our baby boy was taking up a lot of space, cramped trips got me thinking about a large family estate. It had to be big enugh to swallow the load, powerfull enugh to be fun, and rearwheel drive.<\/p>\n

Option 1) Ford Scorpio 24V Cosworth. Looks odd on the outside but was a great all round car.<\/p>\n

Option 2) Vauxhall Omega 24V, Great cars but pricy and tales of cambelt issues..<\/p>\n

Option 3) Audi A6 (100) Avant V6. Great cars but costly..<\/p>\n

So we went away on holiday for a week crammed into the sierra, I looked at every passing garage trying to spot a Scorpio but to no avail…<\/p>\n

We got back from holiday and I was imediatly on the NET ready to commit a couple of grand to a late Scorpio…<\/p>\n

Then it happend.. I spotted a Volvo 850 T5 on ebay that was cheap…<\/p>\n

Ok, it’s front wheel drive, but it’s a volvo so should fulfill the other catagories…<\/p>\n

It was soon sitting on my drive…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
