I can get it today if nobody else wants to go. I have no use for it mind but can hold on to it or post it to someone

pm sent

Someone near Rayleigh in Essex has offered to donate a manual to the forum - is there anyone in Essex who either wants it or will pick it up to hold on to for the time being?

Sorry if it's in the last couple of pages somewhere but what idle speed is the car set at. The video at the end seems to show about 600 which is pretty low

Is that an actual thing, from back in the day?

Cheers Paul, that makes me feel really old

Nice one

Google street view which says has an image dated September 2018 shows a colour coded Red Capri, a Red Sierra and, in the background a white Sierra with spoiler - XR4? Doesn't seem like they have a fast turnover of classics!

Also, we generally always preach about how 'it's your car you can do what you want with it' which applies to this as well

Indeed Danny, we can also apply our skills to more modern cars as well

In a upcoming book next year it does mention the 2.3 mustang engine as the second best engine in the world .

For the life of me I can't remember what the best would be

I saw the first pic and thought it was a photoshop effort - then scrolled down
Seems to be real. OMG (as the youngsters say!)

Nice get together chaps (and Daisy!), would have been nice to be part of that

What's with the venetian blinds reflected in half the pictures?

I would consider that a (slight ) invasion of my privacy. I don't believe you have any right to privacy Hamish as you are on display to the general public. Not because its a good picture but this image is on my blog https://i.postimg.cc/k4TWxJvn/e97bf63631ff46b889895cd59ebabb43-870.jpg If I said I ...

So it was your fault Nick :o I had the 2.8 at work today, fortunately parked under cover, and when it was hammering down at one time this afternoon I was thinking I wouldn't be driving it home at 5 if it kept up. Helpfully it was just a light shower by then but it didn't occur to me to blame you :lo...

Do you guys ever get any shit for taking pictures of strangers cars , and posting along with the date ,time and location. Maybe that's why you don't see many about ,possibly the owners fear being stalked by members of the forum . :lol: :? No Hamish. A majority of spots will be when parked up away f...

So my cousin just randomly sent me a picture of a Capri he spotted in Dover when he was last there - the very one from my post a few weeks ago!

You’re welcome. :cheers: It’s a good museum isn’t it. Hopefully you saw some proper trains with diesel engines and/or electric motors! :lol: I recall a dull streamlined thing, had some descriptive letters, APT I think! and something called a Deltic. Wife said it was really ugly :o The APT at Shildo...
