MG MICRO BLISTERING BIT OFF CAPRI TOPIC

Hi, a bit off Capri Topic but I'm hoping there are some painters on here that may be able to help. I have a 2002 MG ZS. It's almost been stood for a year outside but polished up frequently. It sits on a drive with a couple of other cars but this time when I washed it and gone to polish it there are ...

Re: Wanted - Mk3 Capri X pack kit or similar, new or used

These used to make them back in the day and I think they still come with RS logos embossed in to them.

Lots off money to go with it. He should shut his mouth and drive a bloody car. Still my voice isn't valid anymore as I ...

I just don't get supposed super cars. I have driven the odd one and always find them massively over priced nonsense.

Prices are dropping of late I've noticed.

I think the capri bubble is ffnally bursting a little bit. I saw ACA Auctions last week and Silverstone cars were well off estimates. I have noticed this across all sites. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on ACA and the like if you are in the market, all the traders use them and then you see the...

Re: Are speed cameras safe?

Always an interesting debate. As suggested if people with local knowledge slow down for speed cameras but then speed up to and beyond it, are cameras working? I would argue in that instance no. If they are at an accident black spot or a school then what is the alternative I suppose. It all boils dow...

Sad indeed. When Craig goes I fear that's the end of Bond. It will either be a woman orr someone the woke brigade want. Neither for me. Bond is what he is.
