Re: Not a Capri......

That car was the opposite end of the scale when they bought it. Hi Andy, All of the WD cars are at the low end of the condition scale, and to be honest, I probably wouldn't have touched that particular Sierra with a bargepole. It would sell for more than £6K these days though, dependant on conditio...

Re: Not a Capri......

Hi Andrew, That car was the opposite end of the scale when they bought it. But it looked great once completed albeit still heavily modified engine wise. The car above is standard very low mileage, but £70K :doh: This is the sort of dealer that is ruining the Classic/Modern Classic Car scene by putti...

Re: New car show

In the latest Capri Club magazine there is a feature on someone (Francis, posts a lot on Capri Power and is also a member here), and his experience with his Capri's on that show. Must admit that I don't remember it when I watched it though. Hi, I remember watching the blue 2.0S that whatshisname (J...

Re: Car SOS New Series

till too much Tim pratting about and yacking and not enough actual restoration. Completely agree, it`s just staged bullshit, waste of time. Wheeler Dealers annoys me `cos after every ad break they spend a couple of minutes recapping; "I bought an MX5....." I CAN remember that far back. I`...

Re: Car SOS New Series

Astra GTE Episode was good. They made references to the rarity and trouble of getting certain spares for them now.....and according to the show less than 30 still on the road! Still too much Tim pratting about and yacking and not enough actual restoration. Would have loved to see more of the Spax s...

Re: DRL's.......

Hi Andy, Unless you catch them on a Dash Cam and give it to the Police, I cant see them being caught. Has anybody actually bothered to hand dash cam footage over to the Police, or does it all end up on YouTube instead? Would the cops even bother to investigate any evidence? Probably too much paperw...

Hi Andy,
I wonder if they would even mention any scrapes over speed humps when handing the cars back? I hope so....

Re: DRL's.......

It still amazes me the amount of drivers that don't even try to hide the fact they are using a mobile.... I agree. I see at least a couple of people a day either texting as they drive, or with the mobile pinned to their ear. Even one person using their phone while driving is one too many. Will peop...

If it's any consolation to your sorrows, there is now an immediate on the spot 6points issued to anyone stopped by the police if they are driving while texting/using their mobiles...
