I thought they'd been quiet for a while. Obviously relocated to Nigeria to plan this. Disgraceful!
Their activities must be funded by royalty payments, so we should boycott their songs!

Hi,
Great, it will be nice to see another person there. 8-) Shame the V8 won't be coming though, I think we'd all like to see (and hear) it! :)

Hi,
When I goggled these to see what they were, one site I went to says :
"you need to have other quality styling mods to avoid it looking tacky."
Yeah, right!

Those pics are from this forum. I hope the owner doesn't mind me using them to illustrate what you were saying.

Re: Cumbria RSOC Day - Photos

They're just Sierras with mid mounted Cossie engines. Apparently the clutches are really harsh. On or off. You have to give it the beans just to pull away. Performance aside, am I alone in thinking they're bloody ugly! Hi, Neither of the above opinions are enough to diminish my desire for said car!...

Re: Pepperpot Refurb - Colour

Hi,
I don't mind black wheels with polished rims, but I definitely do not like the look of wheels that are chrome or polished all over. Way too 'in your face' for me personally

Re: Not sure I like the look of stretched tyres.

Hi,
For the record, these cars were the height of fashion in their time, but as Steve points out, fashions change. They would have been fantastic in their day, though.

Re: Not sure I like the look of stretched tyres.

Oh, and in response to the thread title, I am sure that I don't like the look of stretched tyres.

It just looks like the owner has tried to save money by buying narrower rubber because they couldn't afford the correct size.

Re: Capri Meet in 4 Weeks!

Hi,
Here's a thought. If any of you guys have any small spares that you want to give away, sell or swap then bring them along too. What do you guys think?
