Re: STOLEN FORD CAPRI V8
What about andy Kerr's mk1 escort cosworth. Found two years later less than a mile from where it was taken. Pretty well stripped and even chopped the bulkhead out of it.

Re: 1981 Ford Capri 1.6 'L'
Mk2 bumpers.
Well you've ruined that one haven't you.
1600L's are very rare. Rarer than a 280!

Re: STOLEN FORD CAPRI V8
I know. I've had a Few taken in the mid 90s. It was much much worse back then, there were burnt out fords in most lay bys sometimes. I get asked at most petrol pumps if mines an XR4x4 and have had a few notes left on it. I must admit I come home from work sometimes wondering if its still gona be the...

Re: Hybrid Pinto

Got an extra 15mpg an more torque without even opening the engine up! 10 min job and I can go from 12 retarded to 12 advanced in 60 seconds. On ...
