Life On Mars
Life On Mars??? Surely they are thinking of the granada? The only capri was one being drove into a goal on a football pitch.
Also the flintstones - Super Aguri F1 car comment was daft, they are beating their own company honda on the track.
Remind never to go to Virgin Media looking advice on cars!

Re: Life On Mars
Yeah I noticed the Capri pop up more than once. Same with a Marina which caught my eye as it was my first car and also what I learnt to drive in - and you don't see many of them these days!

Re: Saw one today
Saw a Marina Coupe at the traffic lights by where I work the other day, twas a lovely fetching shade of brown. It was driven by a young-ish kid, but he had an old lady in the car with him, maybe it was his grandad's old car?
Nice though.

capri/cortina
looks like they just don't know the difference between a cortina and a capri, they make the same mistake here too:

Re: Trabant? Extinct?
The Trabant is not extinct! I dove past one tonight, those two stroke enginges sound dog rough though.
I also spotted a Rickshaw painted pink driving through the centre of shields, earlier in the year. As well as the usual classics and odd exotic car that pops up occasionaly.
