"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

But unfortunately it doesn't coincide with a trip doon sooth. Let me know when it's on again though and I'll see what I can do, although I'll not be in the Capri.
I think as classic ford lovers, the ACE is somewhere we have to visit for some reason. Seems like it's been adopted as a classic ford mecca.
Much like the Scotch Corner Hotel up here. Or maybe not LOL!

Than at Scotch Corner, even at extortionate southern prices.
Speaking of which, I once paid £2.60 for a pint of flat beer and a bag of crisps in a pub in Islington. Thought it was some sort of sick joke at first.... I come over all funny just thinking about it....
