Re: Goblin Works Coyote Capri
I'm afraid I still don't like it. The fact that they took a mint 2.8i and did that to it - yuk.
It's like taking the Mona Lisa and painting a moustache and a cock on it.

Re: Goblin Works Coyote Capri
Personally Id prefer it with that running gear but more standard bodywork but I can appreciate the work that has gone into it. Those wheels do improve it

I asked him if he was just clearing out parts or jumping the Capri ship completely, to which he replied "A bit of both"!!

Cant disagree with any of that, at 52 I still have the ability to be as stupid as any kid
I do especially like the RS200 idea
