Hi, Im Rich, from the Isle of Wight, just got a 2.0 Laser. Bought it for £350 on Sunday and it passed MOT with flying colours yesterday.
I compete in the Isle of Wight Autotest Championship- http://www.iowcc.co.uk/gallery/atherfie ... C_1205.JPG

I did have a Triumph Dolomite, until my Girlfriend decided to give it a try.....

The plan for the Capri is a little bit of cosmetic bits and pieces and then tuning, with the aim of doing some sprints next year aswell as the iowcc tarmac events. I will be using a car I dont care about for offroad events from now on.
I cant work out how to actually put my own photos up though

Re: Hi!
Hi Rich
That looks fun, and you have now learnt the lesson NEVER let a woman drive your car,
The simple way to post up piccys is set up a photobucket account (free) and just copy and past on to hear.

Re: Hi!
Excellent weekend, two events in two days
Really impressed with the capri, after all the tales of "capris handle shit",
it was faultless. I was running slicks for the first time ever which obviously helped
but the main issue was stopping the fronts coming off the rims. I had to put the pressures right up, which lost a bit of grip, but slicks are amazing! I ve got a seriously bruised knee, every left I kept whaccking it on the window winder. I managed tenth in class out of 35ish and took some big scalps for a bog standard Capri. My mate in the TVR stopped making medallion man jokes after I beat him both days!
