Talking of fords....I had a few classics

Mk1 Escort 1300e with a silly 1640cc x/flow running about 125bhp (and no grip when wet..but she drank lots of fuel with webber 40's fitted  :evil:)
mk2 Escort Rs Mexico (a genuine one worth £££ now and I had to scrap it as nobody wanted to buy it!!)
mk3 Capri 2.0s In diamond white with grey bottom half (and rust)
and then I moved to my xr stage which lasted years  :lipsrsealed: (and i even owned an xr2 that was stolen after 4 days)

but vw project wise I'm looking at something at the moment that should be good fun  :undecided:  :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:

What drugs are you taking though Len, the Crapi was the worst car ever

You should educate yourself Joe!
To give it its full name it is the Consul Classic Capri. It is the most beautiful car Ford GB has ever made!

I also love the old Escorts....my last one was a 1.6 ghia with full rs running gear and 2.1 pinto. Went like stink and great fun but could not hold a head gasket....had a thicker copper one put in and this lasted 2 months. Sold it to a guy up Scotland and miss it sooooo much. Put the RS 4 spoke alloys on it and bought front bucket seats and had them re upholstered to match the rest of the interior, held you in lovely, great car, cheap to insure, used fuel but more fun than most modern cars. Could not afford to get one now though!!!!!!!     Deano
