I'm in love!:D
Ford : Ford Capri 3.0S
Just makes all these boring plastic R8's and GTR's look worthlessly rubbish! Would love to have the money to pick this up at the mo. |

Grew up with my old man owning Capri's. Had a White 3.0S with black roof. Then had a 2.8 Special before it got knicked within weeks of getting it.
He had some before as well, but I was too young to remember them. |

Sometimes the dream is better than the reality. |

Love these cars, in my younger days when i was a bit too young for a car i used to look up to the older kids that had the old fords. most had 1.6 Cortina's/Capri's with the webers etc. if you were someone you had the MK2 Escort RS2000 but one guy at 19 went out and bought a 3.0s manual. Now when i grew up i was used to the performance of 1.6 Cortina's but the 3.0s felt like a rocketship.
But the biggest things that did it for me was those checkered Recaro fishnets - Yum. Then in 1986 (i think) the 3dr Cosworth came along and pretty much made everything look crap and slow. |
