Default This was my favorite car ever!

I miss this little ripper to this day. It was about 20 years ago I sold it, and every time I think of it I wish I still had it. It spat V8s out, cornered and stopped incredibly well and sounded better than any car I've ever heard, except perhaps Brock's A9X...

Yeah mate you and me both. I only had my twink for two years and it was a very exciting drive. I could use it to its full potential in the hills and there wasnt much that could stay with me. Ive been scanning the ads looking for one to restore but no luck yet. In the meantime ive bought a mki escort 1300 2door to look at but its not quite the same is it? When ive rebuilt my capri then i will get serious about finding one.

Yeah, those Rims are wicked, They are called "Rebel Road Wheels" and they were 13 x 7 with 205/60/13 Yokahama A008s on 'em. I'll try and find a better pic of them.

Was so much fun in the hills and on the dirt, or just straight-out drags with just about anything... ****, I shouldn't have started talking about it.. I want another one!
