Whore out your favourite car!

Post by **Major_Tom** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 4:16 pm

..mainly because WayneGT351 said it's too quiet and boring here

Post pics of your favourite car (that you've actually owned).

This is my baby BoB, Ford Capri 2.0S, a 2-litre 4-pot. Performance air filter and full exhaust system, braided steel brake hoses, magnesium alloy wheels and a whopping 115bhp @ the rears!!

I have skulls on it now, but no camera to illustrate. Will update when I can. Hope you like it:

And the best angle, the Max-ish angle:

Pictures of skulls and latest additions will be included when I have the means..............

I always liked how those kinda.. Squint at you.

I had the US 1976 Version and it's lights were a bit different.

I'd have killed for that front spoiler on mine, though I liked my rear spoiler better than that one.

(Took the spoiler off one time to see how it handled.. Put that sucker RIGHT back on!)

I'll see if I can dig up a pic of that car and my Javelin.

Would have been what we Brits call a MK2 I think. Just two, slightly squarer headlights, or quad headlights but without the 'eyebrow' section of the bonnet.

Yeah, there's a better rear spoiler I want to get hold of, but they're expensive and I need new wheelbearings before I start making it look cooler

I've got the reg number now after you forgot to blank out the last pic Major Tom, I've applied for the relevant duplicate paperwork from the DVLA. I'll be over to collect (steal) it around Dec OK?

Nice car, can't wait to see how she handles on these French roads. (I'm kiddin'!!)

Seriously though, that's a nice car. I don't have a car to "whore out" since all the ones I have owned have been old bangers or bog standard jelly moulds like my 2 litre Sierra GL. I did have a VW camper van (the bay window type) but I didn't get around to painting the big flowers or peace symbols on it. My ex blew it's engine on the M25 about 3 months after we split up.

Funnily enough, I've just bought one myself

Drinks like a fish, the brakes do nothing, and it oversteers like happy dog wagging it's tale. I love it

It is a special yes

, a very early one too. They came out in sept' 84, and this was bought in Oct' 84. I have full history to then too

Needs a little tidying, but it's plenty good enough to use. And the exhaust would wake the dead

Had to get something interesting, I was bored to tears with my 406 I had.
