:D Now and again when i remember, i go to Oulton Park to watch the classic thunder saloon races. Its great to see these old cars still pushing the pedal to the metal and the sound they make is unbaleiveable. OH i want one now cant get them out of my head.

Yeah i used to have a 3.0s mk11, bought it for £300 quid many a year ago owner thought gearbox was knackered, only turns out to be the clutch rusted solid on flywheel, cost £100 quid to put right. Scared the hell out of me though 4 speed manual and plenty of grunt made for a scary ride in the wet. Sold that and buoght another sporting classic the Fiat 2.0l Twin Cam Mirrafiori Sport now that was a quick motor. But rusted quicker than i could repair it. :( But my Rover 3.5 was the best. My older brother had a 280 capri Brooklands that was a lovely car to drive. Dont see many Capris now :(

I had a mate who had one prior to me passing my driving test, I always said I'd have one of those one day :D
Great car, shame they don't make cars like that these days :(

I know what you mean. I think the goverments far to p.c and enviromentally stuck up to go back to the good old days, shame really. It would be nice to find a good example of a 280 capri, would have to run it on gas nowa days ( cost of fuel etc ).
