  1. that car is fanfuckingtastic! I was just up in Donegal sussing out an escort fabricator that i thought would have a go at the Capri putting it tn those colours. There is no better look. Have a picture of one of the Perana's in this colour on my desktop that i stare at every day. This time next year! Fair play.

  4. what a dilemma! do i buy a brand new Quaife ATB for a great knock down price or go the whole hog and splurge on a new total LSD. it'll be goin into a road going MK1 3L capri.
  5. Best Rally i've been on! Myself and Driverdoran did sh!te but had a ball (17th out of 35). i think i messed up every regularity in some way or another but at least he was on the money and was fastest on a few tests, beating even the minis and the Rocket Ron in the Beemer. Was based in Carlow, the Dolmen Hotel. Somone tell me how to get pics up here and i'll post a few. [/img]

  7. if we set up a new bank acc for just this transaction and made sure the money was cleared and then transferred to a new account before the car was handed over we'd be safe, no?
  8. Anybody going to compete or even spectate at the Trail Drivers Club Irish Classic Rally this Fri/Sat/Sun? Based in the Dolmen Hotel, Carlow. Few tests in the car park and others around the Carlow, Tipp area. Won't be all OSF but we'll be competing in the MK1 Mex. 35 entries altogether, we're seeded 19th. It'll be Regularities, Special Tests and Autotests done by some very talented drivers and navigators.

  10. first vid i've posted, taken on a phone unfortunatly.
  11. planning on doing my driving test in my Mk1 Capri. i'll need to get it ready by fixing up a few things. the passengers seat belt isn't in the best shape, so i may need to repalce it. i reckon i'm going to come across problems with fitting cos of the way the internal workings of the inetia belts. can anyone shed any light on replacing these belts? harnesses are sweet but won't be going in the car cos its just not that type (yet?).
  12. there's a pointy mountain in wicklow (near Dublin) called the Sugarloaf that i believed used to be a volcano til the council filled it in.
  13. idon't have a horn sorted yet so i send the revs thru the roof.
  14. sure thing, thaks for replying. GO ON THE CAPPER!!
  15. Just got the Feb issue and its all good stuff. I am a huge fan of Mk1 escorts, I navigate in one and i love it almost as much as i love my own OSF. That said though why couldn't the cover Escort play second fiddle to the MK1 Capri for once. That capper is rare (RS3100), unique (have never seen that done to a capri), modified (triple DCNF, NOS, etc), a mix of the old and new and a minter. The only possible issue i can see is that it isn't homemade, (I know we all like to see a sweet OSF roll out of a normal bloke's garden shed). I feel if this was an escort it would have been on the front. I know there are more Escorts out there than any other OSF but they still manage to get much more exposure than their numbers warrant. We have enjoyed 11 issues of RF, 8 of them had Escorts as the cover car and the 3 issues that had other OSFs(2 anglias and a cortina) had an Escort as their secondary feature car. Ye run a great mag and it has been great from issue one but variety is the spice of life. I'd like to see a change and i think yourselves and CF have recieved posts like this before so I don't think I'm alone. The other aspects of the mag are fantastic, esp the Tech pages. They have proved a great help on specific jobs and in my general understanding of the maintainance and modding of OSFs. Thanks for your time and effort!
  16. Mk1 Capri GXL all 3L of it, BABY!
