#2, in the shops now

If you cant find a copy mate, try dropping the office a line retrocars@unity-media.com

wicked start,

Its been a while but its finally back, lots of old skool Ford comtent promised in the coming months

nice one mate, i though i was going mad in me old age there for a bit knew i'd seen it, i think the mag it was featured in Custom Car, Rod and Custom or Street Machine etc probably just called the feature Lemon Squash.

oh my days, is that battersea park?, i think i went to that event, bloody years ago.

think lemon squash was a Mk1 capri with roof chop, cologne kit and 302, V8 in it. Appliane wheels to i reckon

wont have time to work on the motor till the weekend now, but i'll give that a go

dunno yet, its raining cats and dogs here today, cant be arsed to work on the car

that'll do the job

thanks for the tip mate. what brakes are you running on yours, got a 302 in mine and the brakes are struggling... when they're not stuck, lol

not really much rust, just a touch but that cleaned off almost instantly on driving, pads are properly jammed in there, reckon the piston might be siezed, hoping to take the whole lot apart tommorow if i get a chance. maybe soak everything in WD40 to free it off and grease it all up.

If its not one thing its another getting the 72 Capri out of storage and ready for daily driver duty, its been driven a bit over the winter, mainly round the bloke every few weeks, havent had any issues. well, not many. but. looks like the front brakes are sticking on good and proper, only got down the road this morning and had the front right pulling like mad on braking, jacked it up and the front right brake was stuck good, let it cool off and was able to drive it back, got in the garage and now looks like the front right is doing the same thing. what do you reckon brake gurus? will a few hot and cold cycles trying to drive it free the brakes off, or are they knackered?

wicked old skool recaros

nice job mate, love old Pops me, Pinball wizard, speed freak, puddle jumper and all that, now make with the pics

best issue to date

wicked job lads just dropped through the letterbox, amazing all round, great Capri content, lovin the euro Escort ( finally, lol ), top issue. was in the office last week to see the PVW boys and the PBMW lass , gutted i missed you lot, next time.

...sort it out, been waiting for the Euro Escort for months mate I'll be dropping by the office in a couple of weeks, Elliott at the other mag has promised to get the beers in, ( i know, i was shocked to ) hope to put me head round the door and say hi. ... now bring on the Euro content

Heard elliott, si and the PVW gang are going, could get messy

this one should be wicked

wouldnt mind quizzing the owner about the specs, looks wicked. German apperently

nailed it good and proper, but you grow out of it. lol.

Im not saying films with fast cars being driving badly dosent influence people to do the same, it does. films like fast and furious have been one in the eye for people who care about cars. organised motorsport takes the illegal risk out of racing, no thrill for chavs, i think you'll find most people who are seriously into rallying or drag racing dont practise on the street. you dont put the lives of innocent people at risk when your making a film, or racing on the track, Gumballers do. the Gumball cirus sends the message that its OK and cool to do what they do on public roads, the whole thing about "its a rally not a race" even police escorts in some cases, it all gives a nod and wink to the antics. the illegal undertones of the event and the illegal footage which is readily available makes this stuff look cool to people who dont know any better, the organisers get rich off the hype created by illegal activiy directly related to their event. now, i think they are different to me, and i would hope you, because whereas most of us have been stupid behind the wheel once in a while, we know its wrong, stupid and illegal and dont make an event out of it, endangering other road users for profit. ... and truthfully, no, i wouldnt want to take part in the event, i grew out of being a muppet behind the wheel, most sensible people know right from wrong and grow out being chavs, i own a couple of cars with enough horsepower to scare the pants off me at weekends but street racing them is just childish and stupid.

those are fiction, its not real, they are films about bad guys doing stupid stuff, thats the plot. Gumball is an actual event on public roads that is put on telly.

Gloryfing driving like a twat in a modified car, have a look see what you think.
