Team Blitz

Fred? You here on OSF? Think you can use this in a movie when we get it sorted?

going to go on this chassis:

Good, Fred! Congrats on your acquisition of a Capri for your fleet of creampuff film vehicles too! Remember, should you need a Capri for filmwork in the USofA, I'm there for you, girlfriend!

Hell yeah! Next time come thru Columbus Ohio, so we can do a rescue here! Returning for the Capri Swarm on Labor Day weekend? Here in Columbus, Ohio. Celebrating 40 years of Capri in North America. You would be a massively welcome addition. Any way we can help, contact Team Blitz. Parts cost a little. Tech tips are free!

Cheers, Duke. Accepted on behalf of my customers and friends in the Ford classic car world! Norm

Oh jeesh. Just got my mag in the mail. I'm well turned purple with blushing. Thanks to the selection committee, I'm all squishy and itchy with embarassment. The wife wants to meet Queen Liz, figures I can arrange it now that she's married to such a fancypants celeb. R-r-r-r-r-r..!

Fantastic, can't wait to see the Mk1 V8 Capri spread. Those are two super fine cars, and built right. And used regularly with gusto. Another fine issue, kudos to Si and The Gang on the great coverage of Classic Fords from all over the world!

OK, but who's on Phil Glenister?

What does "not too expensive" mean to you?

"I dunno.... I just got here myself..."

Try L4DY and P!G then!! OK, lady and pig (cringing, expecting a loud noise to happen...............)

Meh, the Lima OHC has its big fanbase. We HAVE to tune them here, because the Pinto OHC motor left these shores in 1974 never to return again. So, other than specialists (like us), the landscape is pretty dried up for Pinto OHC spares. I particular, given their junkyard value, the turbo-injected Lima 2.3L is in favor with budget rodders. It's heavy. It's horribly balanced (almost no counterweights on the crank). But it's robust and dirt cheap. They can make 300 horse with turbo and some trix.

Yeah, these chicks do the job. Quite well. Proper jappo recycling, with all the requisite H&S (over here OSHA) precautions. I love this scene. Go girls! Do a proper job!

Pollitt shoulda bot this Pinto instead of the Bowel Movement. At least it could be loaned out for the remake of the "Blues Brothers", where the Pinto had its biggest moment in movie history. The 2.3L ain't a Pinto OHC. Yes it's an OHC. Yes it's in a Pinto. No, it's not a Pinto OHC. It's a Lima OHC, and not a single part (including the drain plug) interchanges with a Pinto OHC. Think the only Lima 2.3L the UK got was under the bonnet of Andy Rouse's BTCC Sierra, where he ran a 2.3L turbo for a season or two instead of the Cossie YB. Norm EDIT: Ya farking me? If I type "S-I-E-R-R-A", the site automagically transmogrifies it to "jelly mould"?

AC-DC and Zep already mentioned, as they are indispensible. I'll add ZZ Top, CCR, Steppenwolf, B52s, Rammstein, Cake (esp "Going The Distance"), War, Dylan, BTO, Travelling Wilburys, Highwaymen, Tull, Moody Blues, Dick Dale, Torquays, Blondie, got lots more, including Wagner's Ring Trilogy (drive at 3AM across The Great Salt Lake to "Flight of the Valkyrie" and you'll know).
