SAF_Capri Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Posted September 6, 2009 it was 99% a turbo, maybe just cold? ...it was the type before the VXRs, the heavy boxy type..think their 0-60mph is around 7sec... I have a Vauxhall XE

mk1mexico Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Well i had a ride up Hartside Pass in the Lakes last week ( Think of the road from the last scene in the Italian Job and your not far away)with a Brand Spanking Focus RS behind me He was still behind at the top Got a thumbs up from him too
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 I was in the lakes this weekend with the 105 Speed guys. A 2.8i capper joined the convoy. We went down a dip in the valley just before a long straight up the side of the next hill, and the capri passed the anglia behind. I'd left a massive gap between me and the next car, saw the capri still on the wrong side of the road, and booted it. No idea what speed we were doing up the hill, but the capri had to pull in behind. When we finally got to where we were going he gave us a wave.
