Retro-gone. Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 on way back from York autojumble today i got a young kid and his passenger fly past me in a modern hatchback, loud as fook and lowered to the hilt, as i was by myself and the roads were quiet i caught him up , his mate looking round and laughing, i held my hands up and shrugged my shoulders at him as if to say 'whats ya problem lad' anyway with that we came to 2 mile straight road so i dropped the capri into 3rd and floored the old girl, i thrashed her till i could almost hear the valves bouncing , i shot past the daft little c*nts and as i changed into 4th i completely left them standing , i pulled into a layby ready for them if they started mouthing off, insted they pulled in and asked the common question...'what the fook have you got under the bonnet' they admitted they thought they would piss alover me, apparently they raced an escort and left it, but that was an 1100 ! they then had a good look around the capri and had a sit in it and showed me respect for the next 15mins of the conversation, made my day that did.
mk1super Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Great feeling to think your "old" car can still waste modern day machinery
Retro-gone. Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Posted October 3, 2009 yep, but it wouldnt of done if i still had the 1600 engine in, best thing i ever did was fitting the 2.0 with kent cam, its made me realise how much i still love the old lass
caprinerd Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 right result tony, now get the thoughts about selling out your head for good you know it makes sense to keep her

JAY PS Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Wouldnt have put that speed up on a public form mate asking for a tug by the fuzz Weve all done it but dont put it up on here !
Retro-gone. Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Posted October 3, 2009 ok, ive edited it, is that better?
accord83 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Tony, Good job you hadn't a 5 speed box or you'd have gone through the sound barrier
Retro-gone. Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Posted October 3, 2009 im waiting for someone to ask ...'was you been towed by an escort
Copey Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 im waiting for someone to ask ...'was you been towed by an escort now you will get jokes about the capri bein too heavy to tow
don Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 chavtastic nice to teach the young ones a thing or two about osf
FredTransit Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Too right! Glad to hear this, shame you had to take the speed off but sadly accord83 is right, certain uniformed persons may take a dim view. I am loving it though!
EscortHeadCase Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Thats epic. Wasnt in anything oldskool but...... had two guys in a saloon civic look at me funny when i was filling up my dads RWD Gartrac Cossie Puma on saturday (looking puzzled at the 17" split rim Image Minilights its got on it) They didnt like the look of me so they pulled out of the esso wheels spinning revving the nuts off it, then whilst i paid they pulled back round and waited for me. As i pulled out they got right on my ass and followed me tight back onto the dual carriageway. Which is when i drew some courage and gave it a bootful and then proceeded at a sensible pace to leave them as they tried to keep up as i snaked down the road shitting myself..... All i can say is that you cossie boys on here must have some Big Cajones to drive something like that all the time.....
cortinamike77 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Bet there was some priceless facial expressions!! Old Skool Rulez
Noodles Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 I had that on the way to ford fair I came out the tunnel and this people carrier wanted to be were I was but I couldnt go anywhere cos of the lines on that particular stretch, anyway when they got past the passinger a doris in her 50s gave me the finger. I was hanging back for the others that where still going though the tunnel as soon as they catched up I floored it to give em what for, the expression on their face as I went tearing passed with Sarah hanging out the window calling em everything under the sun was priceless
