[Pipster007]

[BIG G]

it will look nicer than the capri in my rear veiw mirror and might be a bit tight on the lanes

[BaileyMex]

Look mean mate

[mk1super]

[marky4]

[TooAteLeed]

[MightySprocket]

cant see a cup holder in there... where you going to put your Costa

[brettp]

[sambo]

I think its gotta be the best car out there.

 

Well done John. If you ever get bored of it, give us a call and i'll take it off your hands.

FPMSL but I was wondering about where to put my coffee the other day. I seem to remember Hippie has a cycling bottle carrier hanging off his cage so me thinks thats the way forward

 

Yes, this car will be going to Spa & the Ring at Easter, driven there, caned and then driven back, no point in having it otherwise

 

Not sure about the strip, I wanted to do the strip in the capri at the CF show but the ques were just horrendous, I dont mind queing as such but not for hours and hours. I'll see how they are this year tho

 

Thanks for the kind words. I was'nt sure about how it would be recieved to be honest, it strikes me as a bit of a marmite type of car, luv or hate it. All the credit for it tho should go to Dave White for having the vision to get it built, Gary for doing all the lovely fabrication he does so well and Neil @ NTS Automotive for finishing it off with some real nice touches and making it road legal and for selling it to me

now that needs some Gulf striped on it! looks hard as fook!!!

 

Like this .. a few years back

 

 

 

 

And Jon, thanks for the mentions ... it was a fun build, which started back in 2000, when i caged it and fitted it up for sprinting,

then it got a Zetec and some arches

 

 

Then it went a bit mental ... lol

It was fitted but never ran with it. Had a zetec before that.
