DeuceCoupe Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 thats good, don't you drive very often though. I think they should be used and abused
over_head_cam Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Every day to Guildford and back from Croydon full of tools and stuff
Dom Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 My ex-girlfriend always used to moan about my car and always asked why I didn't go and get a 'normal, nice looking car' that was 'reliable'. She's burried beneath the rose bush.

mk1mexico Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 I have had osf's as everyday cars but work kinda restricts me now so i bought a ricer I been doing some crazy shift work so i just havent had the chance recently. Bloody loved it today though, got a wave off a fella in a DB9
over_head_cam Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I got tooted, waved and pointed at by a bloke in a pug or something the other day. People seem to just love OSFs
mk1mexico Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 Best one i saw was in a town called Kendal about 15 miles from me, A guy was walking arm in arm with his missus, when he snapped back his arm dropped to his knees and worshipped the pavement as i drove by She just shook her he and stood there with her arms folded Doghouse for him methinks.
RFChris Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 My MKII Capri was easily one of, if not the most reliable car i have ever owned. Bloody miss that car. Chris
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Well, I wont say to much. I personally never have any luck with batteries. All my cars have been ultra reliable, but their batteries hate me. I have even had one freeze into ice before. Totally unheard of, that's how much they hate me. But, my Capri is used everyday, Rain, Wind or Shine. Fires up first time everytime. If the battery lasts the winter, then it likes me
