My Old V8
Found a photo of the tuned 3.5 I used to go to Santa Pod with. This had straight through pipes with no front silencers and sounded fantastic....

the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

Re: My Old V8
Nice one fella. Good to see another one. At least a pic anyway. Would like to hear that one rev up.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: My Old V8
nice, always had a soft spot for the later capris. the brooklands and the 2.8i's. rumoured to be horrendous rustbuckets, although my first car was a D-reg Sierra and that needed constant attention on the bodywork...

Re: My Old V8
Was running two Capris, the V8 and my Brookie, and I had to choose between them 'cos I couldn't afford to keep both. The Brookie I had recently spent shitloads of money on and was the better long term keeper. The V8 stood to return a good profit and when I sold it I got more than twice what I paid for it.specks wrote:why did you get rid of it,i would give my right arm to own a nice one,and v8,sideways everywhere,ideal.

Excellent to see a Capri after all these years...
