That is ugly. They were quite tail happy untuned, what would it have been like with silly power?

JC man...
Capri? Ugly? noooo
And where else are you gonna get your tax free 400+ bhp from?
.. unless you own this and would like a 9l V8 with 2000+bhp from a Vauxhall Victor

And what use is 400+ BHP in a car that handles like a blancmange and has brakes the size of coasters. There is such a thing as too much power.
The car I pictured was a Jensen FF. It had 325BHP going through all 4 wheels. Bet it sounded better than your Crapi (go
here to hear it).

Getting a little philosophical JC, but what constitutes a car?
I could just go ahead and buy a Capri, then stick the oily bits off a Gallardo in there. Hell why don't I do the interior as well?
And don't say buy a Gallardo.. you'd need to pay Mr Tax Man's gaylord road tax. (no offence to homosexuals.
)

Well anyway i don't really care, I would happily own one and not give a toss what people think....that is not chavvy they are both modded tastefully and subtly...I really don't know how you can call the second one chavvy as it has genune ford bodykit which is just off different spec models....except the bonnet and splitter
Umm, anybody who drives anything older than the current or next Fiesta, or possibly even the one before the current model (I can't be arsed to look up Marks
) tends to look chavvy, or at least any young person driving one. Their about as tastefully done as placing a dog poo onto a fake gold plate in a 'Chavs Announomous' meeting.
BUT, thats just my opinion! Personally I can't stand chavs or anything even a bit chav like, so I'm naturally going to say stuff like that
So what do you drive daedalus......
Thought you'd never ask
I saved, and I saved, and I made what I thought was the right choice (after having spent 2 years driving a 1997 'jade green' Vauxhall Astra 1.4i Merit lol
), and bought this............
Mark 4 Golf GTi - 2.0L and pretty damm nippy lol
It's not as quick as the 1.8L Turbo, as they get far more BHP, but whats funny is, mine's only 115BHP, and my friend has a 2.5L 190BHP Mondeo ST24 Mark 2, and he struggles to overtake me, because mines much lighter and nippier
Either way, I love it, and whats more, I love the fact I can whip the sh*t out of chavs in their little Corsa's and Nova's and Fiesta's etc that are pimped out to look like some kind of cheap-arsed supercar, only to find out behind all those big exhausts they've got some pissing piddly little 1.1L engine. Especially seeing as mine is as discreet looking as GTi's come, they don't expect me to go flying past them
Anyway, love it to bits, only problem is it tops out at 36MPG
Plus tax is £180 a year. Insurance isn't so bad though, only £410 this year, for me, fully comp and everything. This is why it pays to take the plunge and pay for your insurance YOURSELF boys and girls, it pays off when you turn 21

Looks nice actually.....at least its a 3 door
and i'm liking the plate
I reckon you should just lower it on some of those big VW/audi tt alloys with lots of spokes......and take the GTI badge off for sleeper style
About the overtaking fiesta comment, i think you would meet your match their as they both have had 130bhp 2.0l silvertop engines put in and they weigh literally nothing...
I like them anyway but i do have a berghaus coat
and about insurance.....it may have paid for most people.....but theres no way my parents and me are gonna find 3 grand as opposed to 1600 on their policy
