@JackTrade: Yeah pretty much. A finer introduction to the art of power oversteer I have yet to drive. Back in the day the boys used to leave a couple of paving slabs in the boot in an attempt to keep it all sunny side up.

@freds4hb: I am firmly in the Scott Speed fan club. Not just because I was please to see an American in F1, but also because I got the feeling he was something of a straight shooter, which is not something the delicate egos in the F1 circus like to have around. That is probably what kept him from getting another…

Ford Capri 280. The final 1038 Capris to roll down the line at Halewood in 1986 were all painted a special 'Brooklands' green, had 15" alloys and a full leather interior.

@jalopnikfan: Ah, the March 701. Steering it was like trying to sign your autograph with someone jogging your elbow. I'm not sure who said that.

@Ash78, now featuring the Tyke Hoon: Proof that it is indeed possible to direct a major Hollywood studio production while completely and utterly shit-faced.

@Maymar: I've been itching for the excuse to post this, and you Sir, have given me just that!

The old man had one of those very same ex-police Vauxhall Victor estates in the early eighties. It was fitted with the 3.3 straight six from the Cresta I believe, a special police only fitment.

Holy shit. That is a complete funk machine.
