I know I had 2. But what a machine. I saw the build on TV but to see/hear it on the road today was awesome. Not sure where its kept, but must be pretty local to me.

That's a cool looking car.
Not seen the program, I will have to have a hunt for it later.
I saw some pics of the team and one guy looked familiar, but the last time I saw him he almost died flying over the alps in a home made microlight or something.
edit. Just found his name, Jimmy de Ville. His home made microlites engine cut out at almost 3000m and he crash landed breaking his leg.

Very good programme if you have petrol in your veins. They did some crazy changes to classics.
Worth the time to watch them.

I watched a few episodes a while ago but was disappointed with the lack of detail in places, so haven't bothered lately.
I had two 4 speed Capri 2.8 Injections back in the 80s and would have thought that given they were going to put a V8 into it an early model would have been a better (and cheaper) starting place - why mess with a classic 2.8i Special model with the LSD, or was it because they wanted to use the LSD? It wasn't even mentioned in the programme.
There was no mention of any changes to the brakes either - I hope they were changed as they were marginal at best on my 2.8is, so they'd be useless with more than twice the power!
Too much focus on looks and grunt with barely a mention of whether they did anything to try to keep the car on the road - new tattoos seem more important!
