My Daughters bought herself a Birthday Present

1987 Rosso Red 1.6 Laser here too

I like her style and DSB is the best E89 colour IMO

Guess you will be replacing those disks soon then that they have mentioned on the MOT for years now.

Best starting pumping that pit dry

Nope, already done

Great choice and I love that colour!

I felt pretty pleased with myself when I was 20 and bought a Rover P6B 3500S in 1979!

Manual V8 loveliness, but it was way less powerful than a 23i.
Never got the appeal of those. But then I bought a new push bike aged 20. So what do I know.

It wasn't my first choice TBF, I wanted a 3 litre Capri but couldn't afford to buy one and insure it.

JPS special Capri. Now that was possibly the first car I ever spotted driving around our village as a school kid and thought.. Wow 8)

I finally got a V6 Capri when I was 25, a 2 year old Strato Silver 2.8i.

But even that wouldn't have kept up with a 23i!

She has made a most excellent choice, I wish her many happy smiles

I couldn't imagine having a car like that at that age, fantastic. I was selling cars in my late teens/early 20s, a good sales month and you got a XR3i or a XR2i to bomb about in, did bad and you got a 1.1L 3dr Escort in Tasman blue Anyway, if she needs any advice I know this really good forum

 

[Ole gits rule]

I had a Capri at that age and loved it to bits

Me too!! ‘86 Paris Blue 1600 Laser. Let’s be honest, the Zed is sooooo much better

Had a 2 tone green 2.0 Laser - looked good, drove no better than a the Cortina it was based on and yes it certainly is a far better car
