rko66w - mk2/3 ford capri 1.6 ls
bought 28-03-07 for £695 with no tax no M.O.T, had a new steering rack and re undersealed and duck oiled from the prefious owner. I managed to find it thanks to a friend of mine. (same guy that found my first car for £30) he was reading though the local adds and found it. called me up and told me about it. i was looking for the 2.8 verson but at that price thought it'll be good to have a look at. went to have a look the next day and bought it straight away. was a lovely engine with no work needed for it and started first flick of the key.

since i was still driving about in the cavalier i got an mot and tax. went though expect that the fuses had corrosion on them stopping them from connecting o 5 min fix and out with a new mot.
picked road tax up, scrapped the chavalier and made my £30 back that i bought it for.
was happy drivign about for ages in her, learnign to get the back to step out and holding it there. (dont think this helped the engine too much.) my idea was not to learn to drift her but in the case that it does slide out i know how to control it.
after driving to and from uni at night i realised that being quite low in the car and having candles as head lights i might want to do something. went to good old "east kent componants" and picked up a set of fogs and another set of driving lights. slapped them on and wired them up.
now anytime i drove back and someone left there high beams on they got a nice little shock when i turned all of mine on. no evil at all. they didnt last very long till 3 days after easter, went to the easter thumderball run at santa pod, camped in the car in the field, went it cam e to leaving i "couldn't find the exit" so had some fun in the field, which was all just mud and water with no campers left. lol.
