All rare cars,nice to see them together.Yours sits nicely on the slot alloys . MK2 Capri's are pretty thin on the ground,I probably see a fair amount of MK1's and especially Mk3's at shows but MK2's not at all.I've never been a big Vauxhall fan generally,but the Firenza has good lines on it and the 'droop snoot' front end is pretty iconic.I had a neighbour years back with a Vauxhall Magnum 2300.It was finished in a metallic type green with a black vinyl roof,and sort of Rostyle-type wheels and always thought it looked pretty cool,aggressive looking double headlight front end and a dash with many gauges,battery status,all sorts.Coming from a world of base Escorts back then with no extras,a dash like that was pretty wicked.My friends sister had a Viva 1300S in a copper-ish colour with a cream vinyl roof and a similar dash.Was horribly unreliable but had the double headlight arrangement and the dash looked smart .Still remember the plate,RDY 970S. Long gone now probably.

Our little lineup at RunningRetros day last Sunday

That is an unusual water feature I was out today,Headcorn Aerodrome.Similar kind of thing,absolutely everything you could think of in attendance.I was in the top section of the field,the site was rammed with cars.Its a big old area as you can imagine being an aerodrome with a runway.Bonus was the twin cockpit Spitfire was there again taking people up for very expensive rides,and the biplane stunt team doing their thing too so lots to look at. I was down to one CCUK flyer in CJN,so I got that Gen5 'vert with it.

I had a JDM Gen5 GT-R for a short while,with TEMS suspension and 4WS.Reversing from an angle and down my drive was better with the 4WS in the locked position,first few times I was oversteering and wasn't exactly going in a dead straight line once on the drive with the 4WS on .It is odd. You had the turning circle of a London taxi though!

That 5 vert is a brilliant colour,by the way.

Celicas like yours are a rarity,you should absolutely feel comfortable bringing it along to a meet or show.This is a proper club,on a proper forum,no petty social media style judgement going on in here .I've been here since 2009,I've never heard anyone at any gathering of ours voice an opinion that any car 'shouldn't' be in the group because they're not good enough.First meet I got my car to it had no front splitter,rusty arches and a grey front wing I didnt care an neither did anyone else,was just glad it made it

Silverstone 2025:

Great hair Even better colour (the car)

I read that pretty regularly,Fuzz is a regular contributor so I'm going to grab a copy.

Yeah,was a shame was only a fleeting shot,I kind of assumed they would do the usual and take a trip in the 'feature' car as normal.Still I suppose Tim wasn't too bothered getting a ride with Mr Grist though

Usually a good reason why the car hasn't been done. Been a couple where the owner didnt survive long enough to see their car completed,which is sad.

got Nat Geo,looks like i'll be able to watch tonight as wont leave for work til 9:20,result.I have a series link set up anyway I'm on Virgin,it depends on the package you have on there as well.Great work done Sheila,love a bit of cloak and dagger

That's some good news for once.I hope it was returned in the condition it was before the scumbags got it,looks a nice example

Just found this at Caffeine & Machine from 2019 or 2020.Not strictly per this threads rules but as its so nice I thought you might like it Sheila.

I do remember taking my first ST205 out in heavy snow ,it was darn good fun.Shouldn't gloat at others misfortune but at the time there was something more than a little satisfying taking a 20 + year old car out doing easy 4 wheel drifts when there were loads of 'lesser' cars (think new RWD auto BMW's Mercs etc) abandoned everywhere throughout Kent But yeah would make some great photo opportunities!

Not mine you won't

Same here!

For a fiver too,I bet you snatched that up! Yes Meirion's GT4 has a lot of provenance attached to it,with the pack and the Clarkson Top Gear feature

Great pic that Kev.Bloody love your car,but you know this already

Makes a change from the 'pretty' shots eh

Go!Japan Brands Hatch today.
