Default oldskool gal

Hi, just wanted to share a few photos, of my cars, get some funny looks from guys especially when they see a lady driving a 28i capri and xr4i, not at the same time obviously.

Then you get, a pat on the back and a well done,..whats all that about??

Great stories from people on the streets, and they always make me late for work !!

so heres the 2.8i ford capri.


and heres the xr4i ford seirra


driving the seirra at the moment, capri is getting some tlc, just to keep it running sweet. old fords eh! you gotta keep on top of them.

Nice cars you have there, must admit to being a 4i fan, I had one, and my dad still has one.
Don't worry about the looks, I get odd looks at rolling road shoot outs as generally have me head stuck under the bonnet of some classic rather than the mega Ł latest car, modern cars are boring, old skool rules!!

I have equall like for both of them, and yes, i do know how to drive the arse out of the two of them, lol.
the capri ,well, i have a few photos, had a few problems with the gearbox, so thats getting sorted out, more the pressure plate, but im going to take the engine out totally and give it a clean ect.just to give it a freashen up.

i love old skool, rwd, is a pleasure to drive, especially in the wet !! and at roundabouts..lol.
thanks for the replys... my next pleasure is an escort maybe mark2. as mark1's are way past my cash supplys.
