Default Brooklands 280 capris, how quick?
had a bit of a mix up with one on the A38 the other night, ended up stopping for a chat and they said how shocked they were at how quick the xr2 was.! seemed about neck and neck in a straight line, left it for dead at the first sight of a corner!

looked totally mint to! fair play to the chap!

how quick are they?

not that quick, but seem a lot quicker when you're in one, as with all capris really, even a 1.6 is scary in the wrong hands
