No, she bought it. I have the Fiesta to play with.
She's had a 1.6 and a 2.0 before. Got the next one up now.

Well, they were under the front seat to start with. Our daughter put them back on. It's a Capri, it HAS to have them.
OK, poor mans widow maker. More than one person has said that too me, not everyone can afford Porches.
Thanks for the comments people.

Thats because they were fast. In the case of the Capri its because the handling is bad bordering on suicidal. My son had 3 of them all just as shocking.

Ours still has original stereo too, but looking at a way to put a stealth install in, amp hooked up to iPod/MP3 player, so to keep the original look.
