I went into model zone in bluewater yesterday and one of their new arrivals is a blue wide arched capri in like a solid blue colour, think its a rs3100 or something, was £69, looked pretty good. They've made so many fords now its hard keeping up with it all. Wish they'd make escort cosworths in 1/18 scale again, i dont fancy paying near on £200 for a repsol rally one like u see them for on ebay for the ut models ones.
