Not the one I passed my test in 1500cc though

I had a white 2 litre laser (known as the shed), took out the spare wheel and poured 2 yards of concrete in the boot, very hard to get sideways then. Until the tyre well rotted and dropped off leaving the concrete exposed!

EDIT: Always called them CRAPI for some odd reason

I have a dislike of Fords (even worse than my dislike of Vauxhall/Opel!) based on the fact I invariably crash them

The Avenger was (imo) an under rated alternative to the escort.had 2 of them,they ciuld be made to go/handle quite well with a bit of work.
3 litre Capri imo was a very over rated car.not that quick and handled like a barge.

Saw the light after the capri brought me 1 st VX a cav coupe 1900 (wanabee manta )

I must admit I liked the Granada's, remember my Dad's mate having one, it seemed so comfy and spacious. But didn't like the Scorpio one really

Reality is that there were some limitations in those years in my country..

These were very rare and was nearly a 5 home  price compared to today.
