And you'll get a lot of people on here saying the same 
. Most will be biased as to what they drive. Personally I would say 200tdi for ease of maintenance, reliability and longevity of engine life but then I am biased

That's a no bad bit of cash. I do like capris but I don't know why as I'm not a fan of Fords

Far better to dump a 351 windsor in there and keep it all ford but the chevy engine is better from what I've read
I like old fords like the Torino
Broke even on it so its cool
got enough to get my big block and begin building it :/ don't have enough to complete it as I need about £2000 worth of parts from the states! Shipping is a killer nearly a grand in shipping alone so I think I may actually leave this til march when someone I know ships a big container of parts over! It'd save me nearly £700

I've never liked them either. I don't see the point in owning a car that looks almost identical to every other model by the manufacturer

if I could afford a sports car I'd buy an old Camaro SS or Chevelle, something stupid with a big V8 in it that actually makes people look
Or a Jensen intercepter

Y'know I can't name any sports cars I would buy, I don't think. I'm not a fan of impractical vehicles and am not interested in going fast lol. Though perhaps you could show me something to change my mind. Something with meat and muscle though, not one of those faggoty wee aerodynamic two seater things
