Come on John.....I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Need some pics Guys.

Pleased to see there are some proper car freaks on here I was beginning to worry that you were all one women men.

Seems to be a common theme here. Most have been into Fords and or bikes.

I noticed previously that alot of Aircooled VW guys migrate to US cars

HP2 Sport, and an S1000RR

Spot on.

Love that HP2, brilliant track day warrior, or even Milton Keynes "public track"(even scraped the carbon valve cover) , its just dripping with hand made special parts, quality is excellent, carbon and titanium everywhere, even the rearsets give me a hard on

See new ZX10 Baz, gonna rule BSB and the streets this year S1000R toppled from its crown?

Yea it certainly looks good on paper but time will tell with its reliability under hard use!

I loved my ZX10R but sold it to buy the K1200R so that me and the wife could do a tour of Europe in comfort but still have a good bit of power. i did think about selling it and going for the S1000R last year but the K1200R does everything i need for the now!



Plus its a bit different looking

MoPar lounge is open to the public ..............

Nice selection.....I'm particularly partial to a Beach Buggy myself.

Perfect for Jersey

Used to have a gaff in Guernsey and it always amazed me how many top end cars were there when they have even less chance of using them properly than you guys in Jersey.

Wanna sell it yet son.............

pics seem to come out of resizer a bit small
Love Triumphs, had a '95 Daytona 1200 for ages till I broke the gearbox, Quill cans, Dynojet, 145hp @ the tyre, nice.
Get a demo ride on an S1000R, you won't believe the wheelie ability

did have a collection of capris , all gone now sold the last one about 10 years ago

My wife loved Capri's, had a few and was aiming for a 2.8i but bought a Trans Am instead

had 14 2.8i capris not at same time & a bout another 6 in parts plus a few other models , my dad had a couple in the mid eightys & got me hooked after sitting in the passanger seat as a 15/16 year old !! many times while he took off up the road bouncing it off the revlimiter sideways , & steering it by the rear wheels !!
not sure why i went into these so much as i did , as it was after i got the charger , started off with a cardinal red one , favorite colour in them , then saw a paris blue special , that just wanted a arch & a re paint , all original !! still think they are a good car , but the prices now for crap is crazy , & to think i restored & sold them 10-15 years a go for 2-3k each !!
got some pictures somewhere ,
had a mk3 79 T plate
3liter S when i was 17 venetian red & black vinyl with fish net recaros & a 4 speed

The only car i've ever made a profit on also!!

The prices haven't changed that much then because good ones still go for around the £2 - 4K mark, i sold my 2.0 S last year for £1000 (after fitting a new drivers wing) to a couple of guys from Capri Club Scotland who run a classic car garage up here, they gave it a fresh new paint job and sold it on for £2000 and they said it was one of the cleanest they had seen in a very long time!

Saying that i don't think i ever paid more than £800 back in the day for any of my Capri's and i've had a few 2.8I Specials, a mk2 3.0l S as well as a load of base models.

I think the 280's have actually come down in price a bit over the last 10 years as they used to be around £12k but you can get one now for about £7k (but thats probably because everyone now knows how over rated they were and just thrown together as end of line cars!)

The 3.0l S of the mk2 or the mk3 variation seem to have increased in value more than any of the others.

Opel Mantas on the other hand have rocketed in value, pretty much from the day after i sold my one but that's no surprise as the same thing happened when i sold my mk1 Escort Mexico, mk1 Cortina GT 2door and first mk3 Cortina!
So if i ever decide to sell my Valiant Charger get out there and buy as many as you can as they are bound to rocket in value!!!
