Get over it. I used to think the same about the Triumph Stag.

Herald was better especially if it was a convertible with a Vitesse engine. Best car ever, fact.

The picture of the bloke aiming a slap at the lady steward is not a pleasant sight! - hopefully he will be identified and if he is a season ticket holder, he will not be seen in Villa Park for quite a few years.


But, I heard the said lady had stuck her tongue out at the guy, and then said, "Na na, na na na"!

How's a right minded gentleman supposed to react to that sort of provocation!!?

Purple convertible with a Vitesse engine, it was ace to a young me, even if for a while it only had 1st and 4th gear.

If you're going to compare a dream machine like a Capri to an Escort, you deserve to be chinned.

Depends which Escort though, does it not? Some of them were quite pokey, even pre-Cosworth.

The Capri looked the part, no doubt. When I lived in the US in the 90's, I had a Firebird Formula. That was mighty perty and was pretty rapid also. Petrol (gas) prices were somewhat lower back then.

That's all you need.  Reverse as well maybe!

But even ignoring the Escort, how in the s****ing f*** is a Herald better than a Stag?

The stag was nice though, i'm just a sucker for fins on cars.

The best thing about the Herald was the centrefold pull out artwork of it in The Eagle.  I was a young student at Margaret St School of Art and we drooled over the brilliance of the draughtsmanship.
