Violent scenes

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

Me too.

I loved my Grandad's Humber Sceptre; unfortunately, when he passed away it went to another member of the family who let the thing rot in a field.

Triumphs in general and especially The Stag were notorious for breaking down. However, not as bad as the TR7 which, if you mentioned the word cam belt you were going to be in trouble.
All great looking cars though.

Same branded stewards (Taurus Security) at  Salford tonight and one massive jobsworth who had a word in his ear from the supervising steward.

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.

Ha! This tangent takes me back a few years to my first car (company vehicle) - a 1996 Escort LX 1.8 TD. Acceleration on it was mad (after the turbo lag) and we had it up to 130 on the M69 one night, before the limiter kicked in. I reckon it would’ve gone to 140+ without the limiter. Awesome car for a young chap around town. Brand new when I got it as well. A few early morning sausage and egg McMuffins at Heston Services soon sorted that out!! Good times

He was dressed as some kind of para military hardknock - an absolute twat

Different violence, but if anyone's interested judgment for the (refusal of leave to) appeal for one of the Cardiff supporters involved in the violent disorder in August 2017.

Here.
