# Sciroccos fucking rock, so anything you have planned gets my vote.

Edit: Make it over a la the police cars in RoboCop. I always liked that look. OCP logo on the side n' all.

# nice one!
I've got an '87 Scala 1.8; it's not in too bad nick but would cost waay too much to bring it back to it's former glory, so may as well just focus on making it run well!

Get you with your flash body kit n' everything!

Nice car, sir. Bloody nice car.

# I think it's been rolled at least once in it's lifetime...
. the driver's side a-frame hase been bowed-out slightly and there are scrapes accross the roof; still it runs without any probs!

# I totalled mine on the M1 going north by Scratchwood Services
Full 360 and backwards into the crash barriers.


In rush hour traffic.
Walked away with only mild whiplash. I owe my life to that car.

# Very true,
The rear end was nearly 2 foot shorter afterwards, and the wheels completely shunted, but I was still able to drive it into the services.

:'( My trusty steed.

# Thank you, mate.
Having a bit of a moment here, apologies.

I'll never forget the view through the windscreen of three lanes of oncoming traffic. Jesus, that was fucking scary.

# Love Scirrocco's...
There's a guy around where I am who has done a Mad Max Interceptor paint job on his. More suited to a Mark 2 Escort but still looks cool.

# Oooh!
That sounds rather good...

"... the last of the V12 Interceptors"

;-)

Edit: utter fucking class....

It was a Falcon. Coupe version of a family hack with a V8 used for modified street car racing, with some modern looking bits attached.

One of the film cars shows up at car shows here quite a bit.
