Title: Capri siting
Post by: greywolf27030 on December 19, 2014, 07:05:58 PM

Was watching an old episode of Cops tonight and they stopped a man in a red XR2 for 80MPH in Palm Springs, CA.  He failed a FST and blew a .25.  Doesn't look good on us.     :D

Those of us that have a Capri that can do 80 mph can't afford to drink. He must have stolen it!  :)

My little red XR2 lives above 80mph on the Texas freeways.  Ans she was cheap!

When I'm happy with all my wrench turning I'll open her up. I'm getting close. So far I haven't been over 75. I'm taking her down to Florida next week. Maybe that'll be a good time. :)

 About 3 years ago, I drove mine from SoCal to Dallas and back, doing 80+. Ran great.
Had good steering feel even with old struts.
Have been in Palm Springs a few times.
I might be careful if I go back.
