Do you remember when Top Gear did an article about the indestructible qualities of the Toyota Hilux which included driving it head on into a tree, drowning it in the sea, hitting it with a wrecking ball, blowing it up, dropping it from the air, torching it and driving it into a Volcano? (I think it's still about and still runs?) Its at Beaulieu museum. I doubt it has been started in many years, all of those show cars have been left to rust into the ground

	Ill be there Sat and Sunday will be on the Capri Power stand. Great show, IMHO best show of the year especially for an old ford lover. Lots of autojumble as well, which is always a bonus. CapriJake

I think this Spring one was smaller this year than last. The summer one, in September is bigger Its a good day out, especially if youve never seen the museum. I didnt spend much even though i had a pocket full of money itching to spend.

	I was thinking P100 when this thread opened. But I'm not sure it does. Even tho its a variant of a car it has a different chassis/rear suspension and seperate bed rather than single body design. Intresting discussion the Definition (From Wiki) "usually two-wheel-drive, traditionally passenger vehicles with a cargo tray in the rear integrated with the passenger body; as opposed to a pickup whose cargo tray is not integrated with the passenger body" So i think a P100 should be defined as a pickup rather than a ute Heres a modified Capri ute? pickup? who knows.

	Quite a few of the same models around however i believe my 1978 2.0S mk3 Capri may be the only 2 Litre sport from 1978 still around, certainly the only one to be used as a daily driver! Its one of the first mk3s made. Even has a left over mk2 shell

	I went to Texas driving around the country, stumbled upon this. Had LOTS of no trespassing signs so I didn't get much closer. These Texans like their guns .... Somewhere between 50 - 150 miles outside of Dallas. I don't think i could find it again without checking photo GPS locations. Thought it was a very odd collection This one out front was for sale, looked pretty rough around the edges tho. Hope it doesn't restore them to this standard. Think it was listed for about $3,500

Some of my Pics Thought this was cool, Porsche spoiler. Wasn't able to see what engine it had didn't mention it just 'RUNS GOOD' $4,800 Big old Tunnel ram, for the Capri V8 project I'm planning down the line. I loved this Ecoline, never seen a pickup one before. My friends though i was crazy as a practially ran over to it. Had a chat with the guy in the background selling this. He had another 4 so didn't need this one anymore .... Told me he would chop it in half so i could get it into a container, he had friends who did a season in Europe in one, chopped it and welded it backup in Europe and then did 200mph the next day ..... Would love a set of these in the garden. Genuinely almost bought this for $1,400 would have parked it up in a friends land until i could find a place for it at home. These seemed cheap to me, maybe too cheap as they were sold 3 hours into the 3 day Swap meet Not for sale .... Well Maybe .... A Cart you can drag .... Get it? What the hell was a Frog eye sprite doing here? Well part of it. BIG RIG! Practise your Mouth to Mouth anyone?
