The Hatchback

[JAR0023]

Audi S7 is my wife's current lottery car. She likes to drive cars. Doesn't spend a lot of time on the subtleties of how the look, but every time she sees and A/S7 she starts rubbernecking. -J

Nope.

Still a very successful tarmac rally weapon, that. A South African Capri with a stonking V8.

I used to have a 400HP 900SE.

oh man that could have been fatal. Going upside down into a dam was my greatest fear back in my rally days.

Here's an endless build thread of one Capri Perana Tarmac rally car
