Do you remember the stories a few years ago about a Capri(?) that had a '666' registration & was totally unreliable & (allegedly) electrocuted mechanics with a disconetted battery, etc......???

Yes. I laughed because the Renault 11 Auto I had at the time had just made its gearbox exploed by shifting down into 1st at 80 and seizing. The Vin had 666666 in it :)

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Nothing wrong with a Capri

I'd still like a 280 Injection, or a (South African) Piranah derivative
