    big old peice of shit..... the 2l 16v turbo wipes the flor wiht them... plus there wider than a small block v8.. waste of time.. hence they never sold many.

    anyway back on topic please

    my son made me reload the 2 photos, after he edited them :rolleyes:

    i shot them on my sony compact camera on auto, and the snow looked blue lol...

    anyway now the snows white, and the pics arent as dark, apparently theyre still not perfect, but he said they'll do :hmm:

    my old man had a vulcan 2.1 pinto with weber 48`s on it in his westfield kit car. had it dyno`d somewhere in castleford at 196bhp! was a tad thirsty though.....

    yeahh nice one :cool:


    mines vulcan's 165bhp version with weber 45's, less peak horse power but more torque,
    which is handy as a capri weighs about twice the weight of a westfield :)

    A lad named Louie in the village had the original Osselli 3.1 developement Capri

    That was a true beast in every sense. Not seen him or the car for a few years now but he used to piss about in the snow and it was dfficult to even GET in a straight line
