old school classic....vs......new school

the capri was fast and good looking.. 20 yrs ago!
the clio is good looking and fast now...but will the clio seam so ugly in 15yrs?

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

The clio will never look ugly! Just like classic cars that looked good back then.. they still do! .. if your old enough to remember them! :rasp:

 

[VeinAST]

Capri looks so butch compared to the Clio

 

[kic]

clio will be extinct in 15 years, the old phrase "dont make them like they used to" springs to mind

 

[kevin.s]

probly but they will still have us lot to love them as the capris still have their fans from back in the day.

 

[kic]

i love the old xr3i's and plan on having one some day

 

[Hazza]

Capri looks well, but the Clio looks rubbish with the dynamique grille!

Why am i a tool?....I know you've never liked me, but get real mate.

 

[mullen]

does look poo poo with the dynamique grill tbh

 

[RDH]

Because this is a thread comparing the design of old cars and newer cars, and all you can come up with how the clio looks sh*t with a dynamique grill.

You profess to know everything about clios, yet you think the holy grail of modification is an RS grill and 40 mm Apex springs. And to be honest I don't like you because 99% of the time I read your posts and then I'm angry that I've wasted a few seconds of my life on your garbage.

End of rant, bttt.

lol @ capri fast 20 yrs ago....

They were nothing compared to the more modern machinery that was about. The X flow lump, pinto and V6 lumps were outdated and slow compared to the likes of the 5 Turbo, uno turbo, Golf GTi's of the same era. The capri isnt a bad looking car i suppose but it was never quick.

 

[Pettsi]

Not bad, not bad.

I don't think there will be cars in 15yrs time

 

[kevin.s]

the capri had a twitchy arse tho which would have been fun lol

 

[karlktm]

bought it with that grill..so im assuming its had a wee bump at the front...any1 with a spare rs grill get in touch!

the capri has properly rotted through on the sills...carpet hangin out and allsorts!

 

[VeinAST]

Be worth restoring as a weekend project over a couple years?

 

[PS autoshine]

well spotted haz.i think your a tool though.constant spam,like you wanna be king of the clio scene when really you know f**k all.

Fair play and fair comment TBH. Essex Ferrari still looks mint! I drove a 1.6 lazer and loved it

 

[T110MAS]

[Bigsy]

[Tigger]

Both are really nice, but in all fairness the Clio is clean in that pic

 

[Fletcher]

I think the capri looks crap.

 

[zack40]
