I’ve heard of the “Glorious 12th”, but could anyone tell me when the season starts for performing children in the Highlands and I’ll be straight up there with a twelve-bore.

Mid December probably just in time for Nativities. Although you may want to go the Charlie Crocker route and use a machine gun.

Jackie Stewart was a Good ambassador for the V6 Capris and Goodyear NCT Tyres i remember certainly enjoyed my V6's.

if only we could turn the clock back, have you noticed how much a decent 2.8 or brooklands is now worth, seem to have shot up over the last 3/4 years

I certainly enjoyed my 2.8i back in the late 80's and early 90's but not that much mate.

I never cease to be amazed at the auction price of some classics, and £60k for a Capri is just bonkers. Surely it will all end in tears.
