Fantastic!!!

#1 Post by Dolomite16V » Fri Dec 09, 2005 7:19 pm

Just been watching "The Professionals", white Dolomite Sprint - POK 97 R being driven in anger a fantastic spectacle. Also a ropey looking blue TR7 fhc lurching all over the place, completely outclassed by the Sprint, IMHO.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":b"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Interesting website. It's a shame BL was in such a mess at the time and lost the contract to Ford. I makes you wonder what could have been if their fortunes were different. I imagine a whole generation grew up aspiring to the Capri 3.0S having seen it powersliding about on the show.

Everyone new it was a piece of badly engineered badly made dagenham tat...<br>

Far more Sprints survive as a proportion of those produced...<br>

great show, wife doesn't like it though.<br>
<br>
That, the Sweeney and now minder are my only reason for watching M+M really.<br>
<br>
Still have yet to see any episodes with a Sprint or even a TR7 in them yet.<br>
<br>
They couldn't make that show now all modern cars handle too well, can't see them driving around in a Mondeo can you?

I find it really entertaining watching shows like the Sweeney and the Professionals just for the old car chases - and the politically incorrect attitude of course<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Just saw an episode of the Sweeney where a MK1 escort was being hotly pursued by a Rover P6 v8 - loads of body roll and tyre smoke!!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Tremendous fun

Just read the link, my old P6 V8S was Mexico Brown and looked the same colour......<br>
Still watching to see the Sprint though!
