Went to Stanley park today in Blackpool and took some photos of the cars there.
Some really nice cars there, the one that stood out for me was a custom "one off" Ford Capri V8 with a 7.7 Litre, V8 Oldsmobile engine that had 500Bhp and was rolling roll tested at that with 572 ft lbs of Torque. (sadly it did about 10 mpg). The shell was a one piece made of Fibre-glass. And the Father and Son who built the car stated that it had cost about £30K to build it. The Son had previously worked for TVR so had a wealth of experience in Engineering. It was this car I liked better than the others since its shape reminded me so much of "mad max's" Ford Falcon V8, not only that, but when he started it up and I heard it ticking over, it sounded like it too (I was drooling at the mouth). ![]() I've uploaded the photos to my facebook account, if anyone wants any larger photos, I can upload them to my photobucket account. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...3&l=e36d2910d5 The photos are unedited and for me the only thing that spoils some of them are the captured people in the photos, but that's about it. Largely pleased with the way they came out. Here's a pic of the Capri V8, from a different website, funny enough its got Blackpool tower in the background. ![]() |
