Love this, the Capri from the DVD was from near me. Not long after the filming it was parked up and left to rot.

Because it was better than the rover sdi but because it was Jeremy's video he didn't want to lose so it was rigged.

It was an awesome nova. I remember back in 2000 going to a show in Belgium in convoy with it, the whine from the box was nice. Still got loads of photos of it somewhere.

Why would you handbreak it round every corner?

Shame she yanked the handbrake on every corner, doesn't show what the car could really do.

OMG, I remember watching that as a kid! Still have the video tape in the loft somewhere :D Back then I had no clue about XE's and stuff, I remember Clarkson had the Rover in BRG :D

Best bit of the GTE that you could change a clutch in 30mins without removing the gear box if only Vauxhall still made it that easy.
