Not sure what the navigator must have been thinking at this point other than, "Holy Frock, this is gunna hurt". At least they were not on their own, a WRX STi went in the same way prior to the Capri.

Yeah it's his car but his son is driving!! Would you believe it landed on its wheels after rolling when it hit the water.

Unlike the Suby WRX which as you can see did not!

Because they belong on the road going hard.

And if you push hard, occasionally you wear the consequences.

As much as I dislike seeing these get bent, it is the price you pay to see them in anger, not cooped up in a collection behind a plastic chain

Exactly, the SA factory version of a Capri. Quite a lot rarer than a run of the mill Capri.
It would be sad to see a normal Capri going over, this is a bit more traumatizing, like seeing a pristine SMP going over say........

The Afrikaaners were a bit more proactive than us, and whacked V8s in every little car they could find, yet we couldn't manage to get one in an LJ.......
