So nice to see a bloke who shares the same passion and has an amazing car but is so down to earth. Will be nice to see the OG one back on the street too.
Jeepers great interview guys I tell you what put a 86 CR80 in the corner of that man shed and he would have been a man after my own heart entirely again love this interview cheers guys❤
When i was 18 my mate bought an original Capri GT V6, straight with no rust. Bonnet hump and all for $375 off a little old lady. That was around 1984 and none of us thought there was any big deal going on at the time.
You can engineer anything you want except for the blower out the bonnet, you just gotta do it right and follow the rules. Obviously I’ve never seen his engineers report but given how old the car is and the resources he’s put in to it I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if the blower was the only thing not legal. And if you pay attention he actually mentions that in the video, he makes the comment of doing drab week but taking the blower off between tracks, so it leads me to believe that may indeed be how it is.
@@robertmason2076 ,, you cant really engineer everything, there are the basic ADR 's that he has to comply with, , at a quick look, there is no heater box , fail, roll cage and harness, fail, ,,, and let's be honest, who wants to pull a blower on and off ? I have no issue with the build, just the bs that its street legal, ,,most cops will book you for an air pod , how long do you think highway patrol will spend looking at it b4 they start writing ?
I’ve been going to the Nats since 1993 (when I was 15) and it’s not really a Summernats unless MINCER is cutting laps :) This year is my 30th Nats and I’m stoked that the Capri will be there 👍🏻👍🏻
I still remember my first time at Summernats and this car literally broke my ears and made my eyes water all In one second of him hitting the throttle on Main Street
I'm from the US, so I consider almost anything a street car, but when the only fuel is methanol you lost me. Regardless it's more street in the chassis than most 👍
I've got a mincer story from way back you boys will love this. This one time I was grinding up some steak in my mincer accidentally got one of my nuts stuck in it! But yeah we had alot of good times with that mincer over the years. Pure muscle.
Because “street legal” does not mean the cat becomes an efficient commuter car to be driven far distances. Street legal means able to be legally driven on public roads.
@@luckymanham302 he or you can call it street legal as much as u want, would like to read the ADR rule book that defines what is legal and what is not, ? I can see 1/6 fails straight off the bat, dont be misinformed , Alcohol is legal, but driving pissed isnt,,,clear enuff
@@luckymanham302 there is no way that car is street legal, regardless of who did the pink slip, ( that person will lose their A.I..S license) maybe you need to read the ADR , I read of banging on about the term street legal,,,,
I was hoping to see Australia's toughest ever street car. I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. This is old hat lets be honest. Bold claim.
Perhaps we need to define what toughest ever could be so there's no confusion. I don't think this is the pinnacle. I'm not trying to talk it down. I have appreciation for it. More likely whoever titled the vid is trying to maximise views 👍.
MINCER URBAN DICTIONARY How don’t u know about this? Love the car and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with being gay however I wouldn’t be advertising it as it should be about the car! Not your sexuality
One of the OG’s of the streets.
Absolute legend of a bloke and most iconic car.
Absolute animal of a Capri
Good to see my old Summernats footage still being useful for videos like this. Car and owner were legends even back then.
good to see some cheese sauce added to my cauliflower tonight, the lamb chops were also on point.
So nice to see a bloke who shares the same passion and has an amazing car but is so down to earth. Will be nice to see the OG one back on the street too.
Absolute legend! Bro should open a display. So much cool shit. Absolute legendary bloke.
You are the King brother , the sound of that blower is amazing. Much love from Perth 🇦🇺
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
Best Capri Ever. 1st saw it at Nats 11. Great car and a great bloke too.
The old clip at summernats before they flipped the pad brought back so many memories
Beautiful car. And super kool guy. Australia is a beautiful country and the people there are genuine and very friendly and humble
Great bloke, great cars, and awesome BMX collection, the MOROSO stuff hidden away just blows me away. Thanks guys for sharing.
I met tristan and got photos of my daughter and me sitting in this car when he brought it to nz a few years back...top bloke!!
What a beast. One year I'll get down there with my car.
I remember the blue Capri he was talking about from years ago at summernats. Unreal burnouts back then. MINCER is awesome well done.
Great content team wish I was able to make the nats this year.. keep up the super cool work Summernats team and Jbens maad👌🔥💪🇦🇺
No shoes no worries, what a legend
Your neighbours must love you 😆
Sweet ride bro!

One of the Best Blokes around.
Met him through Jason Hoctor many Moons ago at Summernats 10 when we were all Pups.

Who ever does the pink slip on this thing must be a really good mate of Tristan's with balls of steel
And lies through their teeth,, great car ,but not street legal by any meens

Good back story of a legend
"We know it does six ninety's...".
🤯
LEGENDARY!
🏆
Great video guys, looks like you have a few more sets of Moroso covers then me 👌
Does that word have the same meaning in Australia as the UK?
Nope, they speak English, not Australian.
I do wonder if anybody has ever asked him, or propositioned him over it....
Yes "Street" car has the same meaning in the UK as in Australia 😂😂😂😂
Iconic car
💯
Best car mag on the planet 👌 🙌
Its stepping up for your mate when he's in a fight!
VERY nice bmx collection!
Love the old 'PK Ripper'.
Is the other capri Tony Carlinos old car?
We should all have street cars like that nice
Tristan seems like he's just a down to earth champ. Reminds me of Pete Grmusa.
I've got a mincer story from way back you boys will love this. This one time I was grinding up some steak in my mincer accidentally got one of my nuts stuck in it! But yeah we had alot of good times with that mincer over the years. Pure muscle.
Original OG not much of us left top bloke everyone knows mincer that ford Capri is a monster
6.9s in the 1/4 ?
Turbo Barra in the other capri ?
Love the car... didnt realise there is actually 2 of them.
Love the Mincer though It’s the Hadfields old escort for me.
Is Sicko similar to this re Streetcar
Fully Sic Mate! 🤘🤘🤘👍
Guy clearly hates bonnets. Love the mincer
Such a brutal car def one to keep ya on ur toes 😂
I love you got the old one from the bible that's what called the trading post 😂
Ripping donuts at North beach all weekend.
Then you guys would rock up late at night doing a lap of north/south beach 😁
(Even @;Kembla Grange)👊💪🙌.
No way this is a street car by any means - would get defected as soon as the cops spotted it especially when you can't see out the front windscreen
Top bloke and cars
If it so street legal let's see him drive it from Sydney to Canberra
Your statement is silly.
@@luckymanham302 How is it silly ? If its street legal ,which he claims it is, he should make it easy, , if you have nothing to add, say nothing
Because “street legal” does not mean the cat becomes an efficient commuter car to be driven far distances. Street legal means able to be legally driven on public roads.

If he’s married she’s a keeper!! Definitely a big kid 👍
My mum told me he tells stories that its a street car and his nose is growing like picnoco and he drives it on the road unregistered
Wow old school BMX cool
For a street car I would have used a small block, e.g the 289, with twin turbos.
i need to move from vic to nsw..
We just need a slightly lowered car on rims for the cops to pull you over and start picking on every little thing
The moroso mincer 👌🏼
Tow vehicle needs to be green as well 👌
Keep on keeping on man - fxxk electric
The Question is could he run with the Street Outlaws
Bring back the Thirlmere Fryers!!
Definitely not any form of street car. But a sweet deal nonetheless.
Yet it IS street registered and street driven.
@@aussieausdeutschland4245 lol
@@aussieausdeutschland4245,not street legal by any meens, youd have to be a mincer to think it is
Where’s the legendary AU T.O….
OG💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Didn’t realise oz got the capri
This bloke should be in charge of climate change!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Outstanding cars!
A credit to all involved!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mincer means something very different in the UK
Good but bad = awesome.
I had a capri in my twenties....
That cannot be a street car. The supercharger obstructs visibility too much.
where's the gas station?
Inside the garage 😂
❤
Obviously the big man has a set of mitts, but Christ look at the hands/guns on our man. Clearly never worked a day in his life. 😂
capri one of the best looking ford cars of all time...
bro what are up with these profile picture
In the UK a mincer is a poof tear…😂😂😂
What does that even mean?
Thats not a "STREET CAR"...!!!
Tristan speaks of defects, but realistically his car, and generally track cars, way safer than your run of the mill daily 🤷♂
I was hoping to see Australia's toughest ever street car. I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. This is old hat lets be honest. Bold claim.

En france c est une ford Capri. Le plus gros moteur qui existe c est un v6😅 la sa doit souffler
I'd bet $100 that is no 6 sec car. The wheel base is way too short for proper traction
We'll take that bet. Where would you like to send the $100?
