In a word . . . . WOW!
I am looking forward to your next conversion. "The Latest" is outstanding, both conception and implementation. Great job!
Can't wait to see the next one.

Nice work. I love those Capris too and to me the Fly cars are the best looks wise. I too have a pair of Fly Capri's sporting Slot.it pods. In my case, I used inline pods with the side blank out plate (where the sidewinder motor would fit) trimmed off. The trimmed inline pods left plenty of room to fit the pod. I like to drive my modified Fly Capri's better than the Racer version that I also have. They all run similar times on my wood track. The Fly cars are much easier to drive than the angle drive, Flat Six powered Racer.

They are great looking Capris all 3 of them & also love your conversion on the Jagermeister version , I own 2 Fly Capris 1 is standard
same colour scheme as your 2nd one & the other is a rear motored inline with a Ninco motor & my own paint scheme I like them
both & they run just fine on my Scalextric Sport track with no magnets hope you are doing some more

Took the "FrankenCapri" to the track last night and it was great! To get some Capri-perspective I took a couple of other Capris as well: the Pentosin liveried Fly Racing Capri and my very quick JPS Racer Sideways Capri. Lap times were as follows:
Fly Racing Pentosin Capri: 7.729 seconds
Racer JPS Capri: 7.626 seconds
Jagermeister "Genetically Modified" Capri: 7.659 seconds
To say I am satisfied would be a great understatement. The car is quiet, smooth, quick and handles extremely well. This lap time puts it in the top 25% of all the cars for which I have lap times on Luf's latest Targa.
To quote Hannibal Smith: "I love it when a plan comes together!"

Great looking cars and I really like the mods you've done. This is still one of my all-time favorite Fly cars. Great looking and fun to drive.
Thanks for sharing!
