I'm not including the Sierra RS Cosworth, that had EFi but wasn't really a mainstream model for most people.

I seem to recall seeing a messagea few months back when Bionic Beaver did an update that support would end in a couple of years. However i first started using LInux on the previous incarnation so i've already updated once to Bionic Beaver from whatever it was before - think it was the Yakkety Yak version but can't be sure.
Yes, got me thinking, looked at pics of Capris and Cortinas and they seemed to have carbs. Think auto choke though, perhaps this made me think it was injection. Never liked Cortinas, but this late one they had put a lot of stuff right, even the handling was not bad. The door locks were not up to much. Was in Brent X car park, did shopping and came out to car opened door and thought someone had stolen some of my belongings, was not my car I entered, was a similar red Cortina 2.0 GL. Quickly locked door and went over to mine!

Put a friend on Mint about 6 years ago and it has been pretty well trouble free. Just updated his PC to latest version as support for his ran out a while back.
