If you've even done any of the East Riding meets you might know my car actually, I bought it off Alan Wattam, it used to live just outside Hull.

Good. Just scraped my escort through another MOT. I really would like to get myself a capri, just worried about keeping it on the street. And I need to get a summer job to rustle up some money.

Cheers Hugh that does help

think i may have to join Capri Club International... been putting off the expense, but i really have no excuse.

Nowhere near York, although I did buy my Capri in Sheffield (Spurr Classics). She now lives down South with me in Surrey.

It had been 6 years since I last owned a Capri and the itch to get another just wouldn't go away. I was a bit worried it'd seem ancient compared to my 300ZX, but after a couple of weeks I've adjusted back into driving an "old" car. It's just sooooooooooo much fun. I'm off to Goodwood with her on Sunday, despite the day being for supercars. Well, she's a super car to me

Enjoy yours.

Ahhh bp mcEsso Shell Love Me...

... it's such nice weather, i just can't help going for blasts accross the moors all the time.

Thats kinda why i posted this thread, because if there is one thing that is more fun than a blast over the moors in my capri, it's a blast over the moors in my capri, with a load of other capri's.

Agreed, doesnt even have to be other Capri's, just anything nice that can keep up/you can keep up with

Had a superb drive down to Goodwood this morning (the only Capri there!). Our convoy consisted of no less than a Diablo, Ultima, AC Cobra, TVR Tamora, 2 TVR Tuscans, Fiat Coupe and a Z3. The Capri held it's own
