Well done, you're a legend. Judging by the standard of the work you've put up on this forum, I don't doubt for a second that the trophy went to the right guy.
Cheers

Ay up!
Good on yer. How nice to see a decent bloke with a decent car. Not long ago, Capris were seemingly condemned to either boy racer trash or Chest Wig Man. Whichever, they always seemed to have those poxy dice in the windscreen.
I can never make up my mind which I prefer. The Mk1's purity of looks, the facelift Mk1 with double headlights or the Mk3 which looks truly like a British muscle car.
Of course, with a V6, it is.
Capri. The car I've always promised myself and that I liked, even when in the doldrums.
If in doubt, give it a clout!
If that don't work, fetch a bigger 'ammer!
