....Hmmm, If an Essex V6 'puts it out' like an Essex Girl then it must be one Hairy(..rather than Brazilian)Ride.
Note... Been in one - in Carpet Crush mode - with N.E. CapriClub rep..... many, many moons ago
Note2... also been in a 2.8i (the white one, with the engine 'photoprinted' onto the bonnet... in the days before screen printed vinyl) and the guy just wanted to drive by the 'Spanish City', in Whitley bay, playing DireStraits....'Tunnel of love' >> the song having been inspired by a ride in the funfair.
Over 250 cars turned up for the Dunton Classic Car Show today.

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
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

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.
