Never really a big fan of the Capri, much preferred the MKI and MKII Escorts. Having said that the memories of them are probably better than the reality, I honestly don’t think we’d swap back to the old cars if we had to live with them on a daily basis….Pagan
Obviously our more modern cars are better and easier to live but it is the small things about our old cars that we can think back to. I also liked the MKI and MKII Escorts, but it was probably a fault with the Capri that made me love it so much. Many people used to drive around with a bag of sand or cement in the boot because it was so skittish, but that is what I loved about it, you could get the back to step out at will, two years of regularly taking that sideway improved my driving skills no end.
Pax, capris were terribly tail happy, and judging by your car history it put you off rear wheel drive cars, yeah I know it’s only mainly BMWs that are that configuration now.
The other thing that has changed is 24/7 shopping and CCTV, you can’t twat about in the snow on a car park anymore, which is a great shame….Pagan
Paxman, now’s your chance to repay him for bringing you up, your mum is the most important woman in your life, so it will be tough on him all you can do is be there for him…..Pagan
