it's got a ric wood engine - me too! ....although i think that is a slightly better spec!

Have you gone off the Ferrari grey mate?

Nice one mate - top news! You taught him a valuable life lesson!

Well thats a pain in the arse - cant leave bad feeback if someone mess' you about? Somebody else will just start one up - hopefully they will take less of a % of your money too

That's ace Ken!

always something.....

Not driven my Capri since November. Been trying to keep her out of the nasty weather and ive been laid up for a while too.... Well, put in a nice new battery and after 3 try's (as usual) started, i tell ya, i'd forgotten how good it sounds!

All the coolest people are in purple

All this going on is well rubbish - puts you on a right bad do. Hope it was nothing sinister pal.

Wow!

"Maverick! Your ego's writing checks your body can't cash!" "You screw up just this much; you'll be flying cargo planes full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!" Ive watched Top Gun too man times!

Capri did well in touring car didnt it?

As people of said this is getting silly. Must be stolen to order - everyone needs to be on the lookout! Feel for you pal, hope you get it sorted soon!

devasting.......for what its worth i'll keep a look out up here.

Welcome

I must confess i have the Dixie horn from Dukes of Hazzard It's really entertaining!

Have a few days away from it like you said mate. No point forcing yourself and not doing the best job - you will only re do it again! Dave

Poor bastard I really hope he gets it back. Not even safe in a garage - what the hell are you supposed to do?

Congratulations on the award Team Blitz!

well played sir

no mate im at home - i was only in hospital for 2 days at the end of Jan, got used to it, the foods ace! Im alright, just cant really do much. Just been told to keep going on walks and build up the mileage each day - most exercise ive had in a year! It's very kind of you Ken to offer to take my car for gentle drive but i think i'll leave it tucked up safe and sound, your a funny barsteward! Hows the new project coming?

My legs are a bit wrong mate - they have had me in a few times to try and fix it (3rd time now). They basically have a rummage around and try and put it right. Takes a few weeks to recover and im not allowed to lift anything or do anything too strenuious - like an emergency stop till they say so. The Capri is suffering though - bloody batttery has gone!

Think i saw a photoshop version of a modern Capri on here a while back - i have to say that i really liked it. As was said earlier in the thread it was done really well with the new Mini, of course it wont be the same but i have no problem with retro looking modern cars. Just look at the new wave of retro looking American muscle cars - they look amazing!

I would mate but im a bit banged up, not allowed to drive till the doc says so

Before i got mine rebuilt i used to take it to Superwest (Urmston, Manchester) - top blokes. But Ric Wood built my engine so it goes to him at Whitegate garages in Stockport. He put it together so i trust him and i know that he will do a good job and not let some snotty nose git go tear arseing round in it on his dinner! If i took it somewhere and they had been letting any Tom, Dick or Harry have a go i would have introduced the guy in charge to my right fist - complete piss take, abusing your car. Not on.
