omj624p Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 did he utter the immortal line.... i used to have one of those... Argh I hate that!!! There were lots of escorts made, but not that many! Everyone I ever speak to had one too, and always a Mex! I'm almost waiting for the line to crop up when listening to someone waffle on.

sab6024 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 I was filling up the Capri one day when this guy started walking around and having a look at it. Then he says to me "it's nice, what is it". I said "it's a Ford Capri Mk3" to which he replied "yeh I had one of these". So why did you ask then??
