Anita Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 Hi everyone thought i'd come and introduce myself. names Anita, and i own a 1.6 White Ford Capri Laser. I came to own it after my dad sadly passed away 5 months ago and i couldnt bear to part with it, after we already had to sell his much loved morris minor. So i took over ownership (along with my own car) i got to here about your site via Capri Power. will post some pics up very soon anita
Retro-gone. Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 Thats a sad but admirable story anita, respect to you for keeping your dads memory alive, no doubt he'd be really proud welcome to the forum Tony
Anita Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks for the welcomes. I'm sure my dad would be over the moon i've kept the Capri. first thing i did was get the front brakes sorted. they were badly warped and the Capri had terrible wheel wobble coming through the steering wheel. Don't think my dad noticed as he was used to driving a 1968 moggy minor Got a few other little things to do on her, but she's coming off the road over winter so the work can be done ready for next years shows.
lotusless Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 welcome to the site anita, so sorry for your loss. how long has the capri been in your family?
Anita Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Posted November 2, 2008 Not long, my dad bought it last january (it was advertised on here awhile ago by a chap in Blackpool) it's got distinctive white half leather recaros. reason it means so much is my dad loved it and polished it almost daily, and it was the last thing he bought. Ive always loved Capri's and have owned 2 of my own in the past, so this is definately staying put
LADY WIT Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Hello and welcome. Hope the car brings you many happy times
Anita Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Posted November 4, 2008 Cheers everyone for the warm welcome. I do love driving the Capri, had some bloke in a Zafira stop me at the lights the other day to beep and shout the Capri was lovely, that did make me smile
