stephens_xpack Posted September 2, 2018 Report Posted September 2, 2018 Just a few pics to show that she is used as intended. The paint on the rear tail gate is spotless, so attaching the bike rack and then the bikes took fooking ages making sure everything was completely safe and secure. Anyway, turned a few heads whilst driving through the Southwold village where we stayed and that is the main reason I drive her - I like to see the turning heads, points and smiles. Gorgeous place, if you get the weather which we managed to do. Since home from the 140 mile round trip, she has not started..... And a lame bike trick by me and the daughter, the last two pics, same spot one in 85 and one in 18, gotta be done - but no way I was sitting on the handle bars this time around..... 2
DT36 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Posted September 2, 2018 Brilliant pics. Car is looking very nice too.
colr6 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Posted September 2, 2018 I bet that camera had to have a bloody fast shutter speed to capture you on that bike of today before you fell off.....lol 1
stephens_xpack Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Posted September 2, 2018 Cheers dt36, It was a fun few days. and trying to recreate the bike pic 33 years later was great. Southwold has barely changed, so the background is still almost the same.
stephens_xpack Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Posted September 2, 2018 Col, my daughter had the camera all ready and I was like "Now, QUICK"....

You've only got to look at the body language, as a lad your so relaxed no stress on the arm, then on the recent pic the body language is oh shit I'm OFF!! Great pics though. Not many people can return to the same place with the same car so MANY years after.
stephens_xpack Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Posted September 2, 2018 Yeah, they say you don't lose it - you fooking do!! Not the same car mate, I was 14 first time round. First time I have been there in the Capri because of the carrying the bikes, much easier in a new motor as I don't really car about it. 33 is defo MANY years....

Ray Posted September 2, 2018 Report Posted September 2, 2018 told you that grey stubble makes you look like a pensioner Kellye should have used your bus pass to get there, they even take push bikes as well 1
stephens_xpack Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Posted September 2, 2018 YOU WHAT RAY, SPEAK UP MATE I CAN'T HEAR YA......... 1
VivaLaRic Posted September 9, 2018 Report Posted September 9, 2018 Nice Capri, southwold is a beautiful place with much beer 1
stephens_xpack Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Posted September 9, 2018 Cheers VivaLaRic, definitely a great place to hang out, oldy worldy, the car fitted in nicely...
stephens_xpack Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Posted June 18, 2019 An old thread, but what the hell, any excuse for a few pics....Used and not so abused this last weekend at the Classics on the sea front - Southend........Weather was kind of ok, but fooking windy, but a few nice old motors dotted about - Mine, Munches and Munches car fwiend.....who parked next door..... 2
stephens_xpack Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Posted June 26, 2019 Just a few more pics from the local Rochford Lawns show Sunday just gone, just to show still being used and abused. Well attended and bigger/better than I had thought it would be, actually pretty cool show. A few Fords and a few non-Ford pics. Hopefully next year we will join you all again for the TOTM 2020.. 1
Monza Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 Nice mix of cars.....great pics Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
stephens_xpack Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Posted September 10, 2019 No camping this time, well maybe the way I was walking, but Crappa definitely being used and abused as intended still, for the moment anyway. Dunton last weekend, for the Capri 50th and at Brooklands this weekend for the same thing, not often you get 260 and 290 Crappies all together for two big gathering. Was great weather and a couple of fun weekends....some random pics from Brookie, even some oldskool aviation.... Obviously all Crapi, so if not for you then do one.... 4
stephens_xpack Posted November 16, 2024 Author Report Posted November 16, 2024 (edited) More used as intended. Not as much as I should, but a stop off on way back from NEC 2024, shiney rims. And a long time since my last post....😂 Edited November 16, 2024 by stephens_xpack 2 1
Vista Estate Posted November 18, 2024 Report Posted November 18, 2024 How much oil did you put in Kellye? I know Shell shares went through the roof the next day 🤣 It was great to see the bag of bolts and the Capri on the OSF stand at the NEC Classic Car Show 2024. 🤟 We did the club proud I think. Now get on with that bloody engine build so we can see you on stand in 2025 mate.
stephens_xpack Posted November 18, 2024 Author Report Posted November 18, 2024 Engine build, did you say 2025 or 2035?...😂🤷♂️
