whooliganUK Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Moved back to the UK after living in Australia for near on 40 years....Great place but new opportunities brought me back and loving the "improved" weather that climate change has brought with it. Managed to ship one on my collection out with me so far, my Aussie GT V6 Capri. Can't wait to get it out again as it's been laid up in storage since 2015. Re-commissioned before shipping it out with a test run of 950 miles to Canberra from Melbourne and back before 5 months in a boat and garage waiting for the UK registration process. Will be out for the Classic Ford Show in June so come over and say G'day. 5
Vista Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Nice, who will you be showing it with at Classic Ford Show? Plenty of space on our stand. Welcome back to Blighty!
Munch Posted April 2, 2019 Report Posted April 2, 2019 Wow, not a move that most of us Brits can understand, but welcome back. What other goodies have you got to bring over then?
Monza Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 Looks like a smart Capri. Will look it up in the CF show.Welcome back to blighty mate Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Welcome back to Blighty! I'm just going to turn up, not a big club person anymore as too many pedantic people telling me what's wrong with my car.

I've got another 6 cars over there, Escorts Etc. Interested?

They’re usually the people who’ve just turned up in their company Skoda and couldn’t fit a light bulb bulb never mind produce car. 1
Rich T Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 I agree with Col. Just brush it off and be proud of your car. Id show it if it were mine

They'll always be about and always have an opinion. But its just their opinion and I can bet you pound to a penny you'll get way more people admiring your car....whether built or bought!!Bring the Capri to CF and put it on the OSF stand with the rest of us.Just my opinion!!!

whooliganUK Posted April 4, 2019 Author Report Posted April 4, 2019 I have 3 Capris, 2 Escort vans and an aussie 4dr Rs2000....If I can't sell them in Australia, they will be coming over here. 1
stephens_xpack Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 Very nice mate, as others have said - stuff people and their opinions, most who walk around old cars picking them apart don't actually have one of their own, mostly jealousy. The OSF mob are pretty cool, not a lot of snobbery here. Cracking choice of old Ford, do love a Capri.....

stephens_xpack Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 Very slick Ra, you should see the front of the mk2 RS with the dodgy seats, covered in the stuff - lucky it's black..... 2
