Orange Capri has long gone - don't think it had any stripes on it (I was only about 3 at the time). Last Capri my father had was a black 2.8 Injection Special with LSD and Recaro seats. He kept it for six years. Changed to an XJS 4.0 straight six 5-spd manual...He has a Triumph Vitesse MK2 convertible that he has owned from new.

Beats lateral rain and -20c windchill and 120 days of rain and sh*tey weather any fricken day ! I done 6wks roughing it on the breacon beacons (welsh mountains for the aussies) in november 89. spate river crossings where the banks were 3ft deep in snow wearing 60lb+ bergen+ SLR and river temp wouldnt be much above freezing. slept in forest floor and trenches for 6wks. happy f*cking days ! And while the mountainous areas of Wales and Scotland are beautiful, They're not much fun at times ! Edited 05/07/11 12:48 AM by rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
