My old capri was originally from wales, had the dealer back plate on when I got it, only 41k on the clock. Unfortunately I rolled it, had a tyre blow out on a back road and lost it. Was lucky to walk away tbh...
Looks like youve had a lot of luck with the accident in your old Capri !

Id still love a black 3dr one day, that and an orange mk3 cortina with a black vinyl roof, quad round lights and something crazy under the bonnet. Not that Ive thought about it much :P x

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Moonstone would be my choice of 3dr, I miss my Moonstone Sapph and want another one, and Cortina would be mk2 for me.
What crazy thing would you have under the bonnet of your Mk3 then?

Cheers for all the comments folks
Nice, I like the 5 series, my ex has an E34 M5, nice motor (when hes not broke it).
Well obviously it would be a 'moneys no object' lotto win scenario. Id love a tuned v8 of some sort, but would be tempted to do something that hadnt been done before. Ive got a lot to learn first though, a service and basic maintenance is as far as I go at the moment x

Great to see a capri used as a daily, used my escort for about 3 weeks as my daily (astra was dead) and loved every sec of it
Where in livi do you work?

Ive used the capri as a daily pretty much since day one. I bought a mk2 polo as a winter runner this year but it let me down so ended up using the capri anyway lol. Aside from the days I couldnt move the car, driving in the snow was actually pretty good fun.
Just gutted that the car needs a wee bit tlc now, the bonnets got some rust coming through and a couple of other wee spots needing looked at. Anna helped me attack the back bumper the other week, makes such a big difference x
