yes mate, just stay about 8/10 miles outside city centre, to be honest i hate centre of town, just getting like london.. id rather travel 20/30 mile north or south to work rather than head into town.

That's a dubious point in my house Tom. The Mrs. is adamant that Northampton and above is "up north", but she's from London, so doesn't know any better.

Hello everyone,

I'm Nic and I come from Henley On Thames. Looking for a 1.6 MK3 at the moment. The Capri is my dream car and will hopefully soon be my very first car. :)
