Hi Emily, I guess you haven't been trained as a Capri mechy, we'll soon sort that out but your customers probably wouldn't think you clueless.

For new blonde female members please post up on this page viewtopic.php?f=10&t=28905&start=120

You're in the army? Cool, I've got a lot of time for people in the armed forces. Whether or not it will be of any use...... :lol:

Someone from my part of the world!

Good to hear another person on the forum, and of course, another Capri still on the road.

Best of luck with it, you will be hooked soon! :drive:

Hi Emily and welcome to the mad house.

We're happy to help with any problems you may have or things you would like to do.

As for anything more complicated I'm sure there will be someone willing to help.

I'm not a million miles from Southampton if you need any help.


Enjoy the Capri

I prefered the green and black but it'd be a boring world if we were all the same.
