Odd how, if you were banned, surely you wouldn't be able to post at all?

Apologies for any distress caused Mike. In trying to auto streamline the rejection of over 200 spam membership requests a month we made an exclusion a bit too general and it affected one or two genuine users as well. Should be sorted now.
Didn't receive a message from you though.

Did you think that admin were making it a Capri owners only forum? :lol:

I was locked out a few months ago when I changed my e-mail address, and at that time the contact e-mail to admin wasn't working. It was the longest few days of my life! :D

Hi Mike,

How's life without the Capri? Noticed the Alfie registration number was up for sale the other day on ebay. I wonder if the new owner of your car will be buying it.

All the best

Hi Neil,
Great spot!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CAPRI-AL ... SwTM5YwtNw

I like the way the seller has posted six more or less identical photos of the plate on a Capri. We get the idea!

Andrew.

How many? Wow!
Does the registration process have an captcha thing to weed out the spam?

Not a reliable one. Most spam is pretty obvious - won't say how, lol! - but still needs a quick check so it's done manually. Keeps the kitchen salesmen out though!
