Had to smile

[Peter-S]

Although it turned out to be nothing too serious one of Mum's carers called an ambulance this afternoon as Mum banged her head and it was bleeding so I went over to see what was what. No major drama fortunately so I was talking to the ambulance guy as his colleague form filled and he remarked that I had a small cut on my head too. I explained it was from working on an old car which interested him. Once it was apparent that I had come over in a Capri and it was parked across the road I had to take him out for a look see, not at all what I had been expecting when I set off!

Glad your Mum was ok Peter. Your journey over to see her must have been a tad worrying not knowing what was what as you said.

Can always count on The Capri to raise interest and a smile even at the most unexpected times. Did you give him the full tour, including engine bay, or was he pushing his luck by popping over to see it while 'on duty'

What a lovely "happy ending" story Peter on both counts as glad all was ok with your Mum and glad you got to show off your great Capri too

All the best

And an old Ford is usually a good conversation starter

A quickish tour Nick. I opened the door so he could look inside. Wandered around the car and chatted about a MkII he owned many years ago then he was 'back on duty'. When he first said he wanted a look I thought he was kidding but he asked again a few minutes late so obviously keen

The best bit was telling the wife when I got back home. It was an eyes to the heaven and shake of the head moment - she doesn't fully get the interest

Hi Peter,
Glad to hear that your Mum is OK.
It just goes to show that you can come across a Capri fan in the most unexpected situations.
Not when you're at home though, by the sound of it!

Andrew.
