Spotted "tejb1" in his Capri today...finally !

Post by Fordoholic Nick »

Hi all,

Well with me driving my bus up and down Muswell Hill everyday I was eventually bound to see Tom out and about in his Capri as he had told me he frequents the same patch :lol: and today was that day. It was brilliant and really made my day. What was even better was I was able to let him out of the side turning in front of my bus so I had a nice little drive down the hill right behind his simply stunning 1.6 - Tom in my excitement I hope I got this right fella, it was a GL wasn't it ? Correct me if I am wrong and need to go to specsavers !

You know what... I cant even remember if anyone was waiting at that bus stop halfway down :? but I drove past it ether way just to enjoy the view of your rear end :lol:

Funny thing is chaps, I had not met Tom before today but something just told me as soon as I seen his Capri poking out from the side turning it must surely be him so as he branched off at the bottom of the hill and stopped at lights I was able to roll past him and give him proper acknowledgement and he duly returned the same so I knew it was him.

And as for Toms Capri...WOW ! What a simply stunning car ! Gorgeous !!! Tom what is the correct name for that shade of blue as its absolutely stunning mate ?

What a splendid example of a well loved and extremely well looked after Capri. It really is a credit to Tom how lovely it is and was a great treat for me to see it as the big :D on my face confirmed this !!

Anyway that's my 'rave' over. Tom it was brilliant to finally see you and your Capri mate, Shame I could not get a picture but driving a ten tonne bus down a steep hill with passengers on board I thought it would not be very sensible to get my mobile out to take a picture :lol:

All the best now

Could have got a passenger to take the photo and send it to you by bluetooth.......

As ever, it's great to spot a Capri on the road and it's even better when it belongs to a fellow forum member. 8-)

Great to see you albeit in passing Nick! I've always kept my eyes open for any bus drivers waving round that area!

Rear end, ooh err missis! I believe the correct name for the colour is Corsican Blue, L0 is the printed code.

Hopefully see you again at some point and maybe when you're in a Capri yourself not a double decker...

(PS guys his bus isn't quite as shiny ;) )
