What a terrific shot of two gorgeous Capris!
It looks like the lacquer red twins are almost Siamese twins.
You could have got John to fit your new petrol tank while he was there.....

Re: Bit of a stand off ....
Hi all,
It’s been a while since I’ve been here, mainly thanks to Virgin, then Sky, then Virgin again, but that’s another story..... It was great to catch up with Nick yesterday, also caught up with another forum member, JeromeV6, great to meet you too fella.
Yep, was a good day and got a piece of Christmas cake from Nick & Mrs F too. The Cappa did look great parked up, even though mine is minging (well it got its first wash since early December yesterday at long last) the weather and roads have been terrible, but then on the other hand, it has given some amazing sideways action from time to time!!! but you will always come off worst when parking next to Nicks Cappa, clean (yet again) is not a good enough term anymore I think!!! Now if I can just work out a way to post more photos on here for free (thanks Fliker) I could post a good one of Nicks from yesterday.... I’m sure nick remembers bringing it out of the garage....
Anyhow, a great day was had and cheers for the comments. Paul, as Nick said, really looking forward to seeing your Cappa too, I’m only up the road from you remember.... cheers all for now,
John...

Re: Bit of a stand off ....
Thanks for your kind words John. As said always a pleasure to see both you and your stunning 2.8i Special

Hope you all like these extra pics. Was great fun taking them

Why not simply open another account on Flickr, then you're good to upload another 1000 photos for free.
You could have got them even closer...Fordoholic Nick wrote:Funny you say this Rob as this is exactly the look we were trying to create...and look see...we actually got ours closer than Bodie and Doyle
Your photos have got me thinking......perhaps we should do an arty forum cars and owners photoshoot at Brooklands.
