John's Inspection and Injection !
So John knew I was down at the garage yesterday evening (Sat) so he decided to pop round to say hello and have a peek at the work I had done to B112. Great to see him but wow his Special really is looking simply stunning after the work he had done. Still cannot get over the paintwork which is absolutely amazing. See for yourselves....
Great to see you John

Re: John's Inspection and Injection !
I agree, John's car looks superb.
Now John is almost obliged to do more than chuck the occasional bucket of water over it to keep the car looking so good!
I trust your car met with John's approval too?

Andy it really does look even better than it did before. Fantastic shine to it ! Iandyd wrote:Looks great, and as if it's had a new paint job
Well Andrew, just between you and me I have very good reason to believe his new fuel tank may well be part of his regular cleaning programme now !! Hmmm....the teacher is learning from the studentAndrew 2.8i wrote:I agree, John's car looks superb.

You know John mate, I did not have to persuade him to get down on his back but I did have a nice soft mat for him to lie on Yep he agreed Tickover did a grand job. Thats a good approval to getJasonmarie wrote:As always Johns Capri looking good as Andrew said hope John checked out B112
Funny thing is I can always hear John before I see him when he pops over. I was cleaning the last of the tickover dust off the wheel when I heard 'that' sound and low and behold a few secs later John drives round the corner
His capri really does look sooooooooo nice now !!!!!!

Re: John's Inspection and Injection !
Hi all,
Very many thanks for all the kind words about my Cappa, really is very nice to hear I can tell you. I only wish it was down to my hard work, but I must give the credit to Phil up at Capri Care, he’s done a fantastic job to the paint work and matching in the new metal in the wing. I will how ever take the credit for it being clean, as I had just that very morning ‘chucked a bucket’ at it!!! Still one of my favourite sayings Andrew.... ... and yes, I even got on my knees and gave the new tank a wipe over... thanks guys, really do appreciate this.... Also love the pic of the quads Nick, cheers. I don’t ever really get to see them....
So, onto Nick’s new Cappa. As I think this now must be one of the closest examples of a nearly new Capri. They even went as far as using new Nuts & Bolts to hold it all together!!! It really is amazing underneath now and well deserves the mirrors front & rear so all can appreciate it when walking past. The sump, cross member, all of this put together, I just really do hope this means it’s not laid up 364 days a year!!! I did question Nick on this and he has assured me he will still be using it regularly, phew!!! As it really does deserve to be seen out & about.
Well all for now and thank you all once again for the kind words on my Capri, cheers,
John...

A good detail spray and decent micro fibre cloths are the way forward John
Hosepipes, buckets of water and sponges are really out of date now

I'm sure I remember John using a waterless wash and wax at the Nationals a few years ago. I think it was Meguiar's, no less!

Very good of you to say this mate. Was great to get your opinion as the neighbours kids did not really get it
Seriously though great compliments from you sir and very much appreciated. Thanks for rolling around on the floor to have a peek...although that wall mirror I have did the trick spot on...hmmm....Deal....,??
Yes mate I will still drive B112 in decent weather. Just think I might be a tad more careful of that 'rain' stuff...
Always great to see you and chat, and always funny to see the neighbours when you rock up in your stunning Capri with those Janspeeds doing what Janspeeds do !!! But John, you can keep that bucket of water to yourself mate As Andy says...
