Lovely Mexico

[Caprifan Rob]

Due to this Very strange year, taxed the car today for first time & went for a blast in the sun (Nick, no ice cream van in Brecon ) followed this stunning looking Escort for a while, looked and sounded great, closest I’ve come to a cruise this year .. great weather today, hope it lasts.

Hi Rob,
Your Capri looks as stunning as ever. Gorgeous!
That Escort is a beauty too. I recognise it from the Cardiff show.

Glad you got out Rob and spotted a nice Mk1 I also took mine for a blast around the block just to blow the cob webs off .

Would love to, bit far for me as I'd do it in a day as I dont do camping but will make the effort one year

Missed our normal park up time this year Rob and Andrew I can’t wait to fit them back number plates only 8 more years to go .

Wow Rob !! !Simply stunning photos of your Capri mate up on the Brecon. Just love it !! What a beautiful part of the world too. Bet you could not stop the whole time...except when you realised the ice cream man was not about.

And how cool to end up in an unofficial convoy with a bleedin Mexico too... Double Wow.! What a day you had Rob and great pictures as, said. Nice one mate

We have the classic black number plate issue here to. The only legal way to get black plates is to cough up a thousand bucks for a personal plate. I painted my white plates black and give them a wizz with a sander to sand the paint off the raised letters/numbers leaving a black plate with raised ally letters/numbers almost indistinguishable ( didnt even use spellcheck ) from the old style plates.

Dartmoor sounds like a great run, post up a picture or two, be nice to see your red 2.8 in the sunshine

We can't even do that as it is based on the age of the car.

I cant remember when we changed to the white plates ,it was case of ....after this date all plates shall be white, and if you had an old car with black plates and lost one you got a pair of white plates and a new number . However the plods here dont seem to get excited about it ....unless you piss them off and they have nothing else to ping you for , hell , we even have cars with the number painted on the bonnet. The only time I ever had an issue (pulled over for a random stop.....basically an attitude test ) the cop put the number into his car comms and when it came back correct to the car description and registered owner (me) he was happy (he liked old fords ).
