Getting my Capri on....

Post by AdKin193 »

Brought it from the UK to the Isle of Man on a 230 odd mile journey and it was the most fun I could of had without stripping naked, stripped me of £80 in fuel though! God I love Cappa's. Well after a quick sprinkle and a polish then parking it the wrong way on the drive I took some photos:

I absolutey adore the colour and I think really brings out the lines and shape of the Capri.
Odds and sods of rust but nothing serious and the odds and sods will be treated very soon, also need to get that radiator sorted out!

Go on whatta you think? :poke:

£11 a year, you really are a lucky bunch in the IOM aren't you. Not only do you get some awesome tarmac to drive about on but you don't have to sell a kidney to be able to pay to enjoy it.
