Hi all,
As you might have seen from Kris's note, I did make it down here this Sat morning. It was a great gathering as ever and there was a shock in store too.. But that Pic will come later on, so for now, lets get on with the Ford Capri's....
Here is Kris's Cappa, fresh from all the hard work he has put in and it was getting a LOT of well deserved attention....

So, onto the final Cappa and yes, I'm sorry, but yet another pic of mine, but I was parked next to a simply Stunning Escort Van, these are coming really popular now and with good reason when they look this good... see what you think???

This is quite new for me, but it does look great!!!!

Last one for this round!!!! What is this???? Anthill Mob from Penelope Pit Stop???
20160904_090622 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OK then, Brit Muscle time!!! I wouldn't usually go for one of these, but the Colour set it right off and the plate to match... Just something about it...???
20160904_090712 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Still British, just a little help from the Americans with the Power plant!!!!
20160904_091521 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OK, may not be Muscle, but just Great!!! I bet it feels quick!!!!

Re: Walton Bridge Breakfast Club Sep 2016
Great pics John as always. Couple of things I learnt at the meet:
The Mk2 Escort van is powered by a 1.8 Sierra diesel lump, sounds ridiculous, currently up for sale on Ebay.
The tall bloke standing next to me behind my car is the owner of the XR2, and he came bounding over when I entered in the car park as he claims he owned my car 20 years ago! He said it was on private plate & that after the plate was transferred this was it's new reg. I'd have loved to have believed him fully but he wasn't quite forthcoming with the actual info, didn't say where he used to live (because I know the car's geographical history) so forgive me for being sceptical. However he was excited regardless.
The Mk1 Capri is owned by a lady called Jayne & is absolutely fantastic as it is a South African car. 2.0 V4, and just looks great!
The Cortinas, Anglia, white Mustang, S2 RS Turbo and the blue Mondeo (not pictured) are part of RSFFE and we all came in convoy.
All in all a good morning. I'm making a video of my entire car weekend so expect that soon.

Hi Kris,
I'm not so keen on the Escort Van now.....
Phil (aka Twotall) always has a tale to tell

Hi John,
Great photos, as always. Keep 'em coming!
Why are you apologising for posting a photo of your car? If mine looked as good as yours does, I'd be posting photos of it all over this forum!
There are some great cars at this breakfast meet, and what a treat to see 5 DeLoreans together!
As Andy mentioned, the Escort van looks amazing, but the diesel power plant isn't for me.....
Thanks for uploading the photos, I really enjoyed browsing through them.
All the best,
Andrew.

Kris' 2.0S looks superb...keep saying it but I love that colour and as you said his hard work over the last year really is a credit to him with the results he has achieved...oh yes its a Pinto too
I always love seeing your stunning 2.8i Special on your photo threads fella. As Andrew said never apologise for making us every time we see it. And what a brilliant picture/setting with that gorgeous Escort Van. Wonderful photo of two very different stunning Fords....

But I have to say I really really like that Morris Minor...bet it stirs up a load of attention when it turns up at thier meets....."rocks the house" comes to mind It looks well cool !
Anyhow John thanks for the pictures again. Nice one mate !
All the best
Nick

Re: Walton Bridge Breakfast Club Sep 2016
What a great mix of cars from our shores and across the pond, a rarity seeing one Deloren but seeing 5 together must have been quite the spectacle!!
