Now this sounds like a great plan Paul...work permitting, weather permitting, work in progress permitting, road surface condition permitting, wind direction permitting... :wave: :lol:

Seriously though Paul it would be fantastic to have another Capri 'from our end' to convoy and another Lacquer Red one too :D

Good luck with the house renovation and look forward to meeting up with you at some stage mate.

All the best

Yes Paul. Last Sunday was an amazing turnout of Classics of all sorts. Every inch of space around the Square was being used at one stage and its a pretty big Square at that ! Even the pavements were being used too. Very nice atmostphere at this meet too but you would need to get there about 7.30 if a few want to park up together. Paul it would be great to meet you in person at some stage and to see your lovely Laser too... Hopefully we can :)

All the best

But dont tell Danny...... :whistle:

But I have to say Black Capri's do look very cool indeed....just a nightmare to keep clean. My previous Laser was Black and it looked bleeding amazing when Autoglymed up !!!

Hi,
It is a great meet, not only are there always some fantastic cars, but what the pictures may not capture is that there is also a great atmosphere in a beautiful Georgian square.
It's definitely worth experiencing.

:agree:
Black Capris do look stunning when they've recently been cleaned/polished. As do lacquer red ones, of course! :)
