Chaps. I know Danny will love them
Takes a bit of getting used to, and that pic isn't the best angle, it looks better in the flesh

I would have been tempted but the thought of a drive down and back would have been a headache.. I be interested in what the drive is like now with 13” wheels also what tyres are you running on .

Hi Andy,
What's going on here? One minute you're selling the pepperpots, the next we hear of it they're on your car!
It looks superb, by the way. You can't beat a nice set of 'pots.
Andrew.

It just made sense, so we did the deal before I changed my mind

Thanks Rob,
Not the best pic, but it was so bright I could see hardly anything on the phone screen
Yes it's a long drive although quite narrow but better than nothing.
Settling in ok, the Mrs was stripping wallpaper so thought I would get outside for an hour

Hi Andrew,
Even more since I got it out yesterday
We live in a close with a turning circle 30 yards away, but without tax it's not worth the risk as tempting as it was!
Bit of a bugger to start from cold yesterday, hasn't ran for just over 10 weeks but usually starts better than that. Even the negative battery nut was slightly rusty when I went to connect battery. Maybe living near the sea the salt air causes different issues

Rolled out the Capri for its sixth anniversary with me & ran it up to temperature, shame the drive is the furthest it’s going at mo, roll on when all this is over. Hope everyone is well.
