Amazing. I've been a fan of Capris since I was a kid, I've owned a few and driven many more, and yet I've never seen that sentence before today.
Dear monos, a secret truth.

Had a 1973 Mk1 Capri 1.6 GT. Bright orange, more fins than Flipper, more wings than Red Bull, more spoilers than a very spoilt thing, rattled along in a straight line, cornered like Dumbo. The cambelt blew on the way to MY engagement party, and I sold her (not the fiancee) the week after. My next car was a Mk1 Escort Mexico - the best car I ever owned until 2010 (see below)

Adam, you have to buy one.
In life, you regret the things you don't do more than the things you do! Don't look back in years to come and regret passing on the opportunity to ever own one. Adam, YOU WANT ONE!!!! Just like Nike, just do it. You are not going to lose a shed load of money and you will have FUN!!

Amazing. I've been a fan of Capris since I was a kid, I've owned a few and driven many more, and yet I've never seen that sentence before today. Oddly enough, found myself next to a Capri in a traffic queue tonight... matt black with *six* stripes (two fat ones and four thin ones) front to back over the bonnet and roof in bright fluorescent green... noisy exhausts, too. To be honest, I didn't like it any better than when they were new. I always promised myself a 240Z.

Does that mean you missed The One Show? Jenny Agutter was on it...
