Nearly 50 vs early 20's, I've now recreated the exact same photo, yes I know I'm an old sad so and so.

Both photos taken at my parents house, I see the tree has gone, some trees have even grown, my father and I ripped out that old silver birch some years ago, bless him.

The Capri is one car I think that has never lost its coolness. The new shape one that they introduced in 2014 doesn’t look good IMO.Looks like a Mustang.

I agree Rich, I like all four, but I think the MK1 is the best...

I've been having some fun out in the sun, you sure do get some looks and toot's. It's funny really, as you couldn't give them away back in the 90's.

My wife had a red MK2 when she was 18, I myself soon got a red MK3, I had to try and get in her knickers somehow, we then soon started dating. lol

Not the best pic...

That is when Tracey got her red MK2 in 1988 Rich, similar reg plate too. I would follower her like a little lost puppy, I may have even invented stalking.

I bought mine from a neighbour round the corner and when I sold it, it was the only car I ever sold for a profit. Well my dad sold it actually.
