That is nice...Love the wheels. Colour is a nice too. That is the kind of thing I would be after, just in a couple of months. I will more than likely get it from that forum as I know they are the best places.
I'm the main driver on my BMW. I am also insured to drive any car already insured. So, I was gonna buy a Capri, get my old dear to insure it, give her the money and drive it myself.
Seen a couple of 'tidy' 2.8i on your forum. May have to take a more serious look in a couple of months...When I do go to look at one, fancy joining me? I'm sure your knowledge of Capris is better than mine. But my BMW knowledge will beat you hands down.
Well, I got my insurance through today, and it does state that I can drive any vehicle that is already insured so I will be going with my plan I mentioned ealier.
But, I think I will be looking for a £500 'shed' then once I've got a bit of money, buy a more mint example.
Being british is about driving a german car to an irish pub for a belgian beer, then on the way home grabbing an indian curry, or a turkish Kebab, then sitting on a swedish sofa and watching american TV shows on a japanese tv. And most of all about being suspicious of anything foreign.
Only in britain can you get a pizza delivered to your home faster than an ambulance, only in british banks do they leave the doors open, but the pens chained to the counters, only british supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the shop for prescriptions whilst healthy people get there cigarettes at the front of the shop.
Am still looking for a 2.8 Capri, but I'm waiting for my money situation to sort it self out, I've just spent a fortune sorting out Insurance and what not.
I guess I will be on the right track - money wise - in a couple of months.
Wouldn't mind a trip to Essex to see your Capri though
Psysim - I do use the Password Manager. If you read my post, it says I am usually logged in, but I know it expires after a few weeks sometimes. I logged in and it didn't work.
Anyway, enough bickering...The problem has been 'sorted'.
Today, I loaded up a few forums and it asked me to sign in "No big deal" I thought, even though I always tick the box that says "Keep me signed in" but I logged in. "Thanks for logging in" message came up, then when I would go back to the forum index, it would ask me to login again.
Deleted all my shizzle and reinstalled...Sounds selfish, but I really can't be bothered to try everything before asking, which is what I usually do, but my computer has a few problems that I need to sort, I just can't be bothered
A very very sad day for music and Floyd. I read they were planing a full come back in 2009. Sad to think we will never ever see Pink Floyd in its entirety every again.
If I was to do it, I would have both cars. BMW as a nice luxurious drive with all the mods cons, IE..Air con, Power steering, ABS, traction control. But the Capri would be there for when I wanted to drive a car, rather than be driven...So, the Capri would be a weekend car for B road blasts and of course a lot more.
Töki - Read my other post mate, I'm after a BMW coupe now, the Capri is a play thing for the future.
Rob - I agree..Capri talk it is What is so rare about the 'banger' the 2.0 Ghia-ness of it all... or the 4 speed? Or is it just the model of Capri altogether.
I already found you on there mate. I saw Robt100 and though, "Ooooh, could be him..." I searched this thread for the pictures of your car and checked your registration...Jobs a good'n.
I really MUST have one. Since I posted here about the insurance, it's all I've been able to think about. Once I'm all licenced up, I will definitely buy one. Even if it is a £650 Taxed and Tested banger. But in time, I will definitely be shelling out around the £2,000 - £3,000 range to get a mint(ish) 2.8.
I registered on the site, just so I can see all the forums and stuff, my username is Looney28 - the 28 is a little soon, but hey ho.
Rob, do you have MSN so we don't spam this thread with Capri talk
