Woohoo off to collect my car very soon, can't wait to see it again and bring it home. (Hope Graham doesn't change his mind).keep you posted!

Safely home and my first experience of filling it up, Stew says ì have to get used to that lol!

Can't wait to have a drive now. Ran like a dream all the way home, stopped off on the way at friend's who were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, envy of everyone!

So proud of my new car- love it! Proper S girl now :0D

Just looks a really nice translucent finish Karen. I'll admit I had an old Mk111 capri 2.8 Special in that colour. Wish i'd never let it go. Hey ho. My current company hack is a little like it but a darker plum colour.

How old were you then Pete ? Sounds great you got pics?

Had a capri phase to be honest Karen. Mk11 2.0, Mk111 2.8 special burgundy and a Mk111 2.8 special white. If I have any photo's they won't be digital that's for sure! All a lot of fun, but they had a habit of rusting out down the A pillars and replacement front struts were also a nightmare then (probably are now too). I stupidly turned down an opportunity to acquire a supposedly genuine ford factory fitted brooklands turbo as well. Still kick myself for that one!!

I think most young men had a Capri phase, I know Stew did and most regret ever getting rid of theirs too, I don't think there are that many good examples left out there. Take digital photos of your non digital photos - job done! Ooh I bet you do that's an opportunity missed but another one might come up, you never know.

So, the seat has been moved forward, I have a pedal extender and took my car out for a short spin for the first time tonight. Gearbox will take a bit of getting used to just because I haven't driven a classic car before (gearbox is actually very smooth) looking forward to taking it out again. Love my S

Not the best pic but I was having fun!

Crikey - that IS close to the steering wheel!

I suppose you can keep your roof panels behind the seat instead of in the boot now...

Have fun,
Graham

Ha ha cheeky! (Can probably keep a lot of stuff behind the seat inside of the boot

Thank you Graham x
