as a rule i'm not a fan of Fords, but the Capri is as iconic as an E-type jag for me and certainly a classic. I just hope you can get the insurance company to see my way of thinking and have a full like for like repair paid for! From similar happening to afriend of mine i can only advise that you re...

how wrong!


Though something i've noticed, why do just about all cars on ebay seem to have seatbelt pretensioners? I'd guess that a C reg manta doesn't!

I hope this doesn't mean that as a Christian I am relegated to diesel motoring :evil: 8) Neither of us have specified a particular God, and i'm not clued up enough to now if there is any mention of diesel powered horseless cariages in the new or old testament or in fact in any religious manuscript....
