evening, seens as I'm at a loose end, i thought id tell a short story.
2or so months ago, i was phoned up and told abowt someone wanting to get rid of there gradads capri, as he had sadly gone in2 a home, knowing no details other than it was near me, i went hoping for the best, but expecting nothing!
on my arrival i was greeted by a lobsided, d reg capri tucked away in a garage, looking very dusty and sorry for itself.
after a half hour pumping up the tyres, its lobsidededness was sorted, fresh battery and fuel, and she fired into life.
turns out the previous owner had had a minor accident and the police had taken away his liscence, the only battle scars from this indcondent was a broken d/s indicator, and a dint on the door.32k on the clock,1 owner from new,and a golvebox full of paperwork including the origional bills, she was solid as a rock underneath, so a price was negotiated, and she was mine.
2months later,(yesterday) i braved the mot test, and it passed!
an advisory on a dull headlamp, and a minor oil leak were its only issues.
waiting on tax in the post, and she will be on the road around bolton in the next week!
sorry for lack of pictures, but I'm not very good with that kinda jazz, just thought a feel good story would go down well.
