FORD CAPRI 1.6 Laser 3dr (1984)

The Ford Capri - goodbye old friend!

I spent the best years of my life driving around in a Ford Capri, and I really loved it. I think these cars had a bit of a bad reputation because my friends used to mock me for it, but I had a great affection for my Ford Capri. Now I only sold mine recently and I got a pretty good price for it so perhaps they're becoming cult classics or something.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with the Ford Capri - the ride and handling were pretty much perfect for me, and the performance was really something. Back when it was a contemporary car it really could overtake. My Capri had a real character to it on the road which I've never really experienced in any other car.

Looking at it realistically it's probably good that I sold my old Capri but I can't help but regret it on some level. But it had started to rust and it really wasn't up to the long journeys any more. Getting quite sentimental now so I'd better stop!
