I bought my first Mk1 Capri (a 1600 Deluxe) in May of 1989, which I'm currently bringing back to its former glory. I've had other Capris over the last 21 years, but my first will always be my favourite.  Cheers Jamie

I bought my Mk2 Escort Ghia in 1995, it was my first car and I have owned her ever since. So that makes it 16 years and I have no plans of ever selling her, she has been a great car.

Hello Scott,
That's a real worry for us older nuts on the acorn tree!
However it is even more of a worry when you consider that our cars have now survived 30 plus years, and many cars will most probably outlast many of their current owners,.....when the older nuts amongst us fall off the acorn tree..... [88]
