TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE QLD CAPRI CLUB.
Yes folks at the qld all ford day on the 19 july we will be celebrating the clubs 20th anniversary. It will be a time to share some excitement. If you have a capri please come along we will be so happy to see you (and your capri if at all possible).
What an occasion to show your car for the first time.
Will "blue" be there (Anthony?)
Who else will be there? Feel free to nominate yourself here.
The brisbane north boys are considering coming via mt. glorius to add to the excitement of the day. One things for sure we will need good brakes.
I promise to get a pic of every capri in the paddock for a show and tell.
Now whos coming?

Live photo of progress. Blue should be there but via car trailer. No time for road worthy but should add to the show.

Thanks Terry, also this month is special for me too as it marks ten years since getting "red" back in my possession.

Anthony that white interior looks so clean, so crisp. And Im going to be drooling over those triples,yeh. Considering the amount of restoring the engine bay required this is a massive achievement, well done.

Red pepper is a cracker of a colour on a capri! One of my favourites. Looking good Ron.

I checked my fuel economy for the last tank of juice and it worked out to 16.3 mpg. Eek!
It will take nearly a tankful to get there and back. I hope you guys with the big carbies will be ok.
