Yeah for me I fell in love with the capri when I was about 21 and was building a minitruck. My good mate from down the street was helping me from time to time and one day I went down to his place and noticed this little blue car under a tarp. I asked what it was and he pulled off the cover and whammo it was love at first sight.
I kept working on my minitruck and made him promise that if he ever sold it he would have to sell it to me and he agreed. It was an ordinary 1600 model but it was just the shape and style of the car. Small light, classic and not over done in styling. It just looked so comfortable sitting there. I looked all over the car and just thought there's nothing I can find that I don't like.
So about 10 years later I was driving my completed minitruck (with sr20 turbo mind you) and I found out his mum had sold his capri while he was living overseas and man I was crushed. Most of the time I was working on my truck I was wishing it was a capri.
So by this time I have a wife, 2 kids and a mortgage. It took another 2 years for me to decide to take the plunge and sell my truck and hunt down a v6 capri. So now the restoration is in full swing (see the project cars section of the forum for all the pics)
Hoping to be driving it by February.
Anyway that's my story.
