 An update of this blog is long overdue.

Due to a number of factors over the last two years, my involvement with my Capris has diminished a little. Due to health and age, I am no longer able to climb under dashboards to fix wipers or crawl under the car to adjust brakes. I have now adopted the policy that if the car is going well, just leave it alone.

I also very reluctantly parted with my white 1972 Capri XL last year as I considered it time that someone else could enjoy it more that the time it was sitting in my garage. A very keen Capri enthusiast in Canberra bought it sight unseen, hours after it was advertised. I had owned that car for over 20 years, spent a lot of time and money on it, but being very original was highly sought after. It was quite sad watching it being loaded into the transporter. I hope the new owners continue to protect its heritage.

My Jewel Green 1970 Capri Deluxe is still going very well and I love driving it even though that seems to be less than previous years. I have participated in very few events this year which is quite different to previous times. It does really need a new battery and that will get sorted very soon.

Due to my infrequent car maintenance and participation in car events, I have had little to post on this blog. Keep on Capring and I will try to remember to write things that are of interest.
