Capri Club Christmas Outing 2010

After trying all year to attend a club outing in the green Capri, it finally happened at the end of the year. I was a little concerned how the beast would perform as there was a combination of freeway, counrty & suburban driving. Although I had driven it on many occasions around the city, it had never been on any extended trips. As the weather was very mild for summer I even convinced my wife to accompany me. I think that she also was a little worried that we might end up by the roadside down the back of Jacob's Well. However, there was no need to worry as the beast never missed a beat & although I didn't push it too hard, it cruised along easily between 90 - 100 kph. The temperature gauge didn't move so I was pretty happy. There was only one moment of drama when the bonnet catch let go but I stopped quickly & fixed it with a good push & it didn't happen again. I was also worried about oil leakage from the main rear seal but it was very minor but it is something that will have to be replaced eventually.
I have attached some pictures of the other Capris attending and they are all in immaculate condition & a credit to their owners.
