A
Kind of Anniversary ?
At the beginning of 1997, my Capri was
starting to suffer from the high mileage I was pounding as a result of working at the
other end of the Country to where my home is. At the tender age of ten years, she should
be thinking of slowing down a little and looking forward to a lengthy retirement !
Instead, I was doing more miles than ever before. So far in 1997 the Capri has done nearly
20,000 miles; all without major problems. However, it seemed that by Spring time, all I
was doing was maintenance and repairs to keep her on the road.
During the summer of 1997 my Capri
finally went around the clock and for a brief moment the mileometer read zero again. I
remember driving down the M6 watching the event getting closer and closer, and then it
happened. It was quite a strange feeling as only a few years ago I though that cars that
had done such high mileages were completely knackered. Believe me, my Capri drives better
and is in better shape when I bought her with less than 45K on the clock!
