I was very happy driving my Capri again.
It was nice to zoom down the motorway at 80 mph again after cruising the Interstates of
America at 65 mph. It was quite a shock to see how much worse the crowding on our
roads has got in just 14 months. I was in more traffic jams in three weeks than all
the time we spent in the USA. My Capri does not like being stuck in traffic any more than
I do ! I must do something about that heavy steering though. After driving a car with
power steering it feels like trying to manoeuvre a tank.
One other thing that has changed while we
were away (apart from the price !) is the introduction of lead free 4 star petrol. Despite
reassurances from the garage owners, I am not convinced and reluctant to put it in my car.
Now I have to be extra careful when filling up because many of the garages do not openly
advertise the fact they are selling it.
Since writing this, 4 star petrol was banned
in the UK on 1st Jan 2000. Please visit my unleaded page
for further details.
