Episode 192 - The Ford Capri returns to the Griffins Head

[@eamo106]

Great meet coverage Jimmy. I need to watch the whole episode this week. At 2:54 you show a baby sick colored Mercedes W123. It sounded like a diesel. My favourite car in my times in West Africa ! These cars could/can do 300,000 miles on regular maintenance and were the best ever Mercedes made !

Cheers Eamo. Blimey. You've got about buddy! You are quite right. That Merc was indeed a diesel. We've seen it on a few occasions now. It's very clean. When Dad and myself had a holiday in Egypt about 25 years ago, that same Merc was also absolutely everywhere. That and the Peugeot 504. Same sort of reliability I guess. Lol.

@@jimmykneesall I was a Manager in Nigeria at one point(Oilfield). My youngest son had an episode, we got a Lebanese brother to take him in a W123 as an ambulance, he bullied and cut through the traffic and my son revived. W123 Mercs ! Love them. Best 4 door car ever made !

Cheers Dunk. That BMW was one of my favourite cars on the day. They really had the styling on point with all their shark-nosed cars.

It's such a clean car, isn't it Steve? I'm pretty sure Reggie and I have seen it before on at least one other occasion.
