Jam on revenge / I'd make a mildly disturbing housewife

[hirez]

Capri. Bodykit. Slot mags. Also dodgy paint-job, but you can't see that because I seem to have permanently gunked-up the plastic in front of the lens on the phone.




Jam. Probably. Strawberries from the garden, blackberries from the garden of the empty house at the end of the road, raspberries from the back of the freezer. Tastes rather good, but don't know if it'll actually set.

I love both capris and jam :-)

I don't particularly love Capris (dirty little rustbuckets) but I'm rather fond of jam, and people who love Capris. And jam.

I have fond memories of bombing down the A414 to Potters Bar in a blue Ford Capri with two flautists, all of us singing along to Thunder's "Love Walked In" on a rainy June night in 1992.

Cut little car--kind of reminds me of the old Opal http://www.google.com/imgres?q=opal+car&um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbnid=2C5-2oUQ0Q_z6M:&imgrefurl=http://www.examiner.com/autos-in-detroit/want-to-win-a-2010-chevrolet-camaro&docid=x_IfX9bh1Y3awM&w=495&h=271&ei=M8hBTvuNL8Hr0gGQhvT0CQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=567&vpy=216&dur=15&hovh=166&hovw=304&tx=172&ty=98&page=1&tbnh=80&tbnw=146&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:0&biw=1187&bih=512

That would be good, except that Ford intended the Capri to remind Europeans of Steve McQueen and the Ford Mustang!

Mind you, the only time they really succeeded in making a Mustang fastback lookalike in Europe was with the Ford Grandad coupe (Hirez dreamcar passim).

Ah, I see!
My late husband had this baby: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=ford+mustang+1969&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=ZvfhRPvFbOQRkM:&imgrefurl=http://stangplanet.com/forum/boss-545/3414-545-cid-1969-mustang.html&docid=xPmupLC0X7aEXM&w=1366&h=1024&ei=qn9CTsfmKMTL0QH5qbnRCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=390&vpy=202&dur=7348&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=162&ty=83&page=11&tbnh=161&tbnw=218&start=80&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:80&biw=1187&bih=512

(Sorry about the long code--don't know how to condense it.) Until he cracked it up. Then we got one of these:http://www.google.com/imgres?q=ford+mustang+1965&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=ll2juEAVz6i7WM:&imgrefurl=http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2347601/posts%253Fq%253D1%2526%253Bpage%253D151&docid=nFwY-3tYAk_8sM&w=525&h=394&ei=JoFCTu6-OOL50gHJtJ3uCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=396&vpy=133&dur=31&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=181&ty=138&page=8&tbnh=158&tbnw=221&start=56&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:56&biw=1187&bih=512 in that exact color!

When that one died, we got one of these: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=1965+mercury+caliente&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=0NIdUWnq0Px1lM:&imgrefurl=http://www.carster.com/car-pictures/1965/mercury/comet/1965-mercury-comet-190463050665/&docid=U3Dxfjk-J8y9_M&w=800&h=600&ei=fIFCTuWYEsHW0QGo57TcDA&zoom=1&biw=1187&bih=512&iact=rc&dur=47&page=22&tbnh=161&tbnw=237&start=184&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:184&tx=156&ty=83 except ours was maroon with white leather interior.

This one was MY baby. Gads, I loved that car. So what if you had to turn the heat on in the blazing summer to keep it from overheating, and couldn't drive it in the rain because the spark plugs would get wet and turn off the engine. She was GORGEOUS! Fully restored.

And then, after he died and I remarried, I ended up with one of these:http://www.google.com/imgres?q=1989+dodge+caravan+minivan&hl=en&biw=1187&bih=512&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=71iyIxZCZfYvzM:&imgrefurl=http://www.productioncars.com/vintage-ads.php/Dodge/Caravan&docid=5qmaeJBk_kMT9M&w=720&h=974&ei=woJCTrSSO6Xi0QH_1JjJCQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=484&page=3&tbnh=166&tbnw=144&start=16&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:16&tx=93&ty=72

Yeah...at least it was a turbo.

If it doesn't set, it's coulis. And you'd be a smashing little renaissance home-maker ;)

Jolly good. Wish I'd bought another Neubauten apron, now.
