Caffeine and Octane February 2022

 A few weeks ago Caffeine and Octane, the huge monthly car show here in Atlanta, put out a request for classic Fords for their feature area. If you've ever been, the feature area is in the middle of the main area and has extra space between the cars.

I figured I'd apply, since all they could do was say no. Well, they said yes and I took the Capri.


I had great conversations with all kinds of people, of all ages and interests in makes and models. 



Yes, that pink pickup was incredible!

If you've never been, I recommend going. 4 hours of walking around and I still didn't see all the cars. They have everything from $500k exotics, muscle cars, right-hand drive JDMs, and pretty much anything else you could think of. 

2021 NMRA Atlanta

Sorry about taking longer between updates, with the car running very well and driving I haven't done many upgrades. In 2021 I did a few fun things, but mostly drove around. 

Upgraded the rear lower control arms to the Maximum Motorsports pieces. No more wheel hop or skittish braking.

When to NMRA Atlanta for the last one before they shutdown. I was disappointed in the performance, but still a lot better than stock.
