Fox V.O.I.C.E. Fundraiser Update

John and Gwen move scrap.
Our 'Support the Veterans' drive has finally built up some steam.  Flag donations are going well and the scrap drive has been a tremendous success.  Thanks to the hard work of Greg and Al along with their teams for keeping the scrap moving.  Greg has made an agreement with Padnos to keep the extra scrap dumpster out back so we can continue to fill it as scrap becomes available.

Convertible Pick of the Week

1991 Mercury Capri Convertible
Ron Davis owns a Ford of Australia produced Mazda Miata rival named the Ford/Mercury Capri which is ironically based around many Mazda 323 mechanics. Therefore, it is Front Wheel Drive as opposed to the Mazda Miata's Rear Wheel Drive. From the 1991 model year, this car was sold in North America as the Mercury Capri. The car was sold until the 1994 model year with minimal changes (1994 models did get a minor cosmetic update that included new front and rear bumpers as well as taillights). The matte finish is difficult to replicate and the tail is a coveted aftermarket accessory.
Despite mechanical issues with the Capri in the United States, the Australian version was a reliable vehicle. Many are still in use as "daily drivers" in Australia, with the only faults being reported relating to leaks in the roof. In the United States, the car was known to have had electrical problems (the heater core is located on the right side interior firewall above the main computer, so wrapping the electronics here with water tight plastic shielding is advised) as well as drivetrain problems related to cold and/or extreme weather operation.
