Hi everybody!
Im new here, but I have just got a 94 silver cappuccino! Drove half way across the country yesterday to pick it up! Anyhow, so far im loving the wee chap and look forward to making her my own.
As for me - im 24, live in Bristol and look to some shows in the summer where I can meet you all and (weather permitting) grace you with my white legs... and show you my car!  )
Cheers |

Cheers for the welcome guys,
Im in swanky Clifton Village in Bristol - but I rent an attic so its not as impressive as it sounds...
I can't wait to get spending on the capp, I have been thinking of nicking the Murtaya Kitcar theme for the looks - http://www.adrenalinemotorsport.co.uk/gallery2.htm
Nothing wrong with Red, in 1998 it was prooven by 7 indpendant scientists to be the fastest colour. |

Welcome!
The Murtaya theme is excellent.....I love it!!!
Would suit the Cappa great.
The rollbar would be cool for the Cappa trackdays fans. |

| Hi Tim & welcome. 60,000 miles is good. Hpe there's nothing major that needs doing to it? Depending on what part of Irland you in you've got some good roads out there to see how well he Cappo handles. |

Hello everyone, my name is Dan and I live in Michigan in the US. Sometime in July I was introduced to a new group of people. They were drifters, and all of us got along great. It wasn't long after I meet them that I heard of the Suzuki Cappuccino. The car seems to be legendary to them, but I never understood why. It wasn't until they told me it could be possible to touch the tail lights from inside the car is when I found out why they love the car. I found this to be hilarious and I've been looking on and off to try and find one in the US. But apparently its not a real popular model. I'm going to blame my drifter friends for getting me hooked on small Japanese cars with displacement replacements (i.e. turbos) lol. Well I'd just like to say its a pleasure to be here and I look forward to meeting everyone.

Hiya Dan and welcome!
As I said in my email it is difficult to get them into the US but not impossible so keep trying! You certainly won't regret it |

Hi Everybody.....I'm Brian, So this is where you say hello to everybody, I've been scratching around for the last week trying to find my way around....sad isn't it, but it is great to be amongst you all, I saw my first cappo on the Isle of Wight a couple of weeks ago and instantly fell in love, I know.... I'm just an old romantic, but the garage was closed....to cut a long story short, i went back for a test drive and........some rotten %£$"&&***** beat me to by 1 minute exactly, and I had to stand there whilst they took it out..........and bought it!!!!!, I've stopped crying now, in fact ....I've started smiling, want to know why??? read my last post....it's somewhere on this site.....I think LOL

Yeah, you can blame your Government for that one, lol!
Anyhow, there are a couple of threads on here already, somewhere  , about importing to the US with ideas for circumnavigation of your strange laws.

Hi i'm Peter from Glasgow
I am currently in the market for a Cappuccino and have found the site very usefull to get a feel for what i should be looking for. It sounds sad but the last time i saw a Cappuccino in the 'Flesh' was in Australia in the mid nineties. At the time i thought WOW but never bought one. Now i must be going through a mid life crisis and feel now is the time for a little fun car, and it helps that it is a 'second car and only needed to get me to work.Ive been looking in the usual places, ebay, auto trader, this site and the 'other' site, but would appreciate hearing from any Glasgow based members who may be able to give me some buying tips.
Cheers everyone, Peter |

Hi I'm not-so-new here, but I'm NOW officially the very proud owner of a Silver 94 Cappo  .
At least!
Picked her up this morning and drove the couple of hours drive from Dudley with no lid all the way!
My smile is now sun&wind-burnt into my face to prove it .
Should have had my hair cut first as now I have white ring around my face!
