Icon Posting Project - Day 20
Tuesday, 24 September 2019 10:18 amToday is another happy icon from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
probodie - the Capri! I tend to use it when there's something to pleased (or smug *g*) about, because of course the caption comes from the 1991 song by Right Said Fred. Or I use it when there's a car involved. *g*
I always think its funny that it's the silver Capri that's become iconic of Pros, because of course Doyle drove a gold Capri (and I think the first one we see in an ep is a black Capri driven by Tommy), and Doyle drove the Escort as well (okay, that's kind of iconic too). I guess the silver is just a bit classier than the gold (or "boring" as my cousin once said of silver cars - but I drive a "boring" car myself, so...), and perhaps we see it more often than the other vehicles... I could see if Professional Insight says anything about that... Ha - of course it does!
Right:
Bodie drove the silver Capri in 31 eps (actually there were 3 of them)
Doyle drove the gold Capri in 13 eps
Doyle also drove a silver Capri in 1 ep, bringing its appearance to 32
Doyle drove the white Escort in 21 eps
Doyle also drove many more other cars than Bodie did, so we associate one car more strongly with Bodie
So there - the silver Capri is the car we see most in Pros!
And actually, because I just watched the vid and it made me smile even before I've my coffee - please do watch it with me!
