The Ford Capri Laser Page

How did she know where to send it?

Should have held out for the Ghia ones with the extended black trim that folds around the end.
Still the common old cheap ones will do for now I guess.

Isn't that rather the point of a surprise?

I have a couple of bits of Capri memorabilia. I'll bring them with me.
6' x 4' Ford Flag, two coal models and a pewter 2.8i.

Hopefully that will make up for me arriving in a BMW Z4. Not sure which one yet, currently got four

Was it a block booking?

On the subject of ricochets (and various other Irishmen) we always felt a little uncomfortable when they stuck the nukes on the Tornados on the last day of exercises. As we initially fitted live ones both we and the RAF Policeman assigned to the HAS were live armed. At that point we still had SLRs w...

Gents you are going to find it a tad noisy, being a stone's throw from Snetterton the weekend the classic motorbikes are there.

Tom, I think you are correct. Always have somewhere safe to point your weapon during NSPs. (Normal Safety Precautions) As to why it is up instead of down, no idea, except it leaves the floor clear for storing stuff. However, the guard commander (been there, done that) is responsible for checking the...

Please all wear name badges as there is no way I'll remember who is who after all these years.

Tom, you'll be fine mate.

If they want to 're-launch' that thing may I suggest East Sussex has a few suitable cliffs!

M.J. You're a very naughty boy

Me?

Yes you!
Everyone knows it is actually the Thetford Weekend Amidst Tents.

Date is somewhat fluid atm the it seems, though first weekend in July is being promulgated.
It involves a field, tents, beer, bbq and lots of pointless chat as far as I can make out.
In other words, every ex-serviceman's dream

Will be there even if I have to push start it :lol: Tom I think the last time we met was 13th July 2011. I am looking forward to seeing you again in much happier circumstances. I may even bring a tent and partake of an ale with you. (Unless you're still on the Cinzano and lemonades of course? :xd: )

Are you sure you haven't got all the plug leads on one place to the left or right of where they should be?
Ask me how I know.

Right on my doorstep so could nip down and meet up for a while?

Hi Martin

It's the Angel Inn, Larling - assuming we get some interest!

Bloody hell! I can walk there!!!!

Yeah, you can still do it with a bigger bit of poly bag so it goes round it. Hi Martin, do you mean allow the poly/clingfilm, etc. to 'sag' underneath the level indicator/gubbins, so you have a sort of U shape in effect, which then comes up and out under the cap/threads. Yes. I wouldn't trust cling...

Well I stand corrected but I've still never had success with that method. Not much use on a master cylinder reservoir cap with a fluid level indicator I would have thought, Yeah, you can still do it with a bigger bit of poly bag so it goes round it. The system has to be sealed to stop leaks, so tha...

Where exactly?
Right on my doorstep so could nip down and meet up for a while?

It would be about as effective as the other old wive's tale of putting clingfilm over the reservoir. Call me an old wife then, as I've done that countless times since I first started back on my old Mk1 Escort. Fill the reservoir to the brim then a poly bag under the cap and do it up tight. Basic ph...

WD40 is not penetrating oil it is Water Displacement fluid and it was the 40th formula, hence the name. Just for the record, I agree with your definition of the original WD40, however the name has now become generic for more products in their range and they now do a Penetrating Oil in spray form as...
