Re: I hate selling cars

My understanding of "rice" was Race Inspired, Cosmetically Enhanced, or RICE'd. Though referring to ricers as "the japs" did make me howl my head off!

Re: I hate selling cars

When I was still a Capri virgin, those alloys were popular with the ricers around town - saw them on Ka's and Fiesta's (some sticking waaaaay out the arches though and probably not MoT-safe).

Hmmmm, call me mad but but I reckon they wouldn't look too out of place on a Capri tbh.

Re: Been done speeding

Usually, you confirm or deny stewardship of the vehicle at the time of the offence, and i think its now either 3pts and a fine (most often £200 iirc) OR you take a speed awareness course, which costs more than the fine. If you don't want the points, take the course. Pretty sure theyre held in Milton...

FOR SALE: Weber 32/36 DGAV Carb (Dismantled)

Hi all, I've just discovered a box in my cupboard containing a Twin Choke 32/36 Weber DGAV carburettor and an intake manifold. My Capri is long gone now, and Id rather keep this in circulation. It is dismantled, but comes with all the parts I had when I took it apart to rebuild it, plus an intake ma...

Re: Modern car security LOL!

A mate of mine from Uni left the keys to his rusty old Fiat X19 inside it a few years back. I told him to break the window (tbh I also considered setting the bastard thing on fire, hateful little box of crap), but he made a weird whining sound at me in protest. So, cut a tennis ball in half, held it...

Re: FOR SALE - Cosworth YB Powered Red 1983 MkIII Capri.

Taking into consideration what has been said previously, I have to say that the car is WORTH £12,000 of anyone's money imo. It's a real shame the owner won't get that worth back in a sale - good luck with this one, though. I bet the car is an absolute titan, especially with a turbo in there. YBs are...

Scouting for interest really - car is 1980 year, in orange-red, with black vinyl roof and trim. No MOT or tax at present as far as I know. It ha...

Re: Haha gotta love the capri

Back when i got my first Capri, a Silver 1.6 Laser (gosh it was beautiful) - there qasnt a mark on it. I drove to Halfrauds and a guy pulled up in a Lancia Delta, got out and said "I can get £2000 cash from an atm in five minutes time if you want to sell that." Then he walked inside the sh...

Re: FOR SALE: Modified 2.0 Mk3

^ Replied to above. Lots of people who want the car, but none who are prepared to pay for it. For what is being offered, I think the price is fair? Its going on Ebay this Friday now, I need it gone. Bit of a shame really, it will probably end up getting stripped apart and used to rebuild something e...
