Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon

:lol: You beat me to it , I just found it lastnight . Only watched the MGF one . You're alright, the MGF one is episode 1 of series 3. I suppose Prime must be repeating them in order. Andrew.

Re: RIP Steve Wright MBE

Very sad news indeed. Funny guy. Loved his radio show on Radio 1 back in the day. It was everything we listened to wasn't it. Followed him slightly on to Radio 2 when I crossed over to something I understand! I have no idea what the hell Radio 1 is talking about, I don't understand the songs and mos...

My Car in ClassicFord Magazine

Evening all. My car featured in this month's Classic Ford Magazine. I am not showing off -well maybe a little, or being conceited, I just thought some may like to see it and read it's story. I bought it 13 years ago and last year saw me at two shows on a shakedown. The restoration has been immense. ...

Amazing model work - sadly not the ones we would like!

So my lad wants models to play with of the cars we have but as always there aren't any so I started buying similar and painting them etc. Now my work is about 2% and that's being generous of this guys work. It's geeky but I found myself watching it. Absolutely amazing effort, ideas and skill. Even i...

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon

I watched the first episode it was ok. That was exactly what I said about it when the wife asked if I had seen it. OK sums it up. All issues shown were sorted or advised on how to fix, but seemed like it lacked something although I don't really know what :headscratch: Quite agree Andy, it lacked so...

Re: Some cool stuff

Pretty cool . The real value in stuff like this becomes apparent when you try to find it .......might not be a lot of ££ but of great nostalgic historical value specially if you have the car too. This is the sort of thing that should tell a prospective buyer ( should you ever want to sell your Capr...

Re: 42 years old

Thanks for the replies. Steve Capri did the resto on it. I helped where I could and learnt about Capris. It's got supurb history which is what I like about the car. I would have done the same to a Cameo or 1.3L etc. I am over the moon with it and I think as most people agree, these things are never ...
