I think we should do something like that, it would be great to park together as a club.
Also, it's always a pleasure to drive in a Capri convoy.

There you go. I knew I didn't dream it......

Andrew.

Thanks for the heads up.
This is one of the best car programmes, in my opinion. They tell it how it is, especially in terms of how long the works take, they don't claim to fully restore a car in a week like some other shows.

Andrew.

Hi All,
Are there still plans to have a Laser Pagers section within the 50th anniversary event?
I seem to remember it being mentioned last year, but are there any plans afoot to meet up beforehand to convoy to the event and park together?
Any thoughts on this?

Andrew.

Anyone see EastEnders tonight?
Alfie Moon has a 280 stashed in his garage, build number 56, apparently!
Hopefully we'll be seeing some V6 Capri action in EastEnders on a regular basis.

I was wondering why Jason had started getting worked up over a lez. Turns out he's talking about something else entirely....

Andrew.

Thanks for the heads up, Jason.

Nice and bright this morning, much the same all day yesterday :tongue: :drive: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4829/45896100735_10d917dc28_b.jpg Jan 19 by Peter Smith , on Flickr Lucky you, Peter! But then, in the past, even a snow shower hasn't stopped you taking your stunning Laser out for a drive...

Nice Granada but strong money https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-GRANADA-V6-3-0-GXL1975-GXL-MINTER-60K-MILE-OFFERS-PX-CAPRI-ESCORT-CORTINA/202571200906?hash=item2f2a2f398a:g:X30AAOSwI01cEBhK:rk:2:pf:0 :agree: Gorgeous car, but at that price I can't see it being as much of an investment as the advert c...

Roll on summer ..........

Yes, same here. We've had lots of cold nights over the last week so the gritters have been out to play. Plus it didn't stop raining yesterday and today doesn't look much better......

Why bother if yours is working fine?
The part alone is £45 at Tickover, and that money would buy a lot of tea towels......

Andrew.

They were very clean and possibly restored....If so I would have been interested in seeing that too. I would be amazed if they hadn't bee re-upholstered, as they were in superb condition. I've never heard of the guy they bought the original set of seats (the infamous headrest set... :D ) from thoug...

I enjoyed this episode and thought the Capri looked great.
Can't understand why the lad sold it in the first place and kept that Vauxhall though.....

Andrew.

Happy Birthday Dan!
I hope to catch up with you at the Nationals in May.

Andrew.

Could make pleading innocent a little more tricky if it was ever necessary It might be more believable to plead insanity...... :whistle: :lol: Nick, the sump looks amazing, it will almost be a shame to put it on the car! Now, how will you clean the oil so it doesn't get the inside of the sump messy...

You must have heard me singing "Gold" by Spandau Ballet at the Nationals last year........

I hope not as I won't be watching it until tomorrow.

They aren't going to be manufactured indefinitely though are they? Once demand dwindles to nothing, no supplier is going to want to commit to having a batch made....

Andrew.

Yes check the blokes feedback as the last person who bid on the car says it’s more like a million miles . Good call, Jason. The person you mention bid £5300 for it.... :doh: But look at how deceptive the photos are on the original listing. They don't show the O/S/R wheel arch at all, or much of the...
