Re: Classic Ford Magazine Special Edition

The traditional Capri price mark-up!

In saying that, I'll probably still buy a copy, thanks for the heads-up.

Re: Capri Assembly Line

Oh I was well aware :D But there is a rule whereby a word may not appear correct or become changed without extra punctuation. So, it could become Capriss, rhymes with kiss. See? That's why, you will note, I usually add the apostrophe :) I've just bought a new spade from Screwfix if you'd like to bo...

Re: Capri Assembly Line

:) Hehe, I bet that old school-ness was the reality of it, and everyone was on best behaviour for the picture. And certainly, with every job I've had, when people are visiting then the place is given an unnatural super clean and tidy up. It's like when royals, the Prime Minister or various other di...

Re: Public Information Films

On the subject of train safety, I'm fascinated by these street running trains that run in some of America's small towns. I would imagine that the H&S police in the UK would have a fit with massive freight trains mixing with traffic and pedestrians on the public highway! :lol: BRZkMoi2at8 Andrew.

Re: Feeling safe at night

In other words, the last thing you want to be doing is "feeling safe". It's not even crime, anything can happen out there, something can fall out of a high rise building, a car could suffer some catastrophic defect and go hurtling off the road, the bough of a tree could snap off and fall ...

Re: RS 13 INCH RIM CODING

I have a 73 MK1 Capri ,are these rims to modern for that car. Hi Gary, If you are asking if they will fit your car, the answer should be yes. I'm pretty sure they're Capri wheels as they have tapered wheelnut seats. The middle photo shows that they are 6Jx13. That's a 6 inch wide rim with a diamete...

That's great!
Hopefully the later than planned date will increase the likelihood of decent weather.
If I remember correctly, the last two years were dry and sunny but very cold.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out Edd's book.
