The Ford Capri Laser Page

Many BL cars etc are far better catered for and cheaper parts wise than Fords

Although Rimmer Bros were dearer than other specialists when I was looking for Stag parts last year!

If it's any help, it worked yesterday.

Andrew.

It's working now

The link doesn't work, but personally first I would try Martin at Caprigear or if he can't help try Tickover in Kent.

As Nemo said, please God it's not true.

But they did it with the Mustang

I'm sure she'll be over the moon to realise that she, apparently, has a passing resemblance to Steven Tyler !

Dude looks like a lady

I have a picture of my great grandad, he was a private in the Somerset light infantry WW1.

Also in the picture is his wife, my nan and her sister (both under 5 years old) so taken just before WW1.

Nice one Danny :) Found out from a previous owner that my XR has been on T/V :shock: The programme was shown in February last year on the Welsh S4c channel and it should be on channel 4 later this year. About the reverend Emyr Owen from Tywyn in mid wales in the 80’s. https://www.upi.com/Archives/19...

I'd forgotton about this.

Looks like a good evening with some creative entries that must have taken many hours

Nice tribute to the Gran Torino Paul

Series 2 of Richard Hammonds Workshop starts tonight at 9pm on Quest, and repeated Sundays at 7pm! I quite enjoyed the first series so will watch this one too. Thank you Andy, I set it to tape. Funnily enough I've just been watching the first series as that's being repeated on Quest. Never appealed...

You already know what I think... What were you thinking man parking your Capri on wet grass with those stunning refurbished alloys and new tyres !!!

That's the sort of thing I dream about and wake up in a cold sweat

Looks great John

Always liked the 15" 7 spokes I had on mine and they look so much better than the same style 13" in my opinion.

I have the same Uniroyal tyres on my XR albeit smaller size, will see what they are like over the next few months

Sometimes it's quality over quantity

Some old cars there andy but which one would you have back ?

If I knew then what I do now, all the XRs and Capris ££££

It's funny but of all the cars I've had my two favourites are firstly my Skoda Fabia VRS mk1. Magic little diesel with 130 bhp but more torque than most V8's. I bought it new in 2005 and sold it to a mate in 2012 when I bought my Octavia VRS estate. My mate still has it and it's now got 120,000 and...

I've also had two Cossie Sapphires that I flipped for about £6K each and another white 3door that I sold for £7K to my MOT tester. He still has it the git. I also had a Lotus Carlton sold for £19K and several RS2000, a Mexico reg OOO 707M which was stolen one night, probably 20 Capris including a b...

Andrew.

Was made aware of it yesterday.

Mad money and more than likely it will always be an ornament
