The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hmmm not sure about those - the one I remember had 'Made in England' on the back of the metal fob and a patent number on the leather.

..anyone got one of those old school leather Capri keyrings? The one with the silver 'F O R D' and the 'Capri' in the old style script, on a black background on a round fob? There's one on ebay but it looks like a repro.

Been looking for years but never seen one.

Simon "standard_man" Hinsley is it Peter? I never knew him by his surname!

Ahh Happy Birthday Sir Daniel of Danielshire. Have a day of deviance and debauchery and... rave safe kids!

There are a few instances where one could say " its all in the preparation " and painting stuff would have to be right up there. Thusly I could understand some painters not wanting to entrust this task to some....... one :xd: . Im thinkin that if one doesnt have the nouse ( or confidence ...

Similar point though - you want to do the donkey work yourself, sand it, fill it, prime it, then take it to the main man and see what he says. Save a few quid for sure. Very much like prepping for a welding job.

Maybe I get lucky with garages.. I'm usually allowed to borrow tools and make tea, use the air lines and jacks and even air tools! Last time this happened I had my fuel hose split, reconnected it, limped to the closest garage, the guy pointed at the spare hoses hanging up, pointed at the tools and ...

Looking good Danny 👍👍 Cheers chaps, I know it's not terminal, just in need of a lot of new metal!

From all the bumming?

if possible do the prep work there (which is what I was going to do) so they can advise and you can sort of do it under supervision. TBH, as well as the points Caprigear made re. guaranteeing quality of finish when they (their company) have not carried out operations, there is also the H&S, and...

It's been 16 years since I hit those railings so really should get the bumper back on. We can deduce from that statement that railings are less strong than bins. We all know what would happen to a Capri if you were to hit one of those! :D Funnily enough, years ago a friend of mine hit some railings...

Some good tips there , you need your own Tick Tock account While I was trying out the sunvisor thing, I discovered a new one of my own....

That's nothing Andrew! You know those trailing bits of thick sort of thread stuff that comes out of shoes? Well I was watching this old dude in the pub and he sort of... well.. it's hard to explain, but he made the thread bits sort of go into eachother and create this one ball bit out of the two sin...

..hello all. Anyone got a pair of the above? Only really need the offside one.. I think It's been 16 years since I hit those railings so really should get the bumper back on.

You may be successful, I am toying with the idea of getting mine resprayed and looking nickable, might not do it, but I was serious enough that I approached my paint spraying mate that does jobs for insurancr companies, really talented bodywork guy, and asked him exactly what you are wondering: to k...

I'm not on Tik Tok, but I'm curious to know whether it really is a depository of life-changing "secret" "hacks" such as this gem reported by The Mirror? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technology/i-tried-secret-sun-visor-hack-to-shield-your-eyes-while-driving-i-ll-never-go-back/...

Peter Smith begins to meld,
Annoying hole in car with weld,
See the towels from in the house,
Much to chargrin of his spouce.

Everything on it is ugly. Especially that grille and the corny fake pipes. It's like a gaudy 1980s kitchen and lounge has been added to it by a race of aliens that don't understand what they're making.
