Re: My 1985 laser

Hi and thanks for your interesting post and great photos. Your Dad has great taste obviously and pleased that it rubbed off on you too. Your laser looks amazing and in a great colour too. Well done on the work done so far. Look forward to seeing it one day perhaps. I remember Old Blundells Garage as...

Hi and that looks a lovely S. Reminds me of the one that features in the original Ford marketing/MK3 launch video.

Re: Brooklands 8.9.19

Thanks for uploading your great pics Peter. Good to see you again (albeit briefly) and with 2 Capri's; thanks again for the brake parts offer at Dunton. I wasn't willing to chance it driving up with them as they were though. :o Yes Nige, almost a brief hello. Dunton turned in to a bit more of a soc...

Re: New Member - and message for Brooksy

Hi Maraget, it's Nige here. :welcome: Great that you've joined the forum and welcome! It was great to meet you and your amazing Laser on Sunday. As I said, it's a real credit to you. As my friend Andy said on the day, we could have done with 2 days to see all the cars and chat to the owners. Neverth...

Re: 50 Years of the Capri - Historic Brooklands Circuit & Museum - 8th September 2019

Great day today (apart from the queuing to get in) and really enjoyed being able to be part in another Capri 50th anniversary event. Again, some lovely examples on show and at a great historic venue. Admired those who took their Capri's up Test Hill, felt for the owners of the two that Andy and I he...

The all important camera mount has been sorted, so hopefully get a decent bit of video of the day, inc...

There has been plenty of feedback on other posts about this event but I'd like to say congratulations to the OP and all involved parties on the organisation of this show, which was a great day.
