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 ...

Great photo!
The Halewood plant looks clinically clean, I half expected to see somebody in the background with a cigarette in hand!

Re: RS 13 INCH RIM CODING
The car has the original rims on at the moment with wheel trims and centre caps. I have had the car for about 2 months ,brought it at a auction, good car just needs a bit of work. I actually would prefer the original rims , but to re chrome wheel trims and centre caps and get rims painted its cheap...

Re: A funny forum passtime...
There's nothing written in this thread that would cause offence. All that's been written here is to draw attention to the original posts. What has been said on those posts is down to the individual. I'm sure most people on this forum have written something that they find embarrassing now. I certainl...

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...

Re: A funny forum passtime...
I wonder how the members would feel if/when they pop back though and see that they're being talked about? :? Probably the same way that current members feel when they have their punctuation errors criticised? Besides, the person being discussed, "Leafy" is clearly an account set up with t...

Today's winner should have gone a lot further than it did, I remember that thread, but I don't remember the colossal levels of utter tripe that the birthday boy contributed to it, nor "the owner" (yeah right) of that stolen Capri chastising us for not dobbing in this Simon Cox guy to the ...

Re: Car Books
Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out Edd's book.
It would be good to read about what went on behind the scenes on Wheeler Dealers.

Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, March 30/31st 2024
**Update** After much work over the last couple of weeks we are confirming that we will go ahead with the new dates of the 25th and 26th May. Thanks for the heads up, Andy. I will hopefully still be able to make the revised dates, but not all of my favourite local shows have publicised their dates ...
