The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hey that's got some great info, I need to delve into that. Didn't reailse that there was a drop handled version.

It does now that you mention it Steve. Not even quite sure how you say it.

We have one of these, you need one now too Andy -

I agree with you there, simple, easy and fun to drive, it's true! Only downside is that for a modern car they don't half suffer with bodywork issues and rot.

I bet you did Andy Next sunny day you should take a pic with it outside next to the Capri. Will look brilliant.

Sorry Nick, just realised that you posted a similar link. Two heads are better than one though, and these things are that good they easily warrant two recommendations

Do you mean the Irwin ones? They have saved me a few times over the years. Not cheap but very handy to have in the toolbox. Those are the ones, yes. Remarkable things. http://s7g3.scene7.com/is/image/ae235?wid=1000&hei=1000&op_sharpen=1&layer=0&size=1000,1000&layer=1&size=10...

Couple for sale in the latest CCI magazine. Very good condition and excellent condition. For £4500 and £5000.

I had the same sump plug trouble. One of those removal kits worked for me when all else failed. It has sockets which sort of cuts into the knackered head as you turn it, gets a good hold on it. And you can turn it then.

Been looking at these myself, seen a couple at car shows. Love it, looks like a real good one. Bet you can't stop grinning at it.

Hi and welcome. I have relations in Arizona, in Peoria.

You're both correct in that, as I did mention before, it may be age restrictive with a lot of insurers. It's worth looking into though, it has been a typical way for young people to drive around in high performance cars for instance. Only third party cover though usually.

And, as I mentioned before, he may be allowed to drive any other car, with owners permission. i.e. the Capri.

T.B.H I am not 100% sure however I have spoken to people who waited up to 3 years You know when you take a car to the garage and they span an easy job out for an extra hour or two, or when you have a builder take a couple of days on something he could have done in half a day, well I can't help but ...

I'm beginning to just laugh and be merry at some of these prices.

Hi, At least that guy looks as though he has chocked the rear wheel. Safety first! :lol: Andrew. Good to see he's chocked the rear wheel, safety first. Andrew, that's at least twice that you have said the same as me. If it wasn't for the fact that you don't have my good looks, then people would thi...

Yes, he was a character wasn't he Andy. Had to be one of a kind with the stuff that he was doing. That bit about the Wembley jump sums him up really - necessary gearbox didn't arrive in time, so instead of using current gearbox and taking a bus away to make the jump more viable, he left 13 buses in ...

You can also use this highly advanced and technical method to drain the old oil from the filler plug instead -

I now have the original ballast wire going to the connector at the side of the coil...

I don't think that's right? If you are using the original ballast wire, then it's not a non ballast coil that you need.
