Re: Anybody know what this is?

Cheers Paul. The thing is I`ve googled all these animals and none of them look quite right. Fair enough, it's just that stoat/weasel are common, a lot of the other animals mentioned, mink etc. I think it to be highly unlikely. Could be a fancy bred domestic ferret which has got loose. http://img.fa...

Re: Anybody know what this is?

I should think that it's either a stoat or weasel, both are similar and quite common. Great pics of your car by the way Steve, especially that first one.

Re: Switched 12v feed for electric fan

I don't know about the injection, but on some of the other models there is a spare unconnected live by the headlamp relay. Actually can anyone confirm if this is on the injections, would be good to know.

Re: Stubacca's Glacier Blue 1984 LS

Seems that a few of us have been checking the site. I just stumbled across it whilst generally googling Capri stuff I think, as it appear quite high up in some of the searches. It's an excellent domain name to have by the way - mk3capri.

Unless it's a 3 litre.
Is that right, pre-facelift 3 litre still had the bulge? Thanks for info.

Re: old pinto engine?

Just checked again, still not showing for me. Not sure why, all others seem to be ok. Currently, on this alternate pc, your images, etc. are showing Peter. I suspect it's security settings causing it previously. Although I'm not sure why it was apparently only your pics and stuff, they may possibly...

Re: CCI National May 2015

Thanks for the extra pics, I enjoyed that. I like to see the perfect cars don't get me wrong, but also the others, perhaps even more, they can seem so honest. Then again, I'll look at any Capri! Great pics, looks like a good day out.

...there was a very high standard of cars as you would have seen from the photos. All the other forum members' cars that attended were stunning... Having never been to this, I'm interested to know, where there any 'everyday' or normal Capri's in attendance. It's a bad choice of words I know, is it ...

Personally I'd keep it to points. Those electronic ignition kits are quite popular though.

Re: Wanted: Indicator stalk & Sun roof handle

I can only think that there are people out there who have an abundance of money Even if you've got plenty of money you've got to be nuts to pay that... Maybe so, but imagine, for instance, that you have so much money (as many do!) that a thousand pounds to you, is like a tenner to a normal person. ...

That's how I understood it. Pre-facelift = no bulge.

Fascinating car by the way.
