The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi There, This was a Great shame indeed. He also did The Avengers & The New Avengers. I remember watching an old episode of The New Avengers a couple of Years ago and there was Lewis Collins and Martin Shaw playing the 'Baddies'. I remember it well, as I was trying to work out if they where alre...

HI Andrew,

Love it, the Wheels really do set it off. I think you'd need some Bottle to drive round in it though, unless of course it had a nice BIG V8 under the Hood... And a BLISTERING 1/4 Mile time....

John....

Hi there, Just been reading through this and just thought it might be worth mentioning one more thing. All advice is spot on, but back in the distant past we used to set our idle mixture with a Color Tune Kit. Basically a transparent spark plug. Get your engine warmed up, (making sure the choke is o...

Hi Nick, I've been watching this spot waiting for these photo's & you haven't disapointed. I really wish I could have made it too, unfortunately the W word got in the way. Love the MKII Jag, looks like it might have had some serious upgrading done??? The Audi and the Firenza too, but to be total...

Hi Andy, Yep, I'll be there again... Hopefully I won't get as Muddy as last Years Mud Bath.... And now I know some faces, I will be saying Hello a bit more, last year I walked right past Nick, (Fordoholicnick) while Videoing the Jet.... Also drove past DCDave too, Doh!!! Maybe get the Shirts out aga...

Hi Les, As has already been said, this is a Very Personal thing. I was desperate a few years ago for a sorted 280i. I looked at a few, but then came across a 2.8i Special, my knees went weak and I just went Wow. Needless to say I bought this one and have never looked back... You need to go and see t...

Hi again, Cheers Andrew, Nick, for your very kind comments on my Capri. You’re making me feel really guilty for continuing to use it so much. Coming back from Mansfield on Boxing Day night in a Snow Blizzard on the M1, eventually got to Leicester Forest and pulled in as I swore my Headlights had fai...

Hi All, Made it over to this last night. I can report, that while I was there, I was the only Capri, it was a more modern car event, BUT.... That being said, there was a great small splattering of old classic car's there too, here's a few of them if you're interested??? Let's start with the Cortina'...

Hi Mike, Another Gem here, I haven't watched them all yet, but am working through them, I was on the look out for Mike & Edd in the opening of The Driving Test, driving the Darracq for their 100th car. I also noted the distinct lack of Road Markings back then, makes it much easier to overtake if...

Hi Andrew, I must say this is a GREAT thread your doing here, as many other members have done for other various jobs, but this I think is close to all our Hearts. Looking forward to the next Up-date, fingers crossed I won't need this for a good while yet, but I certainly know where to look when I ne...

Hi All, Just found this and wondered if anyone else might be going along? I will be there, (Even though it's very close to work...) shame it starts at 6:30PM when it's already dark, but should still be a good un..... http://englandevents.co.uk/london-ford-enthusiasts-charity-meet-ace-cafe-london/740...

Hi Nick,

Nice find, I think I'll have to see about getting along to this too, so long as I've not run out of Week Ends off at work now being in a New Year... Hope to see you there, cheers,

John...

Hi All, This was (Is still...) a good meet and as Nick says the weather did us proud for December, if not a bit chilly... As to the Ferrari, roof off too, 'What a Guy!' Kris, sorry to hear about the Capri, at least on the up side, it is the right time of year to have it sorted out, not missing too m...

Hi Caleng

Are you now selling this car? If not you should be aware it's been for sale for a week or so here.

Morning All, I've been down to this one a few times now, including the last one in December, met up with Kris, who you all know from Brooklands 45th, had a good chat with him. Hope you get the Capri back on the road soon Kris, if your reading this.... Actually, even if your not!!! I do enjoy this li...

Happy New Year to all on this site!!! Cheers Nick, look forward to seeing a few more of you all this year at some shows etc.... (Talking of which, once my Blood Alcohol level returns to normal, there's a small meet today just round the corner from Walton Bridge...) All the very best to all, Cheers.....

Hiya all, Just back in from a Christmas drink or 7. Watching some Russian car crashes and came across this. I can't get a link to work for a couple of reasons, 1, I've been drinking. 2, I'm using a new Pad thing. But if you go to YouTube and type in. "Autotrader helps the Dukes of hazard find a...

Hi AndyD, Been to this the last couple of Years and it must be one of the best, if not The best Ford meeting... (((Only in my Opinion.) No Drag strip though.) Or Race circuit...) Yes, I've been to Classic Ford too, covered my Capri in Mud it did this year, Done Ford Fair etc too, but Beaulieu, alway...

HI All, This is all getting quite worrying!!! I will say hwever, the Plugs I removed, although NGK actually seemed to be the real things. But some how over the last 2 or 3 thousand they have opened up from 0.6mm to 0.8mm, I did also note they where very Beige, so I also took my Mixture up 1/8 of a t...

Hi Nick, I know what you mean about the Bolts mate. When I used to work at a Warehouse in Leeds, back when I lived in Huddersfield growing up, (Happy Days.) me and a good few mates had Capri’s (A couple of others had Manta’s of course to keep the Banter up!!!) we used to do Engine swaps on Week Ends...
