Very off topic. My new wheels. All 3 of them.

To keep the Cappa company.

Obviously needs a good clean, but it's all original and it all works.

Probably got my audience wrong, here!

Re: It's a well known fact if you can get a bird...

Right. Dan, I have met you and you seem decent, please dont play up to this sort of drivel. TK. It's as though Jay from the Inbetweeners has bought a Capri. I showed my wife your post and she laughed! Until I told her that I had met you too, and told her that you were in your forties. She gave me he...

Re: wanted set of good half leather recaro seats

Dan.

If I ever find a mint set, I'll happily sell you my current interior for a very reasonable price.

Turbo Mike made mention of a set he was working on, but it's gone a little quiet on that front.

I'll keep you posted.

Hi all.

I ask this question once in a while - more in hope than expectation!

Re: Capri Rally and Party weekend July 5/6/7 2013

One of the kids is a bit under the weather, so it'll be a flying visit.

Should be there at 14:00, albeit without Mrs.

I assume I can pay on the door?

Cheers.

Re: New Janspeed exhausts

Junction26M1. I saw it through ebay, but dealt with them direct. It was an eye-watering £750 with a £20 for delivery. I thought I'd get all the ball-aching jobs done, so the wheels are coming off next week for a refurb, and a new rear bumper arrives on Wednesday, too. I just need to sort the interio...

If you find someone, let me know.

I'm just up the road from you, so perhaps we could get a bulk discount!

Re: New Janspeed exhausts

I've just ordered a full system for my 2.8i.

It should be here on Wednesday; I can't wait to get it fitted at the weekend.

In reference to the first post of this thread, I wish I found a system for £300!!!

Looking forward to the CRAP meeting...here's photos of wife, kids and me. I'm the fat, ugly, bald, speccy one! We'll see you in July! http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s557/JackWalsh2/20120630_133527_zps525c9b73.jpg http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s557/JackWalsh2/DSC05201_zps667650f9.jpg

Re: Dixy's Capri

The wife's given me permission to donate - so stick me down for couple of hundred. Just PM me your bank details.

I'd also be keen to pick-up/deliver a few parts, as I'd love to see how you're getting on.

Re: Dixy's Capri

If you need someone to drive round the country picking up bits for you (to save your fuel and running costs) I'm happy to donate a couple of my weekends.

Cheers.

Re: Capri resale values and the so called hot hatches.

I agree. Also, if you flick through a copy of classic Ford there are relatively few pages dedicatd to the mighty Capri. I wonder whether they still have a slightly tarnished image from the past few decades - i.e. being perceived to be a boy-racer car? That said, the valuations are better than some m...

Hi Aj0r. They're greenstuff pads with grooved and vented discs - I can't for the life of me remember which make - which I'm guessing is the piece of information you were really after!! I think the whole lots cost a few hundred quid. I haven't changed anything else - i.e. uprating calipers etc. In th...
