The Ford Capri Laser Page

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

I thought I'd post this here as Tim Shaw is mentioned in the article: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/car-sos-hosts-tim-shaw-and-fuzz-townshend-advice-to-all-classic-car-owners-in-2024/ar-BB1k1D7P?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=1f07408fd04d473dab7fc8182f0a9517&ei=8 Tim actually makes a g...

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...

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...

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...

That's great!
Hopefully the later than planned date will increase the likelihood of decent weather.
If I remember correctly, the last two years were dry and sunny but very cold.

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 ...

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.

Is your Alexa still under warranty? I would return it, it seems to be broken...

So now we have cringe inducing child friendly ones. Boooo. Give me people being electrocuted by substations and mangled by trains any day! I always remember the "Robbie" film that was shown in schools. The one where the children were playing on railway tracks and one of them got his foot ...

Hi there Just rebuilding my 2.8 legs and noticed a slight weep on one of the inserts, Not wanting to drill out the bottom of the strut is there anyone out there that could rebuild my original inserts at all TIA Hi, You can send them off to Bilstein UK in Leicestershire. https://www.bilstein-shocks....

Today's is the most boring one ever !

Andrew.

Do you have a pic, I have a few bits & bobs which may suit? There are some operational details and a plumbing schematic diagram on this thread: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=34&t=1214521 I assume the valve required is shown at the bottom of the photo in the first p...

**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 ...

My favourite one for being incredibly patronising was the "Go left" from a few years ago. Look, it's "Les" from Phoenix Nights!

To be fair, car cassettes were by far the worst, I don`t recall ever having problems on a `proper` home machine. I guess the in-car environment didn`t help: cold, damp, vibration. I wonder if the cassette being laid horizontal in the car had anything to do with it? They might have been designed to ...

Fitted a bike frame to a Viper engine, you mean! Have you seen the size of one of those things?

I remember doing that too!
It goes without saying the games were generally not very good though.

The rapture you experience when you cut out the straggly bit and crudely stick the two good ends together with a tiny bit of sellotape and then manage to record the majority of the old compilation onto a fresh C90 in the other deck (yes did that!). Me too. And it was hugely satisfying! :D Andrew.
