Re: I've had a spandau ballet moment

I decided this much is true After Dave helping me out so much, I donated as soon as my new job pay check came through. Are we gonna make up some t-shirts and some window stickers with this money? My capri club have some cool window stickers of just the URL. Looks simple and effective! I wouldnt mind...

Re: Bo££*£s, been rear ended

Like Matt said, Mauler had the car wrote off over 200 quid damage in the same type of accident. The car was ok... I know cos I bought it. Only thing that has lasted is the back bumper is slightly twisted, but I never got round to straightening out the bracket. Other than that, the 'written off' car ...

Re: indicator relays

Check your hazzard switch is connected as your indicators wont work without it plugged in. If its ok, Caedes is right,You need to take off the right kick panel section under the dash. Then get a flash light and do a quick warm up..... e.g. jog on the spot etc. This will help you twist into yoga type...

Re: Fecking Half shaft bearing kit!!!!

Great news..... The mechanic took the half shaft and the kit into the motor factors which he is friendly with. Showed the boss the problem, and had a pair of Vernier calipers to show that the shaft and retaining ring was 30mm. The boss checked another parts supplier and it showed that the ring shoul...

Fecking Half shaft bearing kit!!!!

Finally got round to doing the back bearings after a thorough diagnosis of which side it was. Got a set kits ordered in especially and every piece of information on doing them. Booked it in with a mate who has a country style garage with a lift. At 10.30pm, after fighting to get the half shaft out, ...

Re: Most expensive capri??

I was told a 280 with 10K miles was bought for just under 20K... by the man who bought it.

Saying that... it was basically a brand new capri!!

Re: club name

Thats a great name stalker, that website url would be worth a few bob too... but is it unique enough?? It would be my preferred name.

I don't mind the Capri Laser Name and we have traded under for years but people still think we are club of people who own lasers. Think it throws people off.
