Where did you go Tom, 1984 ?

Looked at many cars in the 80s with one of these s-l500.jpg Bought a Capri Cameo when It was 2 years old with 6 miles on the clock, oh, and one of those stickers :lol: . Price was good though :D Who remembers those useless 'anti static' strips on the bumpers too.. https://i.postimg.cc/PxBqsGF3/2020...

Yes, lots of good punch ups, including them driving a mk1 escort up the staircase of a nightclub to fight the bad guys

Just been looking through some pics on flickr of Glasgow in the 90s, this one includes an E-reg capri - unusually it's not a brooklands runout etc but a humble 2.0 laser! https://www.flickr.com/photos/aqualite/4989301414/in/album-72157624827810119/ Nice find, can't be too many of those around on an...

Brilliant laugh, bought this on DVD a few years ago. Good grass track race in the start of the film then they compete all through the film to win a beach buggy. Very of it's time but if you like '70s cars (& bikes) it's worth a look.

This was meant to be a sort of successor to the Professionals, but it never quite gained enough popularity. :? I don't recall watching it at the time, strange how things come back around :) Nor me, remember her but not the programme. She missed out there, could have been sat next to me in a red Cap...

I know Peter, I've seen the pictures

Good luck with getting it sorted Hamish.

This was meant to be a sort of successor to the Professionals, but it never quite gained enough popularity. Should have used Capris, would have been far more popular. Tell you what mate Glynis still looks great..... :) https://i.postimg.cc/j2vJVq4d/115653290902ef9a09fc8b5e46ae5274-glynis-barber-bar...

Hope you get it sorted soon. Cheers Paul, looks like all is ok. I’ve just checked our car (2.3S): the seals are flush. My suggestion: lightly lubricate the seals with brake fluid Thanks for checking Steve, I know different engines have different cylinders, some flush reservoirs & some not :head...

Hi Paul, yes all correct, bought it from Martin at Caprigear. May be the angle I took picture. Wanted to get the gap in view.

First proper drive above ^^^^^^ in a car I have had nearly 6 years. Needless to say it was far worse than it first appeared. Must have been a good feeling driving It after all that time. Capri is looking good, especially after looking at the before pics in your ‘thread revival’ post. Nice job :chee...

Had a refurbished Brake master cylinder fitted 2 years ago and it’s recently developed a leak on both reservoir seals. Have replaced seals & reservoir, does anyone know if this is how it should look as there’s a small gap between reservoir & seal. No amount of pressure seems to close the gap...

Happy Birthday Jason

That looks great, nice job. Good looking car too.

Took the words right out of my mouth Hamish . Nice work Nick, waiting for the next instalment

Well I got it back, it's loads more fluid all through the rev range, lots of torque but the HP is well down, like 50 horses down! But it fucking goes 🤔 didnt get a torque reading though because I didn't ask because I am a scatterbrain and just forgot. The old rollers it was done on 9 years back wer...

Going back next month as I love the smell of melting tyres in the morning
