The Ford Capri Laser Page

Back on subject, I think that was Rob osbornes old one held together with gaffer tape! Was a bit rough when it went to Aylesford last year. Been tidied up a wee bit obviously! Looks quite nice. Rare car indeed but I’d be cautious buying it because you never know how well it’s been patched up! I kno...

You have Maiden tats Andy?! Gotta offer a pic if so! Loved them for years, seen them several times, every album etc. I have Killers and The Trooper tattoo, both old now and showing their age a little. Saw them in Birmingham 2011 supported by Airbourne :cool: We left early as the Mrs was feeling a b...

In life there are some faces you just want to thump, and his is one

On the Classic Albums series featuring Iron Maiden, their producer Martin Birch was so affected by strange goings-on during sessions for The Number Of The Beast including lights apparently switching on and off by themselves, that he refused to pay a garage bill which totalled £666 after his car cras...

my father didnt even stop, he said '' I am not buying that its green'' and we turned around and drove home. Apparently he believed green cars were unlucky. Oh wow, my Mum used to say that too. Wonder where that came from. Heard that too. Around 1985 I had a Crystal Green Mk3 Escort as did a couple ...

Very nice car for the price https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1704058

Sadly 6/7 years until tax exempt so by then the yearly cost could be really expensive.

This has not sold in about 5 years now.. maybe more. Weird how some cars just do not sell. Tbh, I'd be put off by the seller's attitude. I think it comes across as extreme arrogance to list in the advert reasons why they won't respond to certain messages. Gives totally the wrong impression from the...

Not everyone wants a LHD car and I think they are more to insure? Some sellers are stubborn on price too!

I went in a chinese takeaway having mistaken it for a newsagent. I asked for twenty number 6 and to my horror got 500 prawn balls!

Looks a bit like Fray Bentos, remember those? Love em. When I was alot lot younger I had one on Sundays as I didn't like roast dinners. Think they did an individual size which is about the family size now. Still have them from time to time and still a bugger to get it out the tin :lol: I do like a ...

"Ruined" by Ford?

In my opinion yes, but I suppose at the time it made sense.

Can't argue with that!

Well you could Paul but you'd be wrong

And don't get me started on petrol prices! Local Esso garage yesterday was just under £1.70 litre for E5 About 25p litre more than E10

Never owned or driven a Granada, but nice car and often towards the cheaper end of the Ford market.

When I renewed my insurance last month I enquired if fitting security would reduce the premium, the answer was "sadly not much these days". Apparently thieves are so clever these days they either bypass the security or arrive with a low loader and high Vis jacket. I was also warned if it ...

A warm-up for other events later in the year!
I take it that's at the Re:Fuel cars and coffee meet in Cullompton?

Andrew.

Yes we have plenty of shows planned.

Yes it's at Cullompton just up the M5 from Exeter.

Nice little gathering, and it's good to be able to get out and about so early in the year. :D Your XR looks fantastic! Andrew. Thanks Andrew. It was a bit chilly but stayed dry, and a nice 40 mile run this morning. This was instead of the Weston Super Mare show that should have been today, but thin...
