The Ford Capri Laser Page

Your right I can remember seeing them race on the tv when I was very young with my grandfather owning a mk1 capri with my dad joking about that is how my grandfather would drive home and my Nan saying don't give him any thoughts of doing that .
Sundays were special with dinner in the afternoon the room full of smoke and me asking if I could have a fag to do the magic rings .

Good times then and no worrys .

Do you remember this advert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF-KJ5-KNQk?

Well its been happening to me in my Golf and I thought it was the seat moving. Sit there nothing going, car not moving, rock side to side and the seat moves around and I get that squeak. Simples I think the guides are worn, quick search on ebay and for a few quid I buy myself some nice new plastic guides for both seats. And today I fit them the seats are nice and tight now, so I thinks it's gunna be squeak free now. Drives to pick the daughter up from work and its still squeaking just like before

So I'm like the bloke in the advert grabbing everything trying to find the source of this annoying squeak! Then I find it...... its the seat belt. Every time you pull even slightly on the belt it squeaks Now I just need the rain to stop so I can get out there with the old oil can

I remember the ad....Great looking car too (For a non )

Re rattles and squeaks; Just turn the radio up a bit more, or fit a louder exhaust

Sodding rain again........

That advert brings back memories! The other area to cause squeaks on Golfs were the rear seat catches. A finger full of grease on each one usualyl did the trick! The seat runners do like a tiny bit of grease on them as well.

Cheers Paul, I'll get the grease gun out tomorrow

You bought a Mk2 GTI yet? Get in quick, there's still some good buys out there

No, not yet, just bought a 2.0S Capri instead. Got to sell my kit car, Rover SD1 Vitesse and probably the Fiesta then might get one.

I like the Rover SD1, a mate locally has several mostly in disrepair

The Mk2 Fiesta should sell easily too (No, I haven't got the room)

Goodness me, yes Haven't seen that for ages, amazing what you forget about.

Wonder if today's lollies will be remembered in 40 years time?!

Nice one Paul.
Had a few Fabs and Rockets in my time

Couldn't tell you what the modern Lollies are now tbh

I think that I would enjoy every one of those in that picture Don't they just look so tasty.

Remember doing just that as a kid from the ice cream van on the beach over the course of a campervan holiday in Bournemouth. Happy times, Fab my favourite by far though

Some familiar faces here I used to like Rollerball Rocco

The best kids show ever? It's got to be a contender but I'm glad that they changed Bungle, that one looks scary!

Next to Tiswas it probably was one of the best.....I watched that a lot, Zippy was great Rod, Jane and Freddy there too
Bungle looks like he's taken something

Runaround, Take Hart, Trumpton, Camberwick Green, HOW, Banana Splits and Bagpuss too

All classics which you name there Andy, every one of them. Incidentally the guy who played that scary Bungle went on to voice K-9 in Doctor Who.

Really...... I watched Dr Who with Tom Baker, but never a huge fan of any of the others.

Who was your favorite? http://img.bidorbuy.co.za/image/upload/ ... jacket.jpg

Mr Bump for me
