The Ford Capri Laser Page

Thanks gents for your kind words! I’m only red through gushing!

Hey John.

Mate what a great video fella !! Great you filmed Andrew leaving too. He had a long journey ahead of him. How stunning does his 2.8i look
Some great footage of mine too mate. Good to see how it looks from behind after getting that suspension work done. Well pleased. Thanks for the video

John love the soundtrack too but this does no justice to how bleedin good your sound system actually sounds as myself and Jason heard for ourself to our amazement. Wow !!!

Twas a great day indeed John and your 2.8i Special always looks so amazing. Will be in touch ref 'project transparent boot'

All the best

Nick

Great pics guys! I have a few pics as well, great videos John, loving that! I had a boat party to go to in the heart of London so I left and drove straight to Tower Millenium Pier, my Capri coped with the traffic well, and despite people's concerns, it wasn't on bricks when I got back! I then had an awesome blast home later that night!

Thanks to all those that came from far & wide, it was a brilliant day, great to catch up with a lot of you. Next year Ace is under debate as Surrey Capri Club has to concentrate on Brooklands 50th & with the Lancaster Bomber photoshoot/50th celebrations in Lincolnshire just a month before, it may be too tight, we'll see what happens

Kris

I did do this post but will re do again .

First love the video of leaving and following Nicks capri , but I still can’t get over your hi fi set up and to get the results from the same speakers we both have . I do have this on my list of projects but after hearing the sound it’s going to the top of the list .
Just love it John .

Catch up soon mate

Jason

Nice pics guys. Looks like a great day out, especially from Wales!

So I have seen a very nice picture on Facebook but can I copy the picture of some of our cars in here , I can’t ask the person who took the picture because I can’t find it again “ what am I like “ and I bet in the end it was one of us ?

Morning All,
If I may, I'll add a few more photos from the day. They aren't as good as Nick's or Neil's, but hopefully there will be some cars there that aren't shown in the photos already posted. I'll separate the photos into three sections - forum cars, standard (ish) and modified cars.
Where better to start than the fantastic cars of this forum.

Kris can go first as he organised the meet!

Great meet....I'm still buzzing with excitement!
Cheers,

Thanks Andrew,
Some great looking Capris in great weather Back to the usual Summer rain today

As always Andrew some great shots there as normal , I do think your the forums head photograph . Yes was a great day I spoke with Nick yesterday as said hope more to come . It was hot that day and now the weather seems normal again with rain , hope the weather been kind to all at the Essex meet today .

Also I will say again thank you for coming to the ace Andrew as you know how shocked I was to see you in the car park as I said to my dad “ Christ wait till I tell Andrew there’s a Capri that’s spot on with his “ until I read the number plate about 5 times and then it clicked .

Thanks Jason, and thanks to everybody for giving such a warm welcome on the day to an intruder from the West! Thanks for the drink, by the way
As you say, it was very hot on the day, and it was getting to me a bit by the end. Business as usual today though!
Hopefully the poor weather won't affect the turn out at a big show like Battlebridge.

Hi Andy. Yes, there were some very nice cars indeed. The people, cars and the sunshine made for a brilliant day.

Andrew.

I found this picture on Facebook that I just fell in love with more to do as my car was at the front , really sorry if I have nicked somebody’s picture but I think as it’s so good it should be shown .

Jason




Admin if it’s not right in using somebodys picture please remove but it’s really sums up a great day

Hi Jason,
That is a great photo, yours and John's cas bother look superb. Neil has posted that same photo earlier in the thread though.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the extra pictures mate. They are brilliant fella. Nice one ! Really enjoyed looking through them bringing back some lovely memories of a stunning day at The Ace !! We did the forum proud with our turnout. Nine forum capris if you include Danny's double show oh make that ten with Kris and his wonderful 2.0S !!!!

Andrew I have to say mate and I have said it before that your 2.8i really is an amazing Capri and to have it grace the North London roads was great !! Glad you go 'out' of the smog ok and back across the water to the safety of Wales although I heard the Severn Bridge was closed due to staff shortage ? As Jason and others have said though was really good to see you in North London mate

Anyway as said mate great pics and all the forum Capri's are a credit to their owners indeed. What a variety we had to Its great seeing the moda owners have done to theirs and getting ideas

Jason I agree mate, that is a great picture indeed of yours and Johns in a line up. You should get it framed mate !! Both looking superb. Hope you hah it parked in gear as that camber in the carpark was pretty severe looking at this pic again

All the best chaps

Nick

Hi Nick,
Thanks to you, and all the others for your kind words.
I heard on the radio that the Severn bridge was closed, but I think that was the original one, not the new bridge that was open as normal.

I had a great day out in London, but I didn't get very far before I attracted the attention of the local constabulary.
I was crawling in traffic along the North Circular when a Plolice car drew alongside in the outer lane. I could see the nice officer in the passenger seat was looking at my car. I then saw the window being opened.....you can imagine what was going through my mind, but he only wanted to have a quick chat about my car. He asked how long I'd owned it and passed a few compliments my way about the condition. Phew!

Andrew.

B975GAV looks intriguing (Damn there goes my V8 thing again)

It appears to have the same rear silencers as A304PAT. Nice looking exhaust and it suits both cars. I have seen a similar style on a Capri before, think it's custom made.....Definitely not Sportex or Janspeed!

Great extra pictures Andrew, it did look a brilliant day out. Glad you all enjoyed

Hi Andy,
Obviously I guessed that the 5.7 was a Chevy engine, but I've just noticed that it's got the Bowtie on the grille, not a Ford badge. Never noticed that before...
Looks like an amazing car, but I'm not sure what exhaust it is. Definitely not a Sportex, as you say.
