Lemmy`s a great bloke, the antithesis of the shallow fame-seeking wannabe celebs of today. IMHO.

Well if he's that old then I'm even more impressed.
It wasn't that long ago I last saw him and the old boy is certainly wearing well!

As mentioned in another thread, the Yorkshire ripper apparently had a Capri! So, I suppose he should make it onto the list, although more infamous than famous.

Hi,
Tiff Needell apparently owned one in 1980 while he was a F1 driver.

Yeah we recorded this. Starting watching it but as I was home so late we only watched a bit. Watching the rest of it tonight. Looks very good. Some great cars in it. Looking forward to seeing the Lacquer Red Capri :D

What is it with serial killers and the Capri? Seems to be the car of choice!

Hmmm, we know a few people who drive a lacquer red Capri. Must make a mental note not to get on the wrong side of them...... ;)
