The Ford Capri Laser Page

So, was watching Unforgotten last night with Mrs F and they were looking at photos of the victim back in 1990 and low and behold...

Yes I pointed that one out to the other half

There was one in the prog It's a Sin the other day. Not been watching it but the wife had freeze framed it as grey 2.8 drove through shot, couldn't make out the reg though.

Peter, Siobhan is getting more understanding when I stop the TV and grab my phone to take a picture. I only pause it for three reasons

1. Put the kettle on
2. Toilet break
3. IT'S A CAPRI.!!!

32, pah! Met the other half in 1982, married 3years later. Wedding car was a MKII Capri. I gave her fair warning

Good spot there sir , I did see it myself but I handed the remote to marie as she needs to get the hang of it now and then .

Three valid reasons Nick

Here is the one I mentioned, prog was still on disc

I've spotted some lovely old Ford's today!
A MK1 escort, two MK1 capris and what appears to be an Anglia estate??

10points to whoever can guess what it was I spotted them in....

A state of euphoria ?
I claim my 10 points.......or did you mean which film or TV programme?

Andrew.

Close Andrew, but I was actually a bit tipsy!

If anyone can guess the TV show I will be impressed though!

I don't know the show, but it looks like the guy from "Please Sir !". Is it?

Edit: John Alderton?

Well the pictures aren't great Nick but to me look a little like Eric Idle and Michael Palin so I'm going with a Monty Python sketch.

10points to Peter!
Monty Pythons Flying Circus - I saw it was added to Netflix so took the time to binge it while the better half was out yesterday

Apologies the picture quality isn't great - in my defence it was filmed in 1974 so not all my fault!

Nothing to do with me Peter Danny is guilty as charged and hes admitted so

Yes, I realised my faux pas after Danny answered but you both look so alike I get confused sometimes

That was my first thought - even the kids nearby look like the `Please Sir` ones. Then again, it was the `70s, we ALL looked like that
Surprised no-one spotted this car chase on `Ashes to Ashes.`

I recognised his face but couldn't remember Eric Idles name, but I thought it looked very Monty Python.

Loved by many I could never get into it.

Jesus I need to sort myself out if you think I look like Nick!
Last I checked I still had a bountiful head of hair

That makes three of us as regards to Please Sir, it was only because I know that film quite well and that I didn't recognise the scenes which stopped me saying it.

Well, nearly TV, YouTube on my telly. Goodwood road and race channel have just (well, last week) posted the 78th member meeting historic races, Jake Hill in a 3 litre Capri drifting it round goodwood being chased by a 302 boss mustang in 1 race and a Camero in the other. Absolute nip and tuck, big American V8s pulling away on the straights, nimble Capri dancing around them in the twisties. Marvellous stuff. And the 3 litre sounds epic on the onboard. If anyone is interested in such things that is.
