The Ford Capri Laser Page

I wonder if we can do tours round the JCB Factory! I'll look into it.

In some parts of the world its dangerous to leave your home, a good friend went to Brazil for work last year. in the evening he got dressed up and was about to leave the hotel and was stopped by the doorman, apparently if he went out of the hotel on foot he would be abducted and his family would be...

the first Capri's off the line Tut tut! :lol: Andrew. Oh I was well aware :D But there is a rule whereby a word may not appear correct or become changed without extra punctuation. So, it could become Capriss, rhymes with kiss. See? That's why, you will note, I usually add the apostrophe :) See me a...

Some of the sillier PIFs we have today..

Man's dog gets him killed



Man's bike, nagging wife and low intelligence gets him killed



Lad's walkman, blindness and changing the rules of how level crossings work to fit the stupid narrative gets him killed

On the subject of train safety, I'm fascinated by these street running trains that run in some of America's small towns. I would imagine that the H&S police in the UK would have a fit with massive freight trains mixing with traffic and pedestrians on the public highway! :lol: BRZkMoi2at8 Andrew...

To feel safe as I live on my own I have a cricket bat under my bed. The bastards would be knocked out of the ground if I could get up quick enough. Well this is the insane thing about the law today: if you have that cricket bat for self-defence, you are on the wrong side of the law. If you happen t...

We empower people in the wrong ways too. A feeling of entitlement won't save you from a criminal that does not care about society or the rules. But you're not longer allowed to carry a weapon for self defence, like the old "life preserver' leather bound, weighted cudgels from the Victorian era....

Let him that is without sin eh???

Tee hee

There's just something about car assembly line and factory pics. This is Halewood January 1969. Makes you think doesn't it, I know my Capri came from the Reich, but it was still built by a bunch of men, all in one factory essentially. Today it's bits from here, computers from there, shared bodies, ...

Welcome to the forum! I didn't think The Kinks were into their cars

..it's getting more and more common to hear this phrase. "Women don't feel safe walking through a city at night", for instance. Telling people they should "feel safe" is some of the worst advice society gives out. There is a huge difference between "feeling" safe and ac...

As my olde mate (God rest his soul) used to say when you feel embarrassed or you're unexpectedly on the spot.. "feel the rush!"

Love the pub analogy. Was it Oscar Wilde that said: "there's only one thing worse than being talked about... Not being talked about."

I wonder how the members would feel if/when they pop back though and see that they're being talked about? :? Same way you and I will feel when somebody dredges up one of our posts... there are a few (most to be honest!) I've made 10-15 years ago that are so cringe to me now.... I could delete them,...

Today's winner should have gone a lot further than it did, I remember that thread, but I don't remember the colossal levels of utter tripe that the birthday boy contributed to it, nor "the owner" (yeah right) of that stolen Capri chastising us for not dobbing in this Simon Cox guy to the c...

Now this is what I call a Public Information Film, what to do in the event of a nuclear war. Protect And Survive, with the voice of the formidable Patrick Allen. https://youtu.be/7yrv505R-0U https://player.bfi.org.uk/sites/default/files/hero-images/1d639a5d66c8a40ac3f4bf5bc72401f9.jpg Good old Prot...

So now we have cringe inducing child friendly ones. Boooo. Give me people being electrocuted by substations and mangled by trains any day! I always remember the "Robbie" film that was shown in schools. The one where the children were playing on railway tracks and one of them got his foot ...

Reported for being heightist. Shit. Ok here goes... Dear fellow Laser Pagers, I recently wrote a reply on this thread, in which I referred to a green-suited gentleman. In my unthinking, straight white-man's hateful colonial ignorance, I referred to him as short. I have since reviewed this post and ...

Yours in fearful, grovelling servility, Major Tom Citizen 76854 / 2 Municipal Block Epsilon Rabbit Hutch End Megacity 1 ... there. Hopefully my social credit score won't be too badly hit! :lol: But Megacity One? You're not a neighbour of Judge Dredd are you. I thought someone would get that referen...

:lol: Today's is the most boring one ever ! :lol: Andrew. :lol: :lol: :lol: We're worse than old ladies on the bus, "oooh you'll never guess what that capri_car_boy said! Oooh he turned the air blue he did!' But yes I thought he was going to get juicy at one point, but it never really did, he w...
