Nice Ron and you got the missus in there with you.

I hope she didn't react like Mrs Patrese in this clip.

Great clip Steve.

Two things though, my wife is too much of a lady to use such foul language, she just grabs my bollocks 'till I slow down...believe me she's done it.....

Also, what a woos he is, taking her around a circuit in a car with a tin roof. All my missus had between her and the sky was a bobble hat!

Cheers,

Ron

Brilliant clip steve, hilarious. Great to see ricardo again too, a much underrated driver and a true gent , although maybe his missus would dispute that last one!! cheers tony

Tony, I must confess I wasn't looking at Patrese, guess where?

Now't like a tight fitting seat belt....Oh no! I wanted a late night, here comes you know who with that needle again. I have a plan to stop here sticking it in my...........

OK not sure about that bond bug, but the rest of your toys past muster Ron. Love the Panther!

A 22 window bugbus! Would love some of that, and a copper S. A real one and not that BMW thing that thinks its a mini.

Saw Fools and Horses yesterday and Graham in his plastic pig sprang to mind the second I saw it! LOL.

Ian, it wasn't the Bond Bug, that was the orange thing shaped like a wedge of cheese.

My Bond, which I bought in 1974 was one of the originals, complete with slot in perspex windows, an all aluminium body, first built in 1963 (I think). It didn't have a starter and because it had a 250cc motor bike engine, I had to lift the bonnet and whilst my wife held it open, climb into the 'Engine compartment' and kick started it. Later models had what was called a dynostart which allowed you to start it with a key!

Great memories...

The perfect excuse to show some of my babys off, you may see a pattern here but i've had Cortina's in all the mk's. The 72' mk3 Tina GLX was nice until someone thought it was his and took it, the engine was out of the rally prepared mk2 Escort (that i killed) so it was quick, too quick for him though. I've always loved the Capri and i've had a few of them too, the purple one was a 2.8i. The white & blue cars are both 1.6 same as the one i still have, i don't need speed now so i just enjoy the cruising and it's great on fuel too.

This one i love because i still have it.

Have fun, John

Fantastic john, i had 2 capris and still love them now, great stuff! tony

[Guest]

Beautiful babies their John, now the Capri could shift,unless the good old gear box kept sticking in 2nd( or was that just mine..)......very well kept Capris, beautiful condition.

[spanner570]

Good to see you back having fun John.

Superb wheels, all of them. I bet you don't have to lift the bonnet and kick start those beauts like I had to with the old Bond three wheeler! lol

I was fortunate enough to have a Capri in 1984, nothing special.....But my then 14 yr. old son thought it was, and 'Borrowed' it when my wife and I where away one w/end.

It ended up a rightoff when he tried to drive it through a lovely dry stone Welsh wall......I told him it was O.K., just one of those things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
