For Sale: Ford Capri Laser
--------------------------

Engine Size: 2000cc.

Registration: 'D' (1986)

Mileage: 92,000

Colour: Dark Silver

Price (UK Sterling): 450 o.n.o

This vehicle is in great mechanical condition. However, the body is
showing signs of age and requires attention.

Recent additions include new battery, front brakes and starter motor. In
the two years I've had it, the exhaust, tyres and rear brakes have also
been replaced.

Interested parties should reply to this address or call 0131 229 4890.

Of course! They weren't an optional extra.

No way. They are for Cortina drivers.

Doesn't need em. Its a Capri (Laser at that). You can't make it go
faster without changing the laws of physics, captain.

Was this thing parked outside the breakers yard at the bottom of Steads
place (off Leith Walk where I live) at any time this weekend? There was
definitely a Capri Laser out there either saturday or sunday afternoon.
I'll pass no comment on condition etc.

And "TRACY" and "KARL" written in LARGE letters on the top of the windscreen.


OK. Who wants to suggest a suitable bumper sticker?

"Make love not war, see driver for details"
or maybe
"My other car's a heap of shit too"
