  2. So I am a day behind with Name That Car updates, so this is Thursday's car, which was this very splendid, Ford Capri MkI in very period yellow with black vinyl roof, which I suspect would have been a sought-after option to complete the sporty look.

  7. Popped to the supermarket this afternoon to pick up a few groceries. Spotted this 'live in the flesh' for the first time in the car park.

    OMG, what were Ford thinking, to take a European design favourite and convert it to a mobile washing machine 🤣

  9. Dear UK car nerds...

    It's been a long time since I've sat in a MGB GT (~1996) and even longer since I've sat in a Mk1 Capri (~1983).

    How do these cars compare to one another when sitting in the cabin?

    Does one have a better feeling of quality?

    Does one feel more comfortable for a six foot tall person? I don't remember feeling cramped in either but that was decades ago and 40 lbs lighter. Ha.

  11. It's sunny here this morning.
    My solar panels are aligned for afternoon sun.
    However. I'm still able to charge my EV car from solar, albeit slowly (currently at 7.56kW)
    Proof, if needed, that solar panels don't need full sun to work.

  13. The car didn't charge during yesterday's Octopus free electricity session, nor did it charge overnight.
    So I've missed out on the free session and the overnight cheap rate because I need to put some juice in the thing before we go to our daughter's later
    Grrrrr

    I think the blame might lay at the door of an update to the app from Ford.
    I've followed the suggestions on the Book of Faces and will try again tonight.

  15. Immer mehr #Autohersteller setzen auf den Retrotrend, um ihre #Elektromodelle emotional aufzuladen.

    Klassiker wie der #Renault5, #FordCapri oder #IDBuzz feiern als Stromer ein Comeback. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Design, sondern auch um den "sentimentalen Wert" bekannter Marken.

    Moderne Designs allein überzeugten viele Kundinnen und Kunden bisher nicht.

  17. So far today has been a qualified success STORY.

    The car dash cam fitter turned up on the stroke of 8am and was finished in about 45 minutes. The bill was more than expected (due to the quote excluding VAT).

    We've discovered bits of the new car that we hadn't looked at before.
    Found the tyre pump and the sealant (which won't get used).
    Found out why the front 'fog lamps' are called 'poor condition lamps'.
    Worked out how to fold the back seats down.

    The garden pond Level sensing device arrived and is fitted & connected to the app. The freezer temperature probes arrived and are also linked to the app.

  19. Sacha has left me in charge of the cat and the cooker while she is out getting her nails done (something I don't really understand, but it pleases her).
    I am determined not to confuse the cat with the cooker when it comes to turning the vegetables on at the determined time.

    In the meantime, I'm sitting on the patio in the last of the afternoon sun listening to Bossa Nova and admiring my earlier gardening efforts.

    We've had a message to say that Sacha's new car (#motability) should be ready for collection soon after the 10th June - so the excitement will be ramping up.
    That poor EV charger need feel unloved no longer.

  21. A bit of a late start for me - but I've been busy adulting.

    The solicitor I need to talk to about our daughter has finally, finally responded (with a half hearted apology). Now all we need to do is pay them and set up the appointment.
    What other type of shady business requires payment up-front to talk about a job they might or might not be able to do?

    I've got the kitchen floor washed and the cat litter tray clean. The bins are emptied. Several small spiders are now homeless.

    Talking of Kit the new #cat - she is going out into the garden for brief explorations, but not staying out much.

    We've got a trip out this afternoon - we'll stop off at a new (to us) cafe for a light lunch at Ulverscroft Grange #Leicestershire - it has good reveiws from some of my Tai Chi pals. Afterwards - we're talking about changing Sacha's #motability car. We're hopinng to go full #EV with a #FordCapri

    We've got a Tesco delivery due at around 6pm - and..... that's it for #Today.

    Have a good 'un pals

  23. Tomorrow is March.
    Sacha has a #motability car lease which means that we have to change our car every three years - which is a mixed blessing.
    There's a window between when she *can* order a new car and when she *must* have ordered one. That window opens at the end of March.

    Advice we're seeing from other Motability customers is that we need to have made our choice as soon as possible before the window opens - partly because of some extremely long delivery times.
    Of course, the complication is that the list of available cars changes at the start of April!

    We've started looking at EVs and are currently smitten with the Hyundai Ioniq5, but we are going to look at the Skoda Enyaq and the badly named Ford Capri in the next couple of weeks.
    Test drives upcoming!

  25. I'm sorry Ford, but you cannot launch a new car model, call it a Capri, and have it look like this.

    You just can't.
