My thoughts on the Ford Capri (not good !), Verstappen being a child and the London E-Prix !

What do you think of the brand-new Ford Capri? Did act like a child or have a point?

    Evening everybody. Hope everybody is doing well. I think personally Ford is really destroying their reputation here in europa. The only good car they sell here is the mustang. Talking about the dark horse. Ford really need go back to the focus fiesta hot hatch

    Evening all. I agree with you on Ford. As you said they could have done something very cool with an all electric fiesta. Maybe make it super retro and cool. And why not make an EV coupe and call it capri? Like a lot of manufacturers. They are really struggling to move in to an EV era and make the cars attractive to buyers. Re hashing old names in boring SUVs isn’t going to do it.

    Good Afternoon Folks. Huge misstep by Ford on the Capri, though I wasn’t a huge fan of them using the Mustang name for the Mach-E either.

    Evening Pete. Verstappen is fast becoming the most disliked F1 driver in history let alone currently.
    However he is also one of the reasons so many people tune in to watch. Whether that’s to see him win or pray he loses.

      He’s actually the reason I stopped watching. He’s a divisive prick, and it just makes F1 unpleasant.

    Evening all hope everyone is well. New Capri? Not sure, but it’s the 4th time the Capri name has been used so they are not all the same shape.

    I have a Capri 280 Brooklands and completely understand the revulsion against the new Capri from the fans of the classic … but time moves on … the laws regarding electric cars are horrifically unfair IMHO – maybe a rear wheel drive hybrid Coupé would have been a less aweful reimagining of the Capri

    Believe it or not, I’m actually listening to part of the midweek live whilst stuck for the past hour on the Dartford Crossing. Had a wonderful Saturday at the London e prix👍🏽

    North America has had to endure the dilution of what a Mustang was “supposed” to be. The traditionalists were laughed at over their “reactionary” response. I’m saddened to see Europe undergo the same treatment by Ford as regards its Capri.
    I don’t have the figures, but I imagine Ford and Mustang brand managers found brand/nameplate dilution a profitable venture.
    (Sigh…)
    Perhaps removing or covering the badges of a Ford Capri vehicle would be telling the corporation “where to go.”
    Me? I might enjoy modifying my hypothetical Capri CUV badge to “Crapi.”
    What can I say? I’ve grown comfortable looking like (and sounding like) a pillock everywhere I go.
    Aloha!

    Couldn’t agree more on your comments Re. Max Verstapen. Unsporting brat from day one.
    He has been double moving since he first Came onto the F1 grid. And he doesn’t seem to be penalised I the way any driver should.
    Keep up the work, and good luck with the garage.

    I don’t think launching the Capri in Lego®️ yellow was a eise move. Using the Capri name doesn’t bother me, but I think Ford has lost it’s way just now….and it may struggle to get back to where it was. They should have something to compete with the brilliant wee Picanto.

    The new Capri is gopping. You can see a hint of the original Capri in the rear door glass where it meets the quarter panel but that’s about it. Clearly there isn’t (wasn’t?) a market for an affordable two door, four seat sports coupé (A5, E-Class, CLK, BMW, Jaaag XK) as everyone seems to want a generic SUV?! Ford could potentially have sold many, many of them to those of a certain generation (like myself) who always wanted the car you always promised yourself…

    Max is an arse, just like his dad. Always has been always will be and clearly his race engineer came close to telling him so in no uncertain terms on Sunday. The Capri, apart from misusing the name seems ok to me, until you find out its a VW underneath based on their now outdated EV platform.

    Off to Spa tomorrow for the GP on our way to holibobs in South of France.

    Have to agree with everything you said about Verstappen………When Hamilton went from hero to zero, he just got on with it, that’s class!!

    Completely agree about Ford. Many other brands obviously think there’s a market for small EVs and I think they’ve made a mistake dropping Fiesta. As for that Capri, yet another bland SUV. Why?

    As an ex owner of a capri I think Ford have lost the plot with putting the capri name on a SUV . As for cry baby verstappen he’s been at the front for so long he’s forgotten how to overtake without blue flags letting him through.😂😂

    Hi Pete, thanks for the video – excellent. I totally agree with what you say about Max – a spoilt brat. Also I’m with you about the Capri. As a 4 Capri owner (not all at once!), the new car is a travesty. I Hope the garage is all you were hoping for.

    Are you paying your contractors in cash? Man that’s a fast build! Congrats!😂 Could not care less about the Capri. It’s another EV appliance. I appreciate companies like Alfa attempting to make an EV with soul.

    Great video. Wrt Verstappen, you see people’s true character when under pressure and he lacks the class of previous world champions (eg Schumacher, Hamilton, Stewart, Hill etc). But in a sport obsessed with results, not sure anyone cares. Re Capri, not just use of the name an issue but it’s just another characterless electric box!
