Capri Crime

Advantages: thrilling, brill twist at the end
Disadvantages: none

She lives with her dog in her in-laws? villa on Capri, her husband works and stays mainly in Naples visiting her only occasionally, the persons she sees most often is her gay Italian neighbour and her cleaning lady. To occupy her mind she decides to write a book, she doesn?t have any special interests or qualifications, but the neglected villa adjoining hers, which once belonged to a well-known foreign aristocrat and paedophile, gives her the idea to write about this man.

Review of Capri File - Amanda Prantera

A Day In Capri Italy

Advantages: Lots to see and do
Disadvantages: not enough time

...~ A Day In Capri ~ We booked a day trip to capri with a representative from our hotel (we were staying at the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel) in Sorrento this trip cost approx £50.00 per person. We got the hydrofoil from the marina piccolo which takes about twenty to thirty minutes or so. As we approached Capri I was amazed at the view of elegant brightly coloured buildings and tropical trees and plants it really does take your breath away and looks a bit like Balamory with all the beautiful colours and shapes, I think you will see what I mean on the photo's. ~ AnaCapri ~ We got a minibus to AnaCapri which is the island's second (Ana-means other), quieter town with lovely little white houses halfway up the slopes of Monte Solaro (which is the highest point on capri), one of the highlights for me was the scenic...

Review of Capri (Italy)

When in rome..whatever, when in Naples.. go to Capri.

Advantages: Pure beauty in a tiny island
Disadvantages: VERY expensive

... ISLE OF CAPRI BAY OF NAPLES ITALY Ever since I read the book 'I Love Capri' by Belinda Jones I had wanted to visit the Isle of Capri. Capri is a small island in the Campania area of Italy off the spectacular Amalfi coast in the Bay of Naples. So when we went on holiday to the Bay of Naples, mainly to visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, we decided to take a trip to the island. From Naples, the ferry takes about 80 minutes and costs about Euro9,00, the hydrofoil takes about 40 minutes and costs Euro16,00 . From Sorrento, the ferry takes about 40 minutes and costs about Euro9,00 , while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes and costs about Euro12,00 . We decided to take the hydrofoil. The hydrofoil arrived at Marina Grande, which is small, bustling village and very beautiful. There are lots...

Review of Capri (Italy)

They should still make the Capri 1.6 today

Advantages: Easily worked on, Roomy, Sporty and stylish
Disadvantages: Doesnt hold road too well, rot patches

...cars had the same problem.....they all stated to rot under the rear hatch, right where the latch mechanism is. I tried alsorts from wax to underseal, but in the 10 years i had these cars, it couldnt stop the rot. The capri is great for moving stuff from A to B, its nobodys business what i have got in the back of the car as the seats go flat down and the rear hatch is wide. I used to be a plasterer at one point and everything went in the back including step ladders. Never had any real problems mechanically, except......now remember.....the Capri is made by Ford. And Ford around the time of the manufacture of the capri didnt like starting in damp weather. I had stating problems at some point with all three of them and it was always when the weather was wet. It was a normal procedure for me to spray Ether in the air filter intake to flare...

Review of Ford Capri 1.6

Capri 2.8i rocket

Advantages: A real classic car, cheaper at present
Disadvantages: Rust and boy racers (lol) and Police

...I am a bit bias of these but i will try my best to be fair, honest and proactive in my approach. Lets get it straight from the start if you require Air con, Rear seat comfort, good mpg, quiet running etc Do Not Buy This Car. But if you require pure grunt and power this is a must, they made several Capri's and this model was for me 2nd best as 1st place has to go to the Mk 1 RS 3.1 GXL these are the bees knees when it comes to power and head turning, but back to the 2.8, i have had many of these and if you don't mind the sometimes hard wallowy ride then this is for you, the 5spd gearbox model is slightly, very slightly slower than the 4spd Cologne engine version, as most 5spd version were Essex engined machines still beasts in their day but my personal preference is the Cologne. These cars are not for amature drivers nor are...

Review of Ford Capri 2.8 Injection

Fiori di Capri

Advantages: Scent, long lasting, unique
Disadvantages: price, difficulty to find

...The description of an essence is far more complex than the addition of formulas which jointly result in a perfume. Each component is especially chosen to represent a human characteristic, therefore making the perfume transcendent a single sense and, nearly define an entire personality. Fiori di Capri is the definition of class. The aroma is refined and utterly chic in a way that intimidates those who are not comfortable with luxury. Of all the perfumes I have encountered, Fiori di Capri is the most opulent without falling into the ridicule of excess. In order to understand Fiori di Capri, it is important to regard its origins and the legend which famed the creation of the Carthusia perfumery. Capri is a delightful island in the Bay of Naples and has been traditionally the home-in-the-sun for rich and powerful. There is something...

Review of Carthusia Fiori Di Capri Eau de Parfum

Ford will never again make such a brilliant car

Advantages: Great looks, relatively fast, a cheaper Mustang
Disadvantages: Rust, parts harder to find, handling problems

...I have always wanted a Ford Capri and finally managed to get a 1986 Mark III Laser in reasonable condition. I was slightly worried being a young driver whether or not I would enjoy driving the car, but I have totally fallen in love with it. I was drawn to the Capri by its wonderful looks, very similar to the Ford Mustang which I have always admired. I found however that the car has so much more. It is a wonderful car to drive, so long as a) you are not a boy racer, and b) you are not reliant on power steering and other modern gadgets. I say dont be a boy racer because you will kill yourself...a 2.0L may only have around 100bhp but it is a rear wheel drive car with inferior brakes to modern cars and on wet roads the Capri's tail will flick out if the car is not driven with the respect it deserves. And i say b) because this is a big...

Review of Ford Capri 2.0

The Car You Always Promised Yourself

Advantages: Looked like an expensive sports car
Disadvantages: Didn't perform like an expensive sports car!

...~ ~ The title of this review ?The Car You Always Promised Yourself? was part of the Ford advertising campaign for the Ford Capri when it was first released back in the late 1960?s and early 1970?s. It was designed to appeal to the hearts (and loins) of a motoring public at the time when the best affordable cars the motoring public were being offered in the UK were awful dogs of automobiles like the Austin 1100, Hillman Avenger, and Morris Marina. Indeed, my one and only Ford Capri replaced a bloody dreadful Austin 1100, which was about as much fun to drive as a three-wheeled bicycle! ~ ~ The Ford Capri was produced at the old Ford Halewood factory in Liverpool, and also over in Germany, and when it was first unveiled to the public at the Brussels Motor Show in January, 1969 it caused a major sensation in the motoring press. Based...

Review of Ford Capri 1.3

I Love Capri: Oustanding book!

Advantages: Amazing book!!!! Great Storyline, believable characters.
Disadvantages: You'll spend your life savings going to capri!!!

...Belinda Jones is one of my favourite authors, and this book is one of my favourite books ever! I read the book while at lake como in Italy, and it made me want to go to Capri so so much. The book not only has a wonderful storyline, but also sets such a romantic setting. Everytime you open the pages you get a sense of romance. Believe me when you read this book, you'll want to jump on a plane straight to capri! This really is a book that you won't want to put down!!! I recommend it to anyone who has read and enjoyed Belinda Jones books before, if you've never read Jones books before, but you like books by authors such as Jane Green, Marian Keyes, Cecilia Ahern. The story is that of translator Kim, whose Grandfather has just died. She has never met him due to a family scandel, when he had an affair with her Grandmother Carmela who...

Review of I Love Capri - Belinda Jones

Capri-Sun

Advantages: Good for quick drink, easily disposable
Disadvantages: Not enough in pouch, leaves you still feeling thirsty

...Capri-Sun is a brand of soft fruit drink that sells for £2.27 in Asda for 10 pouches, working out at roughly 22-23p per pouch. Each pouch is 200ml and is perfect for a quick drink due to the ability to dispose of it quickly via a bin etc. The packaging is superb and very secure, with a straw on the back of the pouch to ensure easy drinking. The only disadvantage of Capri-Sun drinks are that you feel like you are still really thirsty after you have finished drinking, and therefore I usually have to have another pouch to compensate this. The flavours that are available are orange, apple, blackcurrent (my personal favourite), strawberry, apple and blackcurrent, orange and tropical, tropical, starwberry kiwi, fruit punch, grape, red berry, lemonade, wild cherry and many others including sports collections. Capri-Suns are ideal...
