Thieving cunts

Daves was attacked not more than a couple of weeks ago now this one

These cars still attract the wrong sort of attention despite their age. Hope it turns up undamaged. Remember this car from a few shows and it was lovelly, real credit to the owner

Topics also on RSOC and my website.
If it comes on ebay under that reg (doubful I know) then someone will spot it.

Just be aware that the thief could well be looking on the boards so be careful of what you post reference 'special/ one-off' bits that could show the car's XTR otherwise they may change them to disguise it.
Good luck mate.

You say you only had it 4 days.Do you know the previous owner well??
Has been done before ,as the person you bought it off knows where you live due to log book having to be posted by him and he,s probably got a spare set of keys.

Was it on the drive/garaged,stolen night /day.?
Also were you insured so you can at least get some money back?
Hope you find it ,but as you've said the thieving scum will prabaly get away with it.

I met the guy (Brian) who sold it when we looked round it. NOOOOO way is he involved. Top genuine bloke from what i could see and what Rob said about him after the sale. I do see your point and can see why that would happen but that is not the case this time. I have just spoken to Rob and he said the police would ring today to let him know what (if any) developments had taken place but no word from them yet.

Sounds to me like you were followed.Don,t think they would have just been passing.
Iv'e been followed a couple of times but always lost them.Was follwed to a petrol station once and the guy got out of his car ,came over and said " nice car ,do you want to sell it"? His next question was "what security has it got on it" I said no thanks.

Any thing like that happen to you,just a thought.

Brian don't let all the distingushing features public as the internet maybe the reason it's not with the owner now. The police is the people that need to know.
