Default YELLOW DAX RUSH STOLEN FROM WALES - cars been stripped :(

my dads mates car was stolen on friday night from the hotel car park somewhere in wales.

not sure where in wales but when i find out i'll post it up.

It's bright yellow with 17" rundells with toyo tyres.

some things that are noticable about it are:

the pipercross filter that sticks outside the bonnet is upseide down.
black and yellow seats
all perspex side doors instead of the leather ones with plastic windows.
got the dax exhaust (4-1 outside the side of the car)


it has a 2ltr zetec engine on throttle bodies.


Reg is: H17 DAX

pm me if you hear anything.

the man that built this spent day after day finishing it to a VERY high standard.
its his pride and joy and he is currently a lost man walking around wales looking for his car.


that 2 people i know whos car has been stolen this weekend

cheers mate.

losing a car is bad enough is bad enough, but when u know every bolt on the car and have built it all, taken it apart re built, and had a million and one nice comments about how well its been finished and how nice it looks it really must hurt.

well the car has been found, or at least whats left of it.

just the chassis!

turns out it wasnt the one flying up the M6 last night. wish it was as at least it would still be in one piece.

so if anyone hears of bits that may be from a rax rush (caterham 7 lookalike) please let me know so i can tell the owner.

i can get the engine number and other details like that to confirm if bits have come from his car.


let just hope the insurance pays out with out to many problems.

yeah its on the rush owners club website.

would love for all car theifs to have something that means a lot to them stolen and then watch it get run over by a 16 wheeler.

then rap a fucking baseball bat round their head a few times

Absolutely sickening, even more so with the chap building it himself Let's hope some of the parts which have been stripped start appearing on forums/auction sites and you can get a lead as to where they're all coming from
