the car was just sat there on the industrial estate where our unit is and i only noticed it cos we just got the mrss one . i was still half asleep walking across the car park when i noticed a black clio i saw a black cross on the back window and cos i was half asleep i thought for some reason it was tape then i noticed all the stickers so i walked over for a look. when i got up to it i realised what it was and that it wasnt just a track car .i walked to the unit and Andy northern bloke was there i told him to come look at it .We realised that there wqas something wrong cos there was nothing open near it so he got on his internet phone to find a no for them . I talked to a bloke who at first didnt know what to say so i told him all about the car and he said he would ring me back .I then got a call off another guy who said he was in charge and they where down at rockingham racing there 3 new clio cup cars and that they didnt even know they where missing and that there was allso a race shuttle and a mini chalange car missing so he came to pic it up today and was delited that there was nothing wrong whth it the 2 fuel fillers are 1k each . He didnt give me any cash but he did take our addresses and is sending us tickets for the touring cars just wish i could have kept it cos it would make an awsombe track car

1. I have apologised enough for one day
2. The description is poo... 0-100mph in 10 secs?!?!?!?
I have driven them alot! they only have about 200bhp and are great cars but not that fast at all really!
I took Sean along on one of the days
I am next out in them in 3 weeks time. Can't wait!
Good little video here if you leave the screen a while for it to load!

Like I said to Jacko, if someone found my car I would hope they'd phone me - it all comes around
