it's a fairly stand out motor so it shouldn't be too difficult to find

saying that, they said the same about that escos that went missing last year

i'll keep my eyes open

The scrap yard is on the way to the ace cafe. Not a chance it will end up in there.
Or you have the scrap yard in iver/west Drayton way CAR SPARES but I doubt they would touch it.

Totally gutting as I always advise when I do my monthly speech on meet nights

If you buy stuff from ebay or anywhere else for that matter, if its not one of the reputable tuners on the scene or if its someone you don't know send the stuff to an address where the car don't live, work, office etc, that way thieves won't know where your pride n joy is located,

the fewer people who know where your cars are parked/stored the better

local to me which is worrying, i really hope the car gets recovered

Unfortunately scum thieving cunts will be scum...

They will keep trying to adapt to the precautions we take.

Would help if the legal system gave them a decent punishment when caught.


If this country continues to go down the pan, i can see it ending up like south africa where you seriously have to take active daily security precautions if you own any nice vehicle and want to keep it.

I guess car jackings will go up in popularity again soon.

I understand that, heard a story about an evo owner who lived with his elderly parents, thieves knocked the door and when answered assaulted two pensioners to obtain the keys for the car then made off with it

I say to my Mrs if I'm not in the house don't answer the door

Is this the same area where the orange mk1 with non running Cossie engine was taken? Just saw on FB that the owner was at Ace cafe the night before an thought the mk1 was same area?

Prob the same dickheads who took it. What a cracking looking car too
