Locost on hold!
Gremlin - 8/12/02 at 07:42 PM

Everthing was going slowly but smoothly and the chassis was starting to take shape and i had finally decided what engine to go for then!!!!!!

Some BARSTARD nicked my calibra 4x4 turbo that i was slowly putting right!

Now i have no car and no cash to buy engine for locost as the money intended for that has to cover my excess and other bits and pieces!

Worst thing is knowing i had to young kids in the house and i didnt hear them take the car which is alarmed! They could have easily been in the house! BARSTARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They want a car! Work for it!

Sorry to hear about this mate,

Look on the bright side, one day they might nick one and crash and burn.

Let's hope it's soon!

Cheers

Chris

Thanks!

All i want to do is carry on with my build and im a bit stuck at the moment till i pull some cash together. Oh well it will get there just a bit slower than expected! Onwards and upwards.

Unlucky mate- hope you get it back- you never know!
My friends car was nicked the other week while he was out. They broke in the back of the house, grabbed the car keys sitting there, went through the house helping themselves to the the DVD (but nothing else in the house ) went out the front and drove off in his car.
When he got back later his suspicions were first raised by finding his car a few hundred yards down the road from his house!
The thieves had driven off in it, and it had broken down.....

Can you imagine the look on the bastards faces as their quick gettaway came to nothing!

Anyway condolences on the car- can you not carry on with the chassis and sorting any other 'cheap' bits until you get the donor engine etc?

Cheers,

James

I had my Clio diesel stolen 2 years ago. What you don't realise is that it costs a fortune in insurance premium. I pay to insure my no claims now, plus replacing the motor etc. There is a case on text this morning where a teenager in a stolen Mondeo has suffered serious head injuries during a police chase on Hessle road, Hull. Who do you feel sorry for? They will probably get sued and the taxman will be paying to keep him for the rest of his life. The car owner will noy even get a mention.

yours, Pete.

I had full no claims but when i renewed the insurance i was not able to protect it as i was one month short of being 25. Now 1 have lost 2 years bang goes the sports cars!

My condolences Gremlin. I've had it done to me a couple of time, cut of their hands & tatoo their crimes on their forheads. At least then we would know who they are!

shoot the bastards

cheaper than tattoos

jollygreengiant - 11/12/02 at 11:50 PM

Sorry but shooting is far to quick and the waste of a good bullet (they should be saved for politicians).
