Hi guys thanks for the support.
She was driven out the door 2 big black wheelie marks to prove that.
Got some news though factory 2 doors up work odd hours and had noticed a black sedan and a van sitting in carpark across the road 2 nights running, have rego numbers and given them to police investigating
so might get some where.

Thanks again
Gary

Someone knows something as this was no random hit..
keep your eyes and ears alert this car was only finished a couple of weeks ago after having many new parts and engine fitted.

Not necessarily ... I found my accident how you can bypass smartshield ... I was shocked and disappointed. It's a lot easier to get around than you think.

And no ... i am not telling anyone what it is.

I hope you can find the ute ... such a shame as it is such a clean example too.

I agree with spooly, it has just been worked on, some dodgy keen eyed people must of seen it at your factory or heard what was done to it.

Hopefully the van and the sedan did have something to do with it, as it would provide a lead as to who took it

I dont think its was taken by chance, but it is possible it was a fluke it had just been finished.

Unfrotunatly, As far as I know there is still no real news........


Lets hope the cops have some idea of hot spots ect.

Bugger, I might go for a quick spin around here (Altona North) and have a looksee. Wouldn't be the first time a stolen car was dumped in one of the industrial areas here.

Maybe a stupid idea, but I'd be keeping an eye out near all the petrol stations in the area or thereabouts ??????

A stroked motor aint gonna be going anywhere soon without juice.........
Maybe talk to the servo operators if they are regulars.....they always comment on unique looking or sounding cars.........You never know.

Good Luck with the search guys............

It had over 3/4 of a tank....
And is pretty good on fuel if you can keep your right foot off the floor...
