Hi people
About a month ago (I haven't been online until now), my EA was stolen from my work carpark (at Parafield) at about 6:30 pm on the 7th of april. SA Police found it the following day in Norwood at about 11:30 am. Overnight it covered about 1200 km's. I tried to fire it up, but it idled like a bucket of ****** and the low coolant warning light came on. Popped the bonnet only to find that the coolant line had been ripped off the header tank and the radiator had been deliberately pierced. Whoever was driving it let it run out of coolant and drove it until it died. So anyway, RAA insurance declared it an economic write-off and paid me a cheque for it. Some pics as she lay rest in the auction yard: (Apologies for image size, didn't have a good image editor on hand.)   So anyway, I'm regrettably no longer an E-series owner. My new beast:  94,000 km 2003 BA. Picked it up a week ago from a government auction. Not a manual, not an E-Series, but it'll do for now. Luke

It's a shame but unless you try and stop theivs, cars will be stolen.
Nice upgrade.

You should try to get your old lip spoiler back so you can sell it!
Yeah too bad about the car being stolen in the first place. Anyway, nice upgrade!
