It was reported to the police the night it was nicked, i just didnt call my insurance lol

Thats exactly it! Its just not the same anymore. :(

Its a good job your a thinker :p In seriousness though, i wouldnt actually do that. but i would feel so much better if they did themselves a mischief in some other way. I did think about leaving it to get nicked again though, and set up some sort of hidden camera somewhere to catch them. But tbh, i dont think the police care too much about stolen cars, especially old £500 bangers. But they do have more serious things to deal with i suppose, i know what my priorities would be if i was a copper.

Would it be wrong of me to leave it parked outside again, drain the brake fluid and wait for it to get nicked again just so i can catch the little......at the end of the road and laugh at their broken limbs? I'm not a horrible person, but if they crash then i dont have to do the limb breaking :)

Its hard to explain really, I know i bought it just as something to get around in but i just dont feel like i want it anymore. Just doesnt feel the same to drive when someone else has abused it.

Some of you may recall a week or so ago my Thread about my escort getting nicked. Well it was found this monday in a carpark in solihull, about 40miles from home. The thieves obviously went for a joyride as they used a full tank of fuel and, as i set the trip counter after every refill, i know they did 330 miles in my car. To get into it it looks like they bent the passenger door open, then bent it back to disguise their forced entry. They then broke the cowling from the steering column to gain access to the wiring. They put a self tapping screw in the ignition to release the steering lock then a kind of little black ignition box so they could start it with a screwdriver. Externally it is just as it was before. The thing is, after having it nicked i'm not sure i even want it anymore. I'm buying the bits to sort it out, but i'm in two minds whether or not to sell it. I didnt report it to the insurance, because IMO with a car worth less than £500 its not worth it, all they would have done is write it off and i'd be lucky to get £100. What would you do if your car was nicked and you got it back?

You should sell me your wheels, then you wouldnt have the hasstle with the tyres :p :p :p

How about a meet at Santa pod for a RWYB day? Cant beat a bit of penis measuring :p :p

That was my car, but my mate driving. I beat a Mustang gt500.....twice :p

I let my mate have 4 runs too. he beat me by 0.4 seconds. Not happy lol :p

I was there!! Black Zed goin up the strip every 5 mins :p

Well, Fast Show at santa pod was Great! never been on the quarter mile before :D Got a bit greedy and had 8 runs :p Heres my times, i highlighted my best and worked out the averaged.

I actually hate the fact that its become "cool" to like Charlie Sheen because he has the amazing ability to be a drug addict. Society should stop rewarding people for being selfish overpayed wreckless morons.

I wont be joining your convoy then! 5am!! bugger that haha. Where you coming from?

I'm sorry mate, i didnt see the thread, had i known i'd have taken you. I feel bad now :(

Well i'm definatley going now. Got a mate to come with me on the promise he can ride with me down the strip :D

Anybody planning on going to Santa Pod tomorrow? I want to go, but i dont fancy it on my own. Would be nice to see a few other Zed's there! Maybe have a club race down the strip :p

i've never claimed on my insurance before, neither have i had a car stolen, what should i do? My parents have already phoned the police and done the doings at home, but while i'm away i dont have any of the info. Would it be fine to wait till i get home to phone my insurance company?

Some of you might know i bought a cheap little mk4 escort a couple of month back just to run around in. Well i'm on holiday in cornwall at the moment and i got a phonecall from my mother last night. My escort has been stolen. From outside our own house! I just cant believe it! Was in brilliant condition and only just past 70k, serviced it last week, put a new starter on it. It was spot on! I would be out looking for them if i was at home! Probably a good job i'm on holiday....:cursing::cursing::cursing:

AND jaffa cakes!!!.....you sir are an extortionist! :ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban: HAHAHAHA!

Change of plan, i'll be taking the Zed to cornwall. Keep your ears open around 2-3pm :p :p :p

i have a mk4 escort....:whistling: :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: I can pay you for your efforts in tea and biscuits :winkiss: :winkiss: :winkiss:

I'll be in st ives, but wont be in the Zed unfortunatley :(

Is anybody going to Fast Show at Santa Pod next weekend? I'm going to cornwall this weekend but i'm in two minds whether or not to come home early to go. Never been to santa pod, let alone to an event like this. Would it be worth it? Cant imagine i'd get much time on the strip with the huge number of people who'll be there. But, if there were a large number of Zeds going it might be worth the tiny amount of track time :p

I wouldnt mind dropping a cossie engine in my mk4 escort :p Wouldnt put a stupid bodykit on it though! lol
