G19 GTR STOLEN - TIME ATTACK CAR - EDINBURGH - FOUND!!!!

[Thrust]

Unbelievable. Such a familiar car... let's hope it gets found quickly.

I hate people like that. Who do they think they are? Here's hoping something nasty happens to them and it makes them stop and think for the first time in their pathetic life.

[Adam Kindness]

still no word...

I'll get some more pics and details of specific parts / spec posted too.

I cant believe no one would have seen it being taken.... its not quiet, or discreet.

A heap of ifs and buts are going through my head, but in all reality.... its gone.

I cant see it being a 'to order' job as we live in Aberdeen now, and the car was only in Edinburgh at our flat for a few days I suppose it was also there last sat night too though, on the way back fron Donington.

Jeez, just read this, gutted to hear about this and really feel for you both.

I was about to post up a rant about how sick I've been this weekend having spent it all in bed, but it pales into insignificance after this news.

I do hope you get it back in one piece.

In this country, criminals have more rights than the innocent.

Adam, Fee I really feel for you. I know the work and effort that goes into the car.

I had my house broken into recently for the keys for my brand new Civic.
I have only just got the car back after 3 months and it was recovered the same day it was stolen!

Best bit is they caught the little shit (14yr old stealing to order) in the car, with the keys with the same gloves and wearing th size 9 Nike's!
They let him go as they didn't have enough evidence to make a case stick.

[rogerdavis]

Shit! sorry to hear of your loss Fee

I hope you manage to find it, but odds are it will be broken up for spares. Where was it stolen from, home?

I think people who are taking part in these Time Attack/Drag events should blank off their number plates.

Keep us posted.

Any info greatly appreciated

[Totalburnout]

Adam/Fee , just saw this, fookin gutted for you!
I'll put the word out down my way and see if anything turns up. Sad reality is is probably beed totally stripped by now

I know how angry i was last month when somebody put in the locks on mine, let alone actually taking the car.

Hope something turns up soon.

[vizibledog]

Gutted for you both. I will keep my eyes and ears open round Glasgow.

[Luckham]

Really sorry to hear about your loss mate..

[Wanabee Kiwi]

So gutted for you man, i hate theives!

The thing is this car is distinctive and has a lot of rare parts on it, so if someone is stripping the car its going to become obvious if parts start appearing. On the other hand if it was just taken for a joy-ride then its surely the police will notice it?! i mean its got race graphics all down it for a start.

I hope it does get found and in one piece because although insurance can replace the car it cannot replace the time and effort put into it.

Truely gutted for you.

[Adam Kindness]

thats the thing thats annoying me most...

I hate Edinburgh!! The garage that used to house the GTR in Edinburgh was broken into before, luckily the car was at The Garage getting some work done that time. Thinking now it was targeted then too... as we had two garages with trackcars in that street... only one... the most secure was broken into. 4 large padlocks!!

Our old GC8 typeR was damaged in the same carpark that the GTR was stolen from.... about 3 attempts to steal it... came out with the alarm going and bonnet up, locks done in, and roof dented where someone tried to bend a framless door back. ****wits.


We're prob going to try and sell the TA spaces on... the early ones anyway whilst we work out/plan the next step.

Already weighing up options and we want to build a 32 again... but more focussed from the outset this time. We have a bit of experience with it, so know what we would and wouldnt do this time.

so.... any caged rolling shells kicking about? Tried contacting the one for sale on Driftworks (before the car went missing funnily enough ) but it must have been sold

[hockey-boy]

adam you have pm

[Lono9885]

Sorry to hear about this dude...after all the hard work and prep gone into that car....this sort of crime disgusts me....I hope they get Aids in the face and die painfully I take it because this is a track car there was no tracker etc ?

Ad

[Fee Muir]

Nope...no tracker
The car is usually kept garaged and secure
Only last week that it was down in Edinburgh because Adam was working down there and decided to take it down to work on it before the first round
