What all the above have said!

I'm so, so glad you for you both.

Hope it doesn't take too long to sort out and get back in TA.

MacGTR · 12th April 2008, 02:14 PM

Congratulations! Its such a good feeling to know you have it back

Adam Kindness · 12th April 2008, 02:20 PM

It was found in an underground residential car park just over a mile from our flat in Edinburgh.

According to residents it has been there for two weeks, so where the hell has it been for the time prior to that! It went missing ont he 15th/16th last month :/

MacGTR · 12th April 2008, 02:35 PM

When we had ours stolen it was the same story, was not seen for weeks then got a police call saying they may have found it sitting in some ones parking space outside there house for over a week! and it was!

Ours had been given a seriously hard time, it had racing slicks on it at the time which were destroyed, and there was oil leaking from around one of the turbos. Hopefully yours has not been raced around and its pretty easy to tell from looking at the tyres or do you have any idea of the mileage at the time it was stolen?

Fantastic News

Do I take it then that the Police still don't know who did it then?

Shame..

Hope the fcukers that stole it didn't rag it too much.

Still on the plus side at least it goes to show that at least sometimes in life you get a happy ending..

mifn21 · 12th April 2008, 02:57 PM

Excellent news!

Fingers crossed the cops get some decent prints etc off the car

Adam Kindness · 12th April 2008, 02:58 PM

hope its not ****ed.... they would have been retarded ragging that thing round with TimeAttack stickers all over it, and they still are!

I'll have a rough idea of mileage, its hardly done 2000miles since the forged engine was built.

tyres were 888's with plenty of tread

Great news but don't hold your breath in getting it back promptly.

Mine was stolen and recovered the same day.
Still took 3 months to actually get the car back due to police dragging their heals with forensics for 10 days, then the insurance company messing about!

Insurance company ended up causing more damage than the theives as they lost the keys and were dragging the car around with the steering lock on and ended up wrecking 3 panels and the splitters.

bazgtr · 12th April 2008, 03:32 PM

In answer to earlier post. They leave it laying aorund in a car park to check if theres no tracker fitted. If the cars still there a few weeks later then they know there isn't one and move it closer to place closer to home.

Any pictures of the damage(Some of us might have the prtas for you to replace) or more details on how they got the car going etc. This would help in spotting which car alarm you had fitted showing that it didn't work so other skyline owners don't buy the same system.

hodgie · 12th April 2008, 03:32 PM

Im really chuffed for you both, it must be bad enough having a normal car stolen let alone a car thats you have put so much hard work into. sleep well tonight.

Hedgehog Dodger · 12th April 2008, 04:52 PM

thats great news, are you glad you didnt buy that car now for 10k!!!!

Crail Loser · 12th April 2008, 05:28 PM

Fee was in the garage picking up my R32 I had loaned them untill a replacement when Adam phoned, amazing news, great to hear -cheer-

Lets hope the car has suffered minimal damage but as I said to Fee and as mentioned above it can still take sometime before its returned to yourselves.

Anyway, nice one.
