I've said it countless times (on here usually, due to everybody being a professional motorsport engineer) that it's not hard to make very low cars handle better than their standard counterparts.

Yeah, had an immobiliser...
Only a basic one like, can't have done much good!
The car was unrecognizable apparently, melted wheels etc.. they left the steering column cover at the scene though weirdly :S

Hope you find it in one piece mate, and the torched one isn't yours... :dapprove:
It was taken at 8pm last night by three youths... and the torched car was found at about 22.50?
Seems like a massive coincidence if it isn't mine! Just have to wait and see.

Christ knows. CCTV wasn't very clear apparently - i didn't get a chance to see it... Will try have a look later when the police come down.
This is just a massive pain in the arse. My insurance goes up, I've lost a car and it's just a s**t load of paper work for the coppers. POINTLESSSORZZZZZ

Gutted.
Where was it found mate? I'm in the Quays... never knew you were so close.
I look at an apartment opposite to yours when I was looking for one (XQ7?), It had been flooded by the owner though apparently.. stank! :dead:
Found in Salford about two miles away - apparently there have been loads of burnt out cars found along the same road. Trinity way IIRC?
EDIT: not trinity way - that's near where I live (Chapel Street). lol

I don't know yet! Waiting for forensics to do their thing and identify it... I imagine it will be. Stolen and torched within three hours :/

How stupid do you have to be to steal a two seater car when there are three of you? One of them must have had to sit on the others knee. Hardly discreet is it.

I had a white supercharged one, I loved it.Edit very insensitive didnt read end of thread.

Haha, that's what I thought! I think they came on some bikes... Will have to wait until I can see the CCTV. That's not going to be nice viewing

Wounded for you mate
How does your insurance go up because of a stolen car? It's ridiculous!
Edit: a claim is a claim

Just found out it was my car that's been torched. So that's the end of this project thread!

I'm right on the edge of the centre of Manchester Gally, so I don't think where I park it etc is full of car crime. But where it was found (2 miles away further into Salford) is full of it - they've had several cars torched on the same road in the past few weeks as far as I know.
Insurance should pay out, yeah - my excess will take a decent chunk out of it though. So I'll probably end up with about 800 quid - nowhere near enough for me to buy and insure another car. Especially with no NCB and this claim now ffs!
