Where are these rumors that the car has been seen on the road coming from?

Sounds like bullshit to me, who the hell steals a car and actually drives it around, People smart enough to actually steal this thing wouldent be driving it around.....

anyway, gl finding it man.

Yup, I would doubt they would have it on the road standing out like it does other than to get it where they want it. Good luck finding it, it's the worst feeling having your pride and joy stolen.

As for alarms and taking keys, my keys are with me ALWAYS for the Passage, and it has about 5 other things protecting it (besides the alarm which is also has) but I still worry about it! It never gets left around shops or anything either.

it doesn't matter if you have an alarm or have the key on you or hind it.

If some bastard want your car that badly to commit a crime then you just hope it not you.

sad to say this but there is nothing you can do but give up your car or worse ended up in the hospital. of course unless you are a police officer of a bikie, or prepare to put yourself in a serious situation.

the only thing you can really do is don't show off your baby or have a good insurance, which this guy have.

But man that really suck...

To get mine out they would have to know a lot personally about the car and be quite an inside job so to speak.

Insurance doesn't always help, they won't cover mine for more than $6000 and then I have close to $2000 worth of excess plus $1290 premium so wouldn't even get an Aussie turbo 31 after that :S

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
