It'll be in a shed/garage/workshop getting stripped for parts...It's gone

yeah thats my thought but they wont get anything valuable because it was stock plus it would be hard to sell the panels because of the rare colour.

sorry to hear dude will keep an eye out for it but to be honest i think you/we have a better chance of spotting the tow truck than your car so any details of the truck would be handy, i don't think he/she/they would risk driving around in something that stands out as much as a purple R

keep an eye out on ebay and such sites for parts etc

good luck

thanks everyone, cops called me back and said they have footage of the tow truck but the truck has no number plates so it looks like its gone im so devasted and im still at work till I finish at 5 : (

Tow truck indicates organisation of some description - it's not going to turn up abandoned. Really very sad. I would love to see these people lynched makes me sick.

Sorry, but yes, it looks as if it's gone.

We need to be extremely suss about any tow truck on the road without number plates eh?

I think GPS tracking is almost a better option than Having Insurance, seriously.

Plus its quite cheap now these days. all our work vehicles have them.

Most of the stress involved with having your vehicle stolen is not knowing where it is right?

The GPS can be hidden quite well in a car. may take the Thief almost a whole day before he finds it.

or anti theft paintwork :whistling:

:laugh:

Haha yea I was thinking anyone would be stupid to steal my car cuz it stands put like dogs balls. Even in heavy traffic. But a mp3 r34 GTR would stick out as much if not more than mine. Guess they don't care anymore

Not even close to correct - they sell lead-lined blankets for $20 out of the USA .... they put your car on a truck, cover it with the blanket and it is gone .... or put it in a shipping container or sealed truck and they don't even need the blanket. I swear we should be allowed to elecrify our cars as a means of protection.

Very sad to hear about your loss .... simply devastating.

It really doesn't matter how much it stands out. By the time it's reported to the police or posted on a forum, anyone with even half a clue when it comes to stealing a car will have it parked out of sight well before anyone is looking for it

Can you get an image of the tow truck from the police? Yellow, Black etc etc?

I doubt it was the first time these knobs had done something like this. but that is not to say they are not the sharpest tools

in the shed and could well be using the same truck / be in a workshop / warehouse somewhere that someone on the forums

may see.

farkn hard luck though. there would have been a fare racket as they got the thing onto the tray, as it would have been dragging or they would have busted the window to drop

it into N and take the hand brake off.

* You still need insurance to cover the car you hit

* You still need insurance to cover your car that's been hit when special circumstances arise

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
