The Cup that lived, LMAO :lolup: I like it.

I think he means a removable race wheel? Thanks again to everyone. My wife took a call today to say I could collect at 1500 :D , then they called again to say not before tomorrow :( . Soon hopefully.

Nice one Mike.

Wrong! Mine's been in dialy use for well over three years, and I tighten the f*** out of it to keep my hips pinned. My seatbelt show only the slightest area of wear - nothing at all to be concerned about. Lot's of people do not rate them, and compared to full harnesses they're obviously...

Nice. Your fortunate to get so up close and personal with them, rather than just seeing them on a stand at a show.

Pah, nothing but a fancy trinket ;) You all get one free with the car anyway... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/MarkCup/100_3069-1.jpg Looks nice BTW.

There's beauties out there like that and they still take my abused shell! What's wrong with them?

Very touching, slightly ghey ( ;) ), but very true too. It's been a rollercoaster ride the last 24hrs to say the least. My camera's staying with me so I can get pics of it when I pick it up...whenever that may be. I'm stunned by the response to this to be perfectly honest. There's some...

If changing the locks and new keys costs less than £250 I won't be claiming. I might not even if it's up to £300 or £400. Probably not worth it being recorded against me for future premiums. I know of one way to do it, but any detailed guides as to how I can best immobilise it when I get it...

No word on who took it. It was in a residential parking area behind a kiddies play area. No one around. Because it's part of a house break-in it should get dusted and crawled over for fibres within 24 hours but he said I should allow 3 days. Back for the weekend and a good kicking :D...

FOUND! See new thread here.

The control centre called; "Do you have a spare set of keys?" "Yes...you've found it?" "Yes Mr B" "Is it in a bad way?" "The keys will greatly assist with the recovery" That was it. Knock at the door, in comes a nice man. "Yours was the 4th one in the last few days, so we've been giving...

PMd. Thanks :approve:

It is. It was. There's been 3 others recently. The last in a village 2 miles away, the day before. BMW, Cavalier, and something else.

I'd love one of those. Enough power to make it interesting, and if our 1.6 Zetec is anything to go buy, a chassis to die for.

That's great Dan, thanks.

Thanks Dan :approve:

25s is optimistic. My old V6 Mondeo took 24s. I think 30+ too.

Just said goodbye to SOCO bloke and finished getting the ink off my hands. Just got to wait for the glazier now. No other news yet. Thinking about it all night (as you do) - if I do see it again it'll be bent I reckon. Like someone said, it won't burn as it's just metal, so it's either off...

Whose is 2nd? Thank you everyone for your comments. Seeing this thread grow so rapidly has been comforting. The sum total of what we have so far noticed is missing is; £100.00 cash (they missed an easy £10 and another £50 elsewhere) my Garrard watch Megan's money box Sarah's platinum...

So we're finally winding down, and I'm emptying my pockets onto the sideboard as I always do. I've got 10p in small loose change, so as I always do I went to drop it into Megan's money box... W***ers. I wonder if they found a petrol station that would take £17.00 of 5p, 2p, and 1ps.

...and to avoid confusion...I do mean the keys in the conservatory door... ;)

Just checked our insurance policy - leaving keys in means we have to pay the excess of £60 that's all. Phew! I could take them out...but I think the small hand-sized hole in the glass suggests they were in the lock at the time.

Nope. Happened during the day. Sarah got home at 1815 and our bedroom light was still on. She thought I must have come home early and swapped cars...but then couldn't understand where the Omega was. When she opened the front door it was still dead-locked and the mail was in the...

Yup. The main bloke had already spotted my IAM Observers certificate on the wall and was chatting to me about it beforehand - nothing wrong with making progress I said! Turns out they've had £200 from my wife's netball kitty, and my Garrard watch; I'm really pissed off about that - I only wear...

I've just emailed loads of pictures to the five-o showing the stickers and stripped to the metal interior - will be hard for them to make it blend in. Makes me think it was just taken for a thrash, and knowing what they're like, I'm expecting a call tonight to say it's been wrapped around a...

They're taking statements from Sarah as I type this. CID have just turned up and a SOCO is en route. I'm not a violent person, but right now, I want to hurt someone.

M***er-f***ers smashed in through our conservatory, grabbed the keys plus some cash from upstairs, then left. Camcorder, camera, Xbox, new 6.1 amp all still here - so was either stolen to order or they got disturbed. Registration YE53 ZKW. Currently wearing 15" Dynamique wheels in silver...

That's what mine's like too. Used like a van.

I bought one of these recently; Sony DDW-890 It's amazing. 1,000w. Lovely. He also sells a slightly lower spec DDW-790 - this one doesn't have any component input/outputs though.
