This is one of my biggest concerns with owning a classic,
I think i'll just do a Tokyo drift and carry my steering wheel around with me.

Pic doesn't work mate, what colour is it and what's the reg?

Standard front end or Clubman?

Still can't view the pics on that Mini forum as it's members only.

Ok, i'll keep an eye out mate, I spot all the rare classics around Cov/Brum.

Pic doesn't and won't work because none of us are logged into the mini forum. Save the image and then host it on photobucket.

What on earth is a thief going to do with that?? It's pretty bloody distinctive!

 

[DaveDreads]

I'm pretty sure i'll spot that if it's about, doesn't look like any other Mini i've seen around here.

They strip em' and sell them for parts.

Its the 20th stolen since October 2012 in Birmingham.

So many c***s in this world!

​Feel gutted for you!

My mini will be kept in the garage from now on.

Not mine.

Mine is safe on the drive in London. Steering Lock and no distributor with 4 flat tyres, means the only way to move it is to drag it, very obvious on a main road.

Will be going in the garage when its done though, the garage will be blocked with the Clio.

Sadly true - we sold some of the older parts from our race car over the winter and couldn't believe the money we got for them on eBay. An original 1970's chronometric tach went to someone in Japan for over £500, likewise our old head went to Malaysia for good money too.
