oh no!
I was just reading about its progress on toymods...
all the best with its speedy recovery... Thomas had his stolen L Turbo recovered fairly intact, so lets hope they're only joyriders, and they give it back...

That's exactly the one.
He only took it to Canberra on Sunday for the first time too

For some good news, it was spotted in the Gilmore area of Canberra about 5:30 this afternoon doing a great deal of knots, so maybe, just maybe, its just joyriders & they'll dump it somewhere & realise it's too good to torch.
Smoov, thanks for editing your post. Beer's on me next time I see you

Although Im not one to knock back a round of liquid amber, But which post did I edit? I mean I know which one, but how did I edit it? Hope it wasn't bad
Glad to hear it's still intact, and I do hope its returned back to its rightful owner, with its HG thats not a BHG
(love the BHG Racing on the back window!!
)

To give you an idea of the reponse, the thread on Toymods about this has over 100 posts since 7am this morning!
Its already had one Blown Head Gasket, we're actually hoping for another one about now!
He's actually got a BHG racing shirt made up

I thought it had changed & wasn't going crazy.
Cheers Mudrat.
We need to organise a pub night out sometime so we can all meet.
I'll send you a PM smoov

Just a quick update.
The tool who stole this car is still driving it around. It was seen 3 times on the weekend, including one place I was at less than 30mins later
At least its still in one piece.
It now wears ACT plates & Falcon steel wheels.

bastards
probably well aware of what they have and are continuing their joyride.
I hope they're apprehended soon!

IT HAS BEEN RECOVERED!!!!
Apparently its in pretty good nick.
Not sure if the bastard who took it was caught or not, but the owner is STOKED (understatement of the century)
To anyone who spent their time looking, you are legends.

Someone has been taken into custody. Not sure if charges have been made or not yet, but its a pretty sure bet.
The damage to the car consisted of
busted driver's door lock
slight dent in front bumper
bald rear tyres (but they weren't the mags anyway)
and a very bad whine in the diff (suspect crown wheel or pinion on they're way out)
The original alloys & number plates were recovered.
