are the police going to get involved? Maybe mattwright can put a bit about this story in Practical Classics, publicise a bit just what f***ing w***ers some of these banger t***s are, and what they are up to. Makes me wanna chuck. Same here Thing is, we don't know (or I don't anyway) what happened 100% yet... Could've been stolen by someone else, and sold on to an unsuspecting banger racer who didn't realise it was nicked. Maybe. I can't honestly imagine how I'd feel right now if that were my Golf

Sad thing is this relatively common in bigger Japanese RWD cars, quite a few Datsun owners have had their cars stolen particularly in the london area and south of the country over the years. The police generally don't have the resources to chase up every J-car theft. The best way of stopping this will always be prevention, but its very difficult to keep an eye on your car 24/7 unless you're lucky enough to have a lock up.

I'm not into banger racing or anything like that , But surely every banger racing venue could have a database of stolen Engine / Chassis numbers & Every car must be checked by an official for these numbers (Intact) & if they aren't there , or registered as stolen then the car isn't allowed to race & the police informed .
Surely in the 21st Century that would be a perfectly easy thing to do ! But As usual i guess it all boils down to who in the seat of power can really be bothered to implement these things ... After all it's not their Bentley Or Roller that is being taken & raced is it !

Chances are those who raced it didn't nick it and may not even know it's hot. Banger boys trade cars quite a bit. That said it was a pretty tidy car so anyone recieving it should have been a bit suspicious or maybe they were hoping to plead ignorange if caught?

Oh I know, and I think you're right... But I just wouldn't want to see a full-on lynching of a banger forum or something and it turn out to be misguided.

I reckon some publicity of this story could go a long way, i'm sure a lot of the banger boys would be pretty hacked off to find folk slagging them all (and their sport) off because of a few rotten apples bangering stolen motors.

Take off and nuke them from Orbit. Let's get the people responsible here and not the innocents! Maybe nuking isn't the sensible option I have a nice halfshaft from when I used to do agricultural engineering, it's got a sheared end so hurts like fsk when it hits you. Anyone got a panelvan? Let's roll!

Alistairk , I was really curse word off about the Datty , It honestly took me until about the beginning of May to be resigned to the fact that i probably wouldn't ever see it again (In a driveable state anyway) , For the first week i literaly prayed that i would see it on the way to work in a ditch upside down on fire with some scumbag begging me to help him out of it .... I would have walked away then ! , Butt now i have had near on 7 months to calm down . & not dwell on the past . I believe that what goes around comes around & that one day the person who stole my car will be walking across the road & my brakes will accidently fail to work "Honest Orificer!".
They will get their Just deserves !
