dimmaturbo you'll need 15 non spammed posts before you can upload pictures on here,

OT: Done a DVLA check or anything?

[Spudly]

Pete if its an Irish car it wont show up on our uk dvla records, it will however show on the MID if its insured iirc!

[Mattman]

TIB6004 is NOT on the Motor Insurance Database today

[wwmnw]

Not insured.

[dimmaturbo]

yeah ive done the askmid thing loads of times for this.would the dvla tell me where it might be.im in northern ireland.

i put an wanted add with pictures on piston heads about this and i got a reply saying. i got the nova lad.the email address was 94lewism@google.com so i did a web search on it and i found an ad on gumtree selling a car with this email address and a phone number.i rang it and the fella said it must have been is 15 year old son who repied he said he would ask him when he gets back but there is no nova at there place.so im gona ring back later incase a mate of the wee lads might have it.although it sounds like a wee prick messing around.

[dimmaturbo]

thanks amggsi for putting up the pictures.top jop.

[dimmaturbo]

i just rang the guy back there and he says his son knows hothing about it.i think the fella did it himself cause as the call was coming to an end he sound as if he was trying to stop himself from laughing.some people have to much time on there hands. i wish i had a mate in the dvla.

[dimmaturbo]

i was thinking woukd the auto trader have any info on it ? like maybe the last time it was in the magazine.

[dimmaturbo]

had a guy rang me from aberdeen about this on saterday.he said he has the car but it needs an engine and he wants 2 grand for it.i told him to send me some pictures of it but he said he hasnt got a camera and he doesnt know anyone that has.he also said i could come and buy the car tomorrow (sunday).oh yeah he also rang with a withheld number.i told him it sounded like a windup but he said not.he left it that he would buy a camera and send me some pictures im not gona hold my breath for them.

Slightly off topic here, but where can you get the fog lights for the GTE bumper then?? That looks well smart. Either that or the fogs from an XR2 bumper lol

Good luck with your hunting buddy

[dimmaturbo]

i got those fogs from a local motor factors.they are just multi use fog lights.
