[a2lt16v]

there are some right pricks about hopefully they crashed it and mutilated there face against a tree or something like that.

no doubt mummy and daddy didnt take them on holiday when they were little so he is now metally disturbed and his grandad raped him also, this is what he will tell the courts so they let him off and you end up with nothing

the uk needs to sort there punishment out i reckon

[craig green]

Sorry to hear it Mike. Chin up & fingers crossed it turns up unharmed.

[Adam]

alarm SHOULD have gone off first when they tried to enter the car :tard:
Depends which alarm tho, and how they entered.
Bent the door back and through a window wouldn't set a door pin switch off.

[Matt2107]

Sorry to here about this Mike... same people that took your last one?

[MyNovaSr]

There are some fkers out there. what make of alarm was it on the car if u dont mind me asking? When i had mine someone tried it on when id only bin in home for 2 mins. Just gotta have good insurance and not let it bother you too much or ull just worry....

sorry none the less

p.s. By looks of the pics there was no alarm bin in engine bay, so they probs cracked open the bonnet and sorted the alarm before it had a chance to sound. fkers

[Teggy]

omg what a shame good luck mate i think you will need it now

[Mike]

Its been a funny sort of few days......

These two pictures alone sum up what remains of my now super duper lightweight Nova.....

lol yeah its been recovered now, ive not gone through the insurance as i dont want to lose 3 years NCB for a fecking Nova lol

It should be delivered to my driveway from the police impound within the next hour or so, then the fun shall start all over again :D its basically been stripped back down to a bare rolling shell

[Ernie]

is the engine still there ?or has every thing gone.

[tom_beverley]

Tw@ts, it really pisses me off that people do this. I'd love to find some of the stripped parts off her mate and have the time of my life ripping each of their funking fingers off and shoving them down their throats!

On a lighter note, I'm honestly really pleased you have got her back.

[Mike]

is the engine still there ?or has every thing gone.

it is.........kinda :tard:

I couldnt get any pictures of it in the impound as its a proper Police one & you cant take pictures in there, but once it arrives here at home, ill get some pics..........

Tom, im really really fcuking pissed off TBH mate.

BTW, anyone selling a LET engine?

[Adam]

Good news youve got it back, but fooking gay news all the expensive bits are gone :(

[Mike]

Lol.

;)

Itll be on page 5 of tonight's Express & Star (Midlands Edition)

[Mike]

Just been called by Len from MMS recovery (top bloke, well worth a mention!!!) and hes loading my car onto a flat bed right now, and itll be with me in around 30mins.

Prepare for some rather erm, interesting pictures.........

[Adam]

Those white marks on the road, i assume thats where the car was left completely bare, so it was just dragged along the road on its floor?

If your not claiming on the insurance, that means you've lost everything, apart from the ?50 shell:cry: :eek::eek:

those white marks is where LHAura though it would be better to use her brake disc's as wheels, theres damage to the passenger side syll, and the roof skin has been attacked above the drivers head with what looks like a steel bar!

It was recovered less then a mile from its registered address, and nearly 1mile from where it was stolen (mine an missus new house, moved in less then 2 weeks ago!!) its been off roading as its plastered in grass, mud & sh1t etc, minus a front bumper, minus a brake res tank :tard: no back box, no K&N, rad has been un-plumbed, engine mostly un-wired, missing one rear suspension spring :tard: etc etc

EDIT - Erm pretty much yes, ive lost everything bar a ?50 shell, ?80 ATE brakes, parts of the engine and ?180 suspension kit & a Sparco steering wheel.

[Novadaftman]

well mike at least you got it back and it wasn't burnt out you already knew it would be stripped out a take it by the markings the wheels are off it then well you got it back now thats the main thing so time too start again but i think your going to have to improve the security a bit more now mate.

[Dave.]

very lucky mine be thankfull tis not been burnt out.. if you need any parts boots doors etc let me know and ill help out asmuch as i can matey :thumb:

[puss puss]

Couldnt you pay him a visit or check out to see if he has any cool new upgrades ?

[Mike]

Couldnt you pay him a visit or check out to see if he has any cool new upgrades ?

i have a reg plate and can HPi check it to obtain an adress legally :thumb:

[Adam]

Quite rare parts, should be easy to keep an eye out for people selling them on ebay etc.

It does sound like someone had their eye on it for a while, seeing as they stole specific parts.

Any ideas how they stole it? Ignition barrel damaged etc?

[Mike]

Ignition barrel totally fcuked, bonnet looks like its been prised open and alarm disconnected aswell, then its just enter via the old chestnut of screwdriver in lock, hence the massive oversized hole in the door lol when i put the locks in, i put them in in a way that i knew wouldnt be so easy to remove them lol

[Adam]

That'll be it then.
Bonnet prised open, alarm disconnected, door lock done, barrel fcuked :(

[bump]

Glad to hear that you got her back.
It's a right b*****d about having to rebuild again.
Have you got a drive at your new place? If so try here (http://www.workproductsdirect.com/shop/shop.php?c1=Parking%20Posts&c2=Fold%20Down).

Try and take it easy mate.

[Dave.]

if i were you id be carefull mike as if theyre taken it once they might come and take it again if they wanted the engine.. they know whats missing so theyll come prepared.. if i were you id pop it in a garage or take the wheels off and put it on axle stands or something so it cant be moved.

[Ste L]

gutted for you mate, know the feeling havinbg your car stole..

had one nova stolen,
and 2 attepted - old red SRi and my valver :(

[Riggy]

gutted for you mike , least when mine went it was just my sub,amp and 6x9 , a bent door and a dented wing , i thought that was **** lol

as said if you need any parts ive got a ****load

[Nick]

Gutted, but at least you got the shell back !

I'l be on the look-out for any of these parts locally. I get alot of bits offered round here as i'm one of very few Nova owners.

[Kinky Monza]

Pleased you have her back but fooking hell!

[tom_beverley]

Good to see her back mate, I'll keep a look out for the parts, the Fearless brace should be the baby to track the feckers.

[craig green]

yeah its been recovered now, ive not gone through the insurance as i dont want to lose 3 years NCB for a fecking Nova



If your experience is anything like when my Cav was stolen, the insurance broker will still load your next premium.

I got charged extra for having had a car stolen even though I didnt claim. Telling them is the worst thing you can do if you have no intentions of claiming. Sorry.

Hope things work out mate. Be sure to post wanted ads for anything you need. I'm sure the NL spirit will come good & conquer all.

[Mike]

Well, its sitting outside on the drive at present, and i dont know what to do with it.

[Martin]

you mentioned a let, does that mean the 1.6 8v engines forsale?, i fancy gettin a spare for wen i slap the turbo onto it incase it goes pop

[Mazz]

If you need any parts, your more than welcome to come and raid my garage and shed...

[Mike]

Mazz, your a star mate!

GSi door card (drivers side)
GSi door cappings
GSi rear qaurter trims (carbon ones got nicked)
Rear shock top mount
Steering cowling
Lock set an ignition barrel & black box thingy

what a ****erish comment!!!

glad you got it back mate

[Clean 2.0 nova]

Fancy talking about money to replace parts that he's had stolen:confused: . If I have / had any parts that were needed of value under ?100, i'd give them away to 'Last Of The Nova SR'S'. Talk about rubbing salt in to the wounds!

Hope you get it back together soon mate. And get it in a garage:D . Btw what alarm / immobiliser was it - was there no bonnet switch or immobiliser wired up to break two circuits?

[novanutted]

9grand worth of mods?is that true or an estimate?looks like it just has 2 seats cage wheels?which would cost like 1500?

[womble sri]

gutted for you mate
