There's nothing to say to make any sense of acts of vandalism. I've never understood it.

Hope it works out for you, mate.

It's in suburbia no cameras.

It's insured for 8700 and I just bought an apartment so I can't afford like a BA unless I want a bucket. So I may just have to get another AU unless someone throws me a few g'z the thing that annoys me is it was finally getting finished kit and all and now it's potentially gone.

I refuse to downgrade from a fairmont too :(

I'm so sorry to see this......have been following your car in your thread for some time.......why can't people just respect other people's property?? It's so infuriating how low people can go sometimes.......

That is just appalling, Generally the lowlifes responsible would never own anything better than a rusted out Camira and as they say jealousy is a curse !
Best of luck mate, see if you can keep your good bits for the next one !

Sorry to see what they have done to your car, Henri. Those jealous morons. I hope you can keep all the good bits from this car and make an even better one. Good luck with it.

That is heartbeaking, I'm sooo sorry. Lowlifes that get their jollie's from this sort of thing have me stumped. When I was young, a good looking car was something to be admired, nowadays unfortunately kids admire not much more than their own reflections! : Best of luck with it mate.

I know what the area is like ... we have family over there and they have had all sort of problems with idiots in the area at night. They don't leave cars outside at night ... they have already had them vandalised.
