[Fatboy]

Never met him but from chatting to him on IRC he seemed okay. What the fuck were you thinking Dave ?? What a let down...

I'm guessing the "car enthusiast world" that he wanted to be a part of won't exactly welcome him back with open arms...

[OVB471]

[Armageddon]

funny thing is the car is supposed to be in streetmachine of the year awards this year, be curious to see if it is?

Well in all respect the car is still good, you can't take that away from him, you can take the car away from him though! I just hope someone decent buys the car and doesn't get tared with the same brush because of the cars history. Aparently it will go to public auction through the NSW Police auctions, we just had a baby so I might try to convince the missus to use the $3000 Baby Bonus to buy it! It's probably not worth much more than that now!

[jackal]

maggot

[Sir Revalot]

I dunno, I reckon they'll sell it for more than $3000*

*if you were being sarcastic then disregard my above remark.. :D

I'm pretty sure he was also still in the possesion of the pink compact fairlane that howard astille built which took out grand champion at summernats in the early 90's. I spoke to him on IRC a few times as my father was at one stage the owner of that car and he wanted to ask a few questions.

It certainly does come as a shock for me and also makes you wonder how many other big money cars out there that are financed by criminal dealings . I think alot of these people have such a passion that they feel it's the only way to finance there dream's and the sad fact is it's mostly true in alot of cases .

[TJ]

not alot one can say really

There's mates I know in this hobby, then there's 'aquaintances' and then there's the filth who do it by some dodgy 'funding' and I hate to say it, but I think a lot of people would be bloody disheartened if they knew just how many people steal or deal to pay for their cars. Seriously.

I'll say something else - I don't think it's any less of a C(female genitalia)T act than dealing drugs. The amount of hardship I went through when a car I had almost finished restoring for my mum was stolen then completely trashed (over 2grand quote just on the interior damage). these pieces of shit tried to claim it was like that when they found it (just bloody lucky they were caught whilst trying to dump it and they were giving it the final 'vandalisation'). No bullshit, the car still isn't back to what it was (some years later) as I've frankly struggled to find the motivation to get it back up to top shape for fear it might happen again.

I also used to work at a damaged vehicle auction (who some assholes thought was a 'pick a part' remove the stereo yourself and have it for free deal, to the tune of around $30,000 worth of stuff stolen per month!) where aside from people stealing from the cars there, many complete writeoffs or stolen recovereds were auctioned for ridiculous prices (obviously because the buyers had all the stripped parts to put back on the bloody things, or had stolen a mint condition one and needed new tags..) If y'all only knew how bad it was.

Thankfully, Victoria, and I believe NSW tightened up write off vehicle and compliance plate laws so that it's a lot harder to actually do rebirths anymore (the last 'method' which afaik police are starting to scrutinise is that there was previously no data exchange between NZ and Aus, so they were using engine and chassis numbers from one another so that they'd never show up as stolen etc). They also used to photograph a hell of a lot of the higher end cars at the auction, and when the peron managed to have the car ready to reregister in a weeks time, they'd be able to charge them as it would be manifestly impossible to have gotten a wreck into that shape so quick. Or they ask for receipts for where the idiots managed to source the exact list of missing parts and panels in a weeks time...

As someone who has struggled to make ends meet, and had no choice but to figure out every low buck trick in the book (and it's still cost me a bloody lot, but nowhere near what some people spend) when I hear stuff like this it makes me bloody sick. There's no shortage of people like myself who have really sacrificed a lot just to get a car or two into decent street shape. No mercy for assholes who would hurt countless other people for their own benefit (think about rebirthing, imagine the hassle of having your car stolen, imagine that each and every one of use could probably definitively link a few bucks of our insurance premiums directly to this person, and more broadly, all the theives out there are the reason insurance is so bloody high.

It's kinda funny someone else mentioned certain self proclaimed (my words there) 'badasses' who will steal a car at gunpoint. Want to prove to me you are a real badass? Work a second job, go without sleep night after night, all but kiss goodbye a social life to put your car together on a modest budget, then you'll be showing real guts.

If anyone thinks it's likely that someone who has such compromised morality to do this in the first place will change their ways, dream on. It makes for nice speeches for parole but it's about as sincere as a jelignite enema in 99% of cases.

I have to be honest, I wonder what the person's IQ was to be putting together a car that would have cost a small fortune, getting major media coverage (within the subculture at least) and yet claiming to be unemployed. To me that's more sus than Osama bin Laden ordering 45 tonnes of uranium....

a pox on all car thieves I say.
