xacoupe · 06-25-2004, 05:33

I really hoped I would never have to make a post like this but it seems my sprint was theived during the day.

If the person who took it happens to be on this forums .. best I never find out because I an NOT a happy camper.

If anyone notices sprint bits for sale can they please PM me .. even though it was insured I will make all efforts to find them and show them that stealing from me is not a healthy past time.

Holy Friggen Hell

I know I just got off the phone to you but damm I hope we catch these people.

greetings Jeff
it would not be very nice if it or parts of it turned up in here as we are all one big happy family in here & "nothing" should be taken from family

sorry to hear of your loss

i will be back in ten just going to sharpen our friend in case we have a need for it

regards
rod

Perana XR8 · 06-25-2004, 05:38

Thieving bastards.

Hope you get it back Jeff, will keep my eyes out for it

At least it was insured mate.

Good luck getting your beast back.

Bad move by the thief, sprint parts are not too common, end neither are Sprints themselves.
Jeff, any tell tale markings or items on the car that would make it eaiser to spot? If I see any white sprint now I'll be stopping and having a good old look. If its yours, I'll call you and we can all go get medieval on their ass!

theman · 06-25-2004, 05:44

sorry to hear man, thats bullshit... theiving ****s really need to know the value of earning something, rather than using and abusing other peoples property which they have worked long and hard for.

davocol · 06-25-2004, 05:44

I feel sick.

That really pisses me off too. Having encountered an incident due to some lowlife recently (though nothing like your situ Jeff) i know exactly how you feel. I hope they catch the scums and suffer the consequences.

Wulos · 06-25-2004, 05:57

NOT good news XA
will keep ear to ground - though I doubt itll be of much use being totally different state away & all, never know though.

the_wheel_man · 06-25-2004, 05:59

thats bullshit, and such a nice car to
i hope the mother****ers that stole it get caught! and i hope the car is allright

06-25-2004, 06:03

I'll definetely keep an eye out mate... It'll turn up, just have hope..

TIKFD6 · 06-25-2004, 06:06

Bloddy hell Jeff, i felt Empty when i heard.
If they try to sell the parts on ebay or on here, they will be caught.

WHen, how did it happen, was it from home?

JR · 06-25-2004, 06:09

That is unbelieveable!

I feel for you man! Hope you and Minge catch the little prick in a dark alley far from any cops!

Cobra_287 · 06-25-2004, 06:09

Sad to hear about that, so people have no respect for other peoples stuff and i don't know about the rest of you but having you car stolen is really like loosing one of the family, What area of melb was it stolen from as im in Werribee and i know that they like to dump alot of stolen cars out this way.

I hope you get it back soon.

xacoupe · 06-25-2004, 06:18

it was from out the front of my place. The wheels will be what gives them away as there aren't that many left out and about.
This is the list of the more obvious features.
Kumho Ecsta tyres
cross drilled rotors
pedders shocks
el cheapo seat covers
faded genuine XR headlight covers.
White Fordforums sticker on rear window
I have removed the thermo fans and put the clutch fan back on ...so much for making it stock again. I had the radio out of it to fix it .. now I may as well bin it as it doesn't work and if I do fix it ... what the hell am I going to put it in?
One 'feature' is that the rear spoiler sags a little bit and those that know those types of spoiler should spot it straight away.
The front bumper has been repainted and the diff done recently.

I am just sitting here pissed off now

Martin · 06-25-2004, 06:23

Ill keep an eye out for it up here mate

06-25-2004, 06:30

Did you have the diff rebuilt? or...

Mother Nature · 06-25-2004, 06:31

Jeff .... I have posted a link in the E SEries section as well .......

The more eyes looking for her the better

EsP bOy · 06-25-2004, 06:34

hey wat area u live in if u live in werribee or hoppers area ill tell people about it

LG · 06-25-2004, 06:35

I'll keep a watch out.

Did the fellas that worked on your car recently, showed any interest into your XR8?

xacoupe · 06-25-2004, 06:38

Thanks Lisa
Yagz, yes the diff was rebuilt. and had a new waterpump ....
It was flogged in the Caulfield area ..

grrrrr

XRated · 06-25-2004, 06:40

Mother ****ers. This is totally ****ed. I will definitely have my eyes peeled, I am always double-checking ED XRs - especially if they are Sprints.

TIKFD6 · 06-25-2004, 06:51

Jeff as the ED XR specific parts are getting harder to come by, i hate to say it, but this is going to happen more often.

I may have to spend some money on car security very soon.
