    I was reading through hoping that they'd been killed, but sadly not Looked like it was a very tidy car, too

    thanks heaps guys, im trying to figure out what i will buy, i would love another mk1, finding the right one is hard as i need something that i can step into and drive with no work required. My dad is hinting to maybe a mk3 if i can get a bit of extra money together just something reliable etc.

    Depending on what i can find will also dictate whether i buy my car back from nrma, we were going to switch it accross to shannons but didnt get to it in time, then i would just get the car back no questions without having to buy the damn thing back.

    Mate, sorry to hear about your mk1 & hope all goes well with your insurance. Hopefully you'll be able to find another mk1 in good condition soon. They are out there.
    I also hope you'll be able to find out who it was & dish out your own punishment as the cop's will probably just give them a slap on the wrist & $150 fine. The justice system suck's arse at the moment.

    Good place to start would be local GP's, hospital's etc. for recent car injury's & what not on the night they took it, to get some names.

    This happened to one of my friend's car's a few years ago & we had to do our own investigation's as the local cop's are useless (It's just too much work for them to do!). Anyway we found out who it was. From what I understand he still isn't walking to well now!

    If you do a good enough job of it where everytime they wake up, they have something to remember you by, they'll learn.

    Unfortunatly they walked from the accident, in a way im happy that they rolled it because, that was the last corner before they were out into the bush and then i wouldnt have gotten anyting from it at all. the guy who does forensics around here is a good friend of mum and dads from the local vw club, so they are going to make sure some work gets done on the car, if they name the two assholes who did it they won't be walking right for a while either.

    Heartbreaking

    Buy it back if you can. Too much good stuff left on it to let it go. If it does go to auction (which I doubt) it'll go cheap.

    Sorry. A sad day .
