Norbert Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Not mine but a colleague's.....-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Stolen Ford Fiesta 1.1 Mk2 GHIA Rosso Red 1988 Reg. E349 VJWThis restored car was stolen from the driveway at my home in Birmingham between 3am and 6am on 4/7/17. Note the distinctive chrome trim around the windows & bumpers (except tailgate). The paintwork was scuffed on the nearside rear end by the thieves pushing it off the drive. If you see this car, please contact the Police, the Fiesta Club GB or myself (PM me (Norbert) and I'll pass details on). Your help would be appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One family owned from new (it was my colleague's mother-in-law's when first bought) as well. Bloody shame. Mods, please delete / move / etc if inappropriate. Apologies if I've missed anything.
fordperv Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Thieving fucking bastards need their testes ripping off and smashing down their throat, then given a good kicking I've just shared this on retrorides Norbert, strangeangel, eddyramrod and 1 other 4

Junkman Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Bastards. Hope they turn up with maximal damage. EFA
Split_Pin Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Awful, I'd be absolutely consumed if that happened to me
Junkman Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Car stolen happened to me only once.In 1985 I had the only appropriate car for driving around in pre reunification Berlin - a '74 Buick Electra 225 4 door hardtop in Burgundy, with the 455 4v.It was nicked and used as a getaway car for a bank robbery. Well, I could see to that, despite the car was seized and never again released.Fucking criminals, running a bank. But hauling a brick through the original dealer sticker adorned back window of my 405 estate by some local hoodies? Not no, fuck no! What the fuck do those thunderdolts have in mind when they steal a bloody Fester?They would have been subjected to Hitler's euthansia laws just for that. Ghosty 1
Ghosty Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Agreed. I see only one reason it could be stolen - to ring a rotten XR2i. AlabamaShrimp 1
neil1971 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 There is an all Fiesta banger meeting at Hednesford on 23rd July so very much hope there's no connection with that and the car is found safe and intact. I've been watching bangers since I was a kid but sadly there is a a small undesirable element in the sport in amongst the majority of decent folk and we can't pretend otherwise
AlabamaShrimp Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 All Fiesta meet... I would like some doors, bonnet and stuff but they cost a fortune. Sod it lets smash some up! I know this has been gone over a thousand times before but I'm a moaning git!
eddyramrod Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Between the 4th and 23rd is probably enough time to prep a banger... I hope I'm wrong but that's where I'd be going with the rozzers looking at VINs.
cobblers Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Would an XR not have a different VIN code?If it's being rung then the VIN number is obviously gonna be taken from the none-hooky car
Ghosty Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 If it's being rung then the VIN number is obviously gonna be taken from the none-hooky car This, they'll take it off a kippered XR shell and stick it on the lowly one. Also, people aren't clever.

Felly Magic Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Fucking low life vermin, need vasectomies using 2 housebricks, then their balls smothered in BBQ sauce, then set on by a hungry pack of dogs eddyramrod, danthecapriman and strangeangel 3
neil1971 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Fair enough, wasn't looking to restart that debate but just provide information that the OP may not have been aware of I pmd the op about this earlier as i didnt want to start the omg banger racer debate as it's done to death
fordperv Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Fair enough, wasn't looking to restart that debate but just provide information that the OP may not have been aware ofI was in no way poking at you for the info, its a good call to be fair
Lankytim Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 All fiesta bangers? that's going to be crap! Still worth going up and seeing if it's there.
Norbert Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks to all that have helped out with this,I've given allthe info to the owner. Hopefully it'll be found intact, but that looks less likely all the time. Thanks again!
