Defender stolen from Solihull

[Mars]

Wondered if you locals wouldn't mind keeping your eyes open for my brother's Landy, stolen from his drive in Solihull earlier this evening.

Full description here:

But briefly:

Green "extreme" Defender, full suspension lift, big MT tyres, winch on the front, soft top. Reg N311 PRY.


Thanks.

Greg's Landrover?

Ian or Nigel?


From the pest of a girl who lived at No35

[Mars]

Hi Ali.

I'm Nige. Greg will be pleased you're on here. I'll give him a nod.

Long time - what a suprise

[Mars]

I was just wondering if anyone could recognise me from my profile pic. It was chosen deliberately to be a little ambiguous but I hope I'm distinctive-enough not to be confused with Ian.

But oh, I've a hat on. Can't see that I've a full head of hair.

[ali_kat]

Well, I wouldn't have done, but then it has been at least 15 years!

[Mars]

Ah yes. I showed my wife what I looked like when I was at school. She didn't think it was the same person. I should have gone into the spy-game or something because any pics taken of me prior to about 1995 would not be recognisable as me now.

Pity I'm such a self-publicist though and jump into frame whenever anyone pulls a camera out.

[ali_kat]

Nor me evidently!

[Mars]

I left Knowle originally in about 1997 although I came back after a year. Then went to Uni in 1991->1995 but stayed with the folks during my hols. Then left finally when I graduated and I'm only an occasional frequent visitor now.

I'm always amazed just how few people I know "in the real world" are on PH.

i'll keep my eye out for you and spread the word on my local car club site,

[Mars]

Thanks very much.

Sad to say that as each day passes, the liklihood of it turning up diminishes.

[Grandmasterbt]

anytime,
its a real shame when you lose your pride and joy,
i'll keep my ears to the ground and ask around see if anyone has spotted it

[ali_kat]

I hate to ask... any good news yet?

[Mars]

Nothing. He's given up now and is just looking forward to an insurance payout, which will never be what the truck was worth but...


At least he is now interesting in replacing it. At first he thought he could never love another ( ) but his enthusiasm can't be broken for long.

[ali_kat]

It never could be, I remember being grounded for the pair of us coiming up with a ghost of a golfer so graphic it stopped Ian & Neil sleeping for a week....
