I parked behind a few TVRs in my Cerbera on Sunday (behind a brand new chamelon ? paint tuscan s and a few other TVRs (incl C3RBY ? type plate). I noticed that someone has nicked 3 of the metal dust caps off my spider wheels. I assume that someone now has a NOVA with lovely dust caps. Thanks scum bag!

Spooky - I lost one from the rear nearside,of my Chimaera, were silver with TVR logo, not the same by any chance and the B******s wanted a full set.

I lost all 4 of mine at Thruxton and must have been parked pretty close to you (Cooper Green Chimaera) as Paul & Jeff were with your group..

I had only just replaced them after some other theiving scotes had had the previous set away in Poole 3 weeks earlier.

I had tightened the new set with a quarter inch drive socket, so I reckon whoever it was went prepared !

We lost one and another was loose.

Goes with the territory we suppose and we are just grateful the bastard did not scratch the car.

We go to Thruxton regularly and as well as being the most expensive track, the security is the poorest. A guy at the Motorschool apparently had his Jaguar stolen while he was there last year according to the newspaper.

The number is not C3RBY by the way but close.

Someone must have disturbed them cos the buggers came back for another but from my car - if anyone has a spare chrome TVR dust cap with purple lettering then please shout. Will be glad to send a few tinnies in exchange.

This sort of thing really p***s me off. We were there too but appear to have escaped unscathed.

To**ers.

Sympathies to everyone. Hope you get replacements quickly and easily.

Dustcaps going missing seems all to common... get some of the flush fit valves & caps that need a special tool to remove them (fits on the keyring)... problem solved!

Other way round for me: seems to be the kids using my road on their way to school who are nicking them. Haven't had a problem all summer....

Scrotes, ba$tards, toe rags, pikeys ......

Yeah me too. I lost 3 of mine on the Tuscan at Thruxton last Sunday. Think I'll just run round with plastic ones for now but the locking caps sound tempting..

Noticed my levely 'TVR' logo'd ones missing on collecting my car from the dealer last month.

As already said, it's a big problem in the school hol's, and the dealer sheepishly admitted as much and sorted some suitable (no logo though, boo hoo!) replacements.

Currently working on a special hybrid tazzer/valve cap thingy - should be in the shops for Xmas!
