Think about this: The Inland Revenue, contrary to urban legend, concentrate on small business and self-employed people
Maybe Ted could set up a poll - one vote per username, but the results wouldn't reveal who's who.
One or two, I expect
I would go for another Griffith, but I feel the process of specifying each and every bit is really what makes the car yours. There does appear to be a few Griffith SE's around, but as they are built to someone else’s taste (some are really nice though!) I'll consider a Tamora.
My insurance policy states that since the car was less than a year old they will replace it with the same model and spec, since that is not going to happen I reckon they should settle for stumping up for the cost of a Tamora, as there would be little or nothing in the difference between what I paid for the Griffith.

Ahh, One senses the words "cloud" and "silver lining" coming together.

Scrotes try my Vixen one night. See alarm LED and throw a brick at my front door. I come out and lad from over the road says they tried it then threw the brick. Run down the road and clock the gits driving off. Give description to the police and part of plate. Nothing happened.
Heart goes out to you. I know how I feel over mine getting damaged by scrotes (Vixen bit was 10 years ish ago)
Little git in my earlier post (thread 1) is 11, can't be done until he is 12. Nicks or attempts every day. In court one day then in court the next for nicking the day before.

Kenneth,
Sorry to read about your loss, they should find the people that did this, tie their arm's and legs to 2 TVR's going in opposite diretcions (very fast) with some very strong rope 'snap'
That would be too good for them.....
I had a car stolen once, stupidly left my wallet in a jacket behind the seat, anyway later that day the dozy twat only walked into my bank (where I worked) and tried to cash some money...
Needless to say he was apprehended by myself (6'4) and about 8 of my male colleages who held him in an interview room for an hour before the police arrived...
They were as stunned as he was that he got caught...!
he got 3 years in total for all the cars he admitted to stealing/burning/deception/fraud/possesion of drugs!
Sometimes justice is served....

Makes me feel really sad and very angry.
If they catch anyone - let us know when it goes to court. We must have a Mass Pistonheads turnout, line the streets shouting very rude names
, hurl some abuse
and glare at the beak to get the highest possible penalty.
What an excellent idea! Can you imagine the effect if enough of us were to follow that through? I'm all for publishing the ba

A friend of mine had his wife's car stolen.
A day or two later he was driving a minibus full of rugby players (he was the club secretary) through a town on their way to a local match, he stopped at a red light and to his amazement his wife's car drew up next to him beign driven by a spotty little git with three of his mates.
All the boys piled out of the minibus and absolutely smacked the shite out of the theiving gits in the car..........true story!.

Yeah, go for it. It's faster than a Griff, more comfy, handles miles better, as is an all round good egg!

well a couple of years ago, i had a knock at the door.. The police had just caught some scroate going through the door on my range rover ( mint 1971)...
apparently he had tried about 20 cars on the same road whilst walking back from town....
as people called in the law came out an followed him..
I never got any compensation or insurance due to the excess but the law sent out the wrong form to tell me he had been sentenced to 3 months... they accidentaly included his address. So once i checked it was him i photocopied the letter and put it under every car windscreen i could find....
The little shit got beaten up everytime he left the house for about a year till they had to move
tee hee
as for the bastards that torched that griff... if they every catch them i'd strap them in the remains and tourch the rest...
The best one I have ever heard came from a friend of mine who is a traffic copper. They chased these two vermin in a stolen Sierra Cosworth and finally after hitting a "stinger" device they ended up going straight accross a round-a-bout and taking the sump out. The two cars in chase then pulled alongside so the scumbags couldn't get out of the car doors and removed one of them by pulling him through the now broken window "Oh dear, you appear to be receiving cuts, Sir"
The other one didn't want to come out of the car because of the large Alsation waiting for him outside , so they sent the dog into him!!!!
"Good Boy" "fetch" and unfortunatley, once again, "Oh dear, you appear to be receiving cuts, Sir"
When they got to the Hospital for their obligatory stitches, guess who was there to stitch these two tossers up?? Yes, you guessed it.................... my mates big Sister "knit one, pearl one......
Bugger the courts, let the old Bill administer the appropriate punishment, most of them are sick of having to stand and watch scum like this be rapped over the knuckles and allowed straight back out to re-offend. Six months of being buggered in a prison cell by "Big John" would be a start.......
