Quite astounded really dude.
First bit of unacceptable banter Ive ever seen on this or any car forum.

A bit of tongue in cheek with people you know is one thing, outright ignorant insults is quite another.

Absolutley unacceptable.

Glad its the first, hope its the last dude.

Hear, hear ... I'd love to write more, but you have to be careful not to feed trolls too ;-)

As said before Mo, let us know what you need and I'm sure we'll be able to find the right parts for you ... It's not that easy these days, but that depends what the damage is. Sills should be easy enough, and there was a whole rear quarter for sale on Ebay from formulacars recently, not sure who that went to though. If all falls through, I may be able to help from this end.

Keep us updated with pics etc!

Yes, I have found always Chinese ways to do things quite nice(girls) as their culture(girls) and language(girls) but especially their music(girls), they have limited often what is needed truth and still they seem to be doing quite well (and girls attractive).

I think i have deleted all of the remarks that were well out of order, the comment was not needed and by no means fair.
Because of this i have deleted the remark.

And Mo i know how something like this happening feels first hand and luckily mine was repaired quickly, if you need any repair advise let me know. Do you have any photos of the damage i can assess?

Good luck on the repair.

I would suggest you do your best to find them as often the police will do nothing. When my old mans car was hit by a drunk hit and run the police were useless we find the car abandond well before they did.

S60-MBS So sorry to see/hear this mate. Some people really are scum!

Looks such a lovely 340 too, especially with the different wheels on outside your house.

Good luck getting the parts to repair it mate!

Hang on, did the lad in the silver tigra not pull out of a drive a few doors down? Or was it a side road? If it was a house surely the owners will know who it was? If it was me, I'd be staking out all the barry haunts looking for that tigra, he ain't gonna sell it, he probably believes it wasn't his fault. If you catch him you might be able to find out who the girl(?) in the corsa was.

Doubtfull it was a drive at the speed he was going.
Think my best guess is the three cars involved were stolen.

Otherwise theyd be all to easy to trace.

Could be wrong, only explanition that makes sense to me though.
