Sorry to hear about the Beast.I hope they can at least figure who it was.Maybe then you could at least make life more miserable for thier parents.

I am quite certain that some other form of transport will come your way.

Hi Mark

Hey Mark,

As I said on the DfH-forum, really sucks what they did.  :o

I saw you are worried about the insurance's valuation of the beast. So I thought, let's have a look on the net. Maybe you should ask the people on http://fordtransit.org/forum/ to back your story when upping the price.

They can probably hook you up with a new transit 1 too. If that's possible you might be able to convince the insurance company to do a rebuy. So they pay for replacement. My insurance does that. At least for the lens I broke at the LMS Spa race.

Insurance companies, especially the departments that do car-damages, look at lists with value of cars per day or even worse, check autotrading websites. So if you get a few hundred pounds back (as they are on the net for prices between 300-600 pounds for cars in decent condition) you are probably "lucky".

Mark - bad news indeed - a sad loss to the motoring world - with the thrashing that they generally got as working vehicles a 30k one is hard to find.   Hope that the CCTV foootage wasn't too grainy and that you can exact some form of revenge - just remember that dish is best served cold when they are least expecting it!

Sorry to read this thread Mark. 

Why on earth do they do that sort of thing. 

I know I like to destroy the odd thing or two but atleast it's my stuff I destroy.

Mark, sorry about the van, even though I never met it!

If you find out who dunnit I will happily come along to engage myself in separating their arms from shoulders so they never do it again. >:(

Hope you can find a suitable replacement.

Looks like Donnington is a goer, but with work the way it is I still can't 100% commit. In fcat it probably won't be until the last day that I can finally say yes, but it is looking OK.
That would be great. Just come back from Italy, and I bought two nice items for you at the PX ;)
