geez... sorry to see this happen.
i myself am victim of some senseless random vandalism....
luckily it was just some eggs which left a small dent and some foul smell with hardened egg yolks and shell pieces.
not damage to this extent.. hope u can have it fixed to its original condition soon.

'Cos it's a everyday driver and not a "classic", were the reasons given to me.

I suppose they took you on because you have other cars with them...???

im with shannons too.... great blokes to deal with.
maybe because i was an active commettee memeber for Club Audi NSW (MKII) back then, and we had dealing with Shannons...
they actually pay more attention to the motorsports/car show events...
the dude i was dealing with actually knows my other mazda

Let us know your experience. There have been suggestions (but no real reports here) that JustCars can play hard

Well, I found my old ****...(hmm, possibly could have expressed that a little better ) but nothing heard so I guess our Essendon friend has discovered the delights of Auto-Exe, Momo, etc.

Offer still stands if you need it.

Yep, it's the Auto-Exe titanium number. Just screws on - so simple, I managed to fit it!

Glad you clarified that request Eric - don't want to scare the innocent.

If and when 'er indoors either fixes or purchases a new digi cam, I'll post a piccie. I'll also have a look for the catalogue item in JapanParts.Com. Meanwhile, I can report that it's like an upside down teardrop shape, is weighted and is nowhere near as long as the one playa posted. Will try to find pic for you guys.

Speaking of piccies, I've got a buyer for my wheels I think. He saw them today and has agreed to buy. Just gotta get them off my car. Rims are here - just waiting on the rubber to come up from Melbourne.

Just a quick but sincere thank you to all as I have come out the other side reasonably whole but extremely lighter in the hip pocket ($577.40 plus GST) for window & **** and yet to replace the MATCHING window tint. Also chose the high spec alarm to hopefully act as a deterrent if not wake the neighbours nest time, will see!

If I catch the *&$%^** I’ll deposit the **** where the sun don’t shine and take up one of the replacement offers!

Deeply scared but back on the bitumen cheers

RXVIII.

thats a nice one. looks like it has some nice "hold" shape too...
how is it during a hot day?
used to have a couple of aluminium MOMO ones, and they'd get too hot to touch during a hot day. (i know, should've learnt my lessons with the first one )

im currently deciding on one of the following *****..








thats all... thanks for lisetening

if i remembered correctly, we have paid that much for a drivers side 2nd hand window for a Honda CRX (Del Sol).....

Nice to see you up and drivng again RXVIII!

I have Hymee short shifter.. so I can lend you my stock shifter so you can deposit the item deep into the rectum.

Mind you the recto-sigmoid junction is a bit of the twist and aim towards the umbilicus (so as an experienced endoscopist told me)

Hey,

Just let me have ago! Aiming as far as the colon, then again the reverse direction maybe the other option!
