The Beast Is Dead

[amazing 1]

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.
Things have a way of working themselves out.

Remember the Pope Mobile is for sale.

Hi Mark

I'm sorry about the van  - you should have got it to the safety of Jersey or France sooner!

Hey Mark,

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

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".

Link to Transit on ebay, restoration project...but you want to change it completely anyways right?

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!

Bad luck Mark. What a sensless act, I hope they catch the scum. Makes me..........

I loved that van.  Used to have one very similar to it.  Sorry about your loss Mark.

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.

Sorry to here the bad news, what a bunch of b@st@rds.

I remember seeing it last year en route on the M3, and thinking that after all the preparation etc we're finally getting there/this must be the right week etc

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

Haven't done anything about booking tickets or camping yet but I'm sure I can slot in somewhere.

We're having two cnx at the moment, so plenty of space with us...
