STOLEN 220 GSi Turbo

Post by WELZ »

Ross Lewis' car was stolen a few hours ago tonight in solihull in birmingham by some tinky winky scum bag around 8pm onwards. :evil:

This is the car.

The reg is L292 THP

Car was currently up for sale and is thought that it was stolen by someone who rang up previously.

If anybody has any information (see's the car or is offerd the car or any parts) please PM Ross lewis or myself as we have got to find this car.

Few things to look out for is the one off stainless steel exhaust system, 214 badge on the back, 17' wheel mania alloys.

Cheers

It'll turn up, but I wouldn't hold your breath there'll be much left of it. :( Will probably be found burnt out. :(

I'm out Coventry way so i'll keep me eyes peeled at least. :(

Rovers ain't exactly in demand, so it'll just be some cnut out for a joyride, like you say somone who's already been to see it. :(

Bugger :(

Suprised someone in Birmingham, with a Rover 220 GSi Turbo, had not spent their first amount of spare cash on an aftermarket, cat 1 alarm and immobiliser :|

Hope you find it mate.

No updates, not a peak! About the alarm thing, the car was booked in for a cat 1 the day after it was taken!

And he doest really live in a ruff area either. Doesnt matter where you live, if they want a car, they'll get it!
