<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hello Everyone
Thanks for all the good wishes - really appreciated made me feel a lot better when I must admit I was feeling pretty bad
Update on Redbreadvan, the Guards found her not too far away after the two joy-riders crashed her into a parked car, head on as far as I know and then smashed the sump on some rocks or high kerbs
Tough luck for them them I had left barely any fuel on board, but the Ban Garda who I spoke to says that the car reeked of petrol so they may have tried to torch it but couldn't. The car has been recovered to the Guard's yard where they are dusting it for finger-prints apparently.
My insurers tell me that they wouldn't be looking to repair the damage as they understand it from the police so it looks like a very sad end to the story for my little car.
Thanks for the tip to
Ray and to
Steven T about the breadvan for sale, bit of a whirlwind but its now sat on the drive outside as a replacement for redbread, I feel a bit disloyal to have replaced her but glad to still be mobile and with a breadvan too - lots of work to do to bring her up to the same level but well a project is fun -will be making a kill switch or imobiliser a bit of a priority if anyone can help I'd really appreciate the tips
Sad to say bye to the little red one though
Best of luck with the new polo
