Unhappy ###OUR P1 STOLEN TODAY###

It's one of the saddest days of my life. 10:30am parked the car at Donnington Paddock Car Park, watched the Motor Racing, returned at 4:15pm to find the car gone.

Would everyone please keep eyes and ears peeled for anyone selling a P1 or P1 bits too cheap. (also Ebay & 'other' bbs')

The officials at Donnington suspect it may have been taken to the Birmingham area, but it could be anywhere and if broken up, everywhere really.

Reg is B3 SCF - P1 Plate number is 0377 (under bonnet nearside pillar)

Miniscoop over blitz Induction on offside
18" Gold Prodrive Alloys
blue lightened pulleys'
White 'Prodrove' sticker over plates front and rear.
Adjustable fuel pressure reg
APS Twin Entry Topmount I/C
Full Jap Innovations Motorsport zort
Blitz LM Induction Kit
Direct Air feed from front wedge
Prodrive Alcon 330mm Upgrade brakes
White lights all round inc. STi rears
PSi3 SECS Monitor
Knocklink unit
Snooper radar detector

Sad, sad day.

This is probably the end of Scoobydom for us.

Steve.

Sad, sad day.


So they suspect it may have gone to Birmingham.So they possibly have had other cars nicked from there.So what the **** are they doing about it????????
I heard previously someone else who had a car nicked from there and it was chased down the motorway and it was recovered(cant remember what type of car)
It makes me p1ss that they know these things and let innocent people spend money to go there ,knowing they may lose their hard earned motors.
I have been there a few times myself,no more tho !!

Sorry to hear you lost yours .
Hope you get another one,probably dont want this one back now.
Good luck.

Sorry to hear that - best of luck getting it all sorted. But don't let the barstools beat you down "the best way to get over a car, is to get into a new car" - or something like that

Sorry to hear it. It isnt the 1st theft of a P1 at a motorsport event that I've heard of. They do seem to target them.

What was the level of security? DiscLok, Barrier lock, blackjax, active tracker etc?
CCTV footage of how it was taken?

Why havent you heard from trackstar yet??

It'll either get used in crime, get a new ID, get broken, or shipped.

I really feel for you mate.

I have heard that if a car fitted with a tracking device is put straight into a shipping container it can mask the signal making it untrackable.
Hope this isn't the case with yours and it gets found in one piece.

Police chased it but couldn't catch it i hear it was found in Birmingham burnt out. 2 other cars broken into on saturday night,but i hear this is a fairly common in the public car parks at Donington

Sorry to hear you've lost your pride and joy mate, I know how gutting it can be. Puts you off getting another though.

Not that you want it back, but any news on the tracker???

Good luck with the insurance and don't take the first offer as they tried to screw me silly with mine on the first one

This was an RB5 belonging to Steve who had it nicked in March 2000 from the Pit Lane @ Donno - just after I'd had a couple of passenger laps - it was chased @ speeds of xxx mph down A42 but let go. It was recovered in Brum along with a couple of ******* a couple of days later.

It was not found in Birmingham burnt out, quote from the RSOC bb by the Chairman.... the stolen car was reported in a "fail to stop" incident by West Midlands Police at 2.00am Sunday Morning in the Stechford area of Birmingham.

Last year at RSOC Nat Day - I think it was 3 cossies that were stolen from the main car park too.

Steve truly gutted for you
