Default My Ex WRX went up in flames...

Last September my Jap 95 WRX with only 40k miles... went up in flames... just got a phone call today to let me know... apparantly someone 4am poured petrol near the bonnet scoop and set it alight...

It was such a nice car... the same night these low life scums not so far away set alight a BMW M3... it's disgusting behaviour and has got to stop...

Just lucky that matey who bought the car and his family are okay as the car was in his drive at the time...

Here's is what it was... a great loss (I had it for 4.5 years before I sold it)

This is the picture I received taken from a mobile phone fom the owner... he didn't even experience the summer with it...

Deviate, does anyone have a link or reference to that picture of the burnt WRX mentioned...

This car was in the Southall (Hayes area)

Crumbs I thought it was bad when on Saturday night near mine, young innocent lovely children sledgehammered the windows of 6 cars in one street, but lighting up a car on a drive is something else
It has happened in St Helens a few times but to see it that close to a house with people sleeping in and to a scooby, it just hits home...
I dont think anyone would have control of their actions if it happened to them.
Glad the family are OK, RIP Impreza it was a nice example too...

Maybe doing the same to the scum that set fire to it would sort them out - AIMHO of course !

Hmmm they set fire to an M3 and an impreza?. Find the nearest EVO owner and you've probably got your man .
People like this should be shot.
