Sorry to see this mate. Shocking.

I've just sent an email to my Edinburgh office to ask them to keep an eye out.

Good luck mate with your search.

Fee, I hope you see the car again but from the sounds of it the police arent exactly on the ball.

I hope you find a replacement car for the first round of TA

I think the first round will be pushing it a bit

I'm just going to sell my spaces as and when they approach, with the hope of being able to do a couple nearer the end of the year
I don't want to admit defeat and sell the whole season....even if I have to run round the track at the final

we've had an offer of an old honda powered elise to use... I dont think its a bad offer but the car would need work to meet TA regs etc...

Just need to try and convince Fee LOL

I don't want to borrow a friends car
Our luck doesn't seem to be great with cars at the moment and don't want to have to pay for a replacement car for us and a replacement car for a friend too
My pockets aren't that deep!

Car has now been found. Apart from damage to the ignition and door lock, it seems to be fine.
What a relief!
