Latest Update;
REWARD FOR STOLEN RALLY CAR INCREASED
The reward for information leading to the return of Ricky Wheelers rally car has been increased to £3000. Ricky is getting more and more upset at the loss of his infamous car.
The Ford Escort would normally have had the Warrior Engine in place but it was Ricky's wish that his son Mark have a go at the various championships this year and had swapped the Warrior Engine over for a Pinto.
If any of you out there can help, everything will be held in complete confidence, you can either contact Ricky on 07860 242447 or 01355 249792
So e-mail everyone in your address book, tell everyone you know, if offered parts, phone Ricky to check the serial numbers, imagine it was your rally car.........Come on guys....somebody must know something, lets show that the network works and put a stop to this stolen parts market.....and remember the next to go could be yours.
