Well just wanted to say the friendly crew at Harbourside Police (where i hang out) managed to recover this mini after they had a pursuit with it and the offenders dumped to car. I must say though, i feel sorry for the owner. I had a look at it today whilst it was getting DNA tested and finger printed, the Rear suspension is rooted, both rear rimsare rooted, passanger seat missing .... i wouldnt want it back, i hope it gets written off.

Anyways Catch Ya

"The original and only SWORKS"

UUUUUUmmmmmm ......NO




You watch.... the insurance company will write it off, he'll lose the lot, get a small payout..... then he can buy the car back from the government auctions - at a loss!!!
