Throw some pictures up on here and also send a notice with pics to MCCNSW http://www.miniclub.com.au/index.htm.


Who should i sent the notice to ?
Nothing that really stands out, ther is a bit of red bog and paint visible, thanks to those stickers in the above photo. as well as still having the 09 drive you mini day sticker in the rear window, the chrome strips under the indicators are on crooked and her right hand brake light is out.
otherwise she is a stock strait late mini K.


Thanks for the support guys.

phew, another crisis averted.

kill switch on the white wire, and a club lock.

club will pay $1500 bux towards your insurance if your car gets knicked while its got a club on it.

Awesome to hear you have it back relatively unscathed.

Pull the rotor button out. Yes it's a little annoying, but it wont run if it isnt there, Kill switches and club locks can be gotten around by a deternmined thief

a determined thief might as well arrive with a flatbed truck.

the club is great at stopping those opportunistic bloody teenage joy riders.

they found her in Sylvania, not 5 km away about 24 hrs after i reported it, parked in a street, the windows were left open over night and it rained, not damaged, nothing stolen only thing wrong was all the front carpet was pulled up and piled to one side and the ignition barrel is screwed, boot was a mess too but everything appears to be there, didn't even use much fuel. I'm going to work on a kill switch as soon as she has been fingerprinted, Mechanical fuel pump so there goes cutting the fuel, so isolating the battery seems the best bet, not enough room to get the dizzy cap off so i cant take the rotor button.

one thing I'm doing is increasing the insurance , 6k just isn't enough, she is going up to 10k on Monday.

I cant believe how lucky i am, not many people are this lucky.
