Hey all
Some assholes last night broke into my mini and stole an RPM, oil temp gauges and speakers to the value of $600. They tried starting the car but fail as i have a battery isolation switch, they then also tried moving it but failed. If anyone sees these gauges around ebay, or adelaide, can you please let me know, as i am not insured for what was stolen. Here are some pics below.

Cheers Guys

Yea it just one of the plastic switches with the key.
The handbrake is modified to be a fly-off, so it works the opposite to what normally does. (push the button in to lock, then to release the handbrake just lift) The idiot couldnt figure that out.

Lets hope the idiot isn't reading this. :?

Look into drilling a hole in the handbrake under the catch to take a padlock. :wink:

Terrible, I couldn't believe it when Kyle told me. Lucky they didn't get your car.

I have a spare ignition barrel and key somewhere of the same type you have. Did they damage it trying to start it?

Anyways I'll see you later today.
