Well it appears that it is known where the car is and who has taken it...................................... Allow me to tell you a true story.... There once was a Generator that was busy pumping water out of a manhole to allow "communication" engineers to work on a damaged cable. As if by magic said generator stopped working and was seen being hoisted into a vehicle and driven off into the sunset......... Reg no given to local plod and advice also forwarded, said plod, rather than go in all guns blazing to the local travellers site decided to send the offenders a letter asking them if they would like to return said Generator.................. You really couldnt make it up!! By the way, we never did see the Generator again...................

Well as long as these banger lads keep doing this kind of thing, then we should consider them ALL TO BE THIEVES. If those who organise this sport turn a blind eye to such actions then we should have the right to shoot anyone connected with banger racing on sight. Sure, there ARE some honest guys, but until THEY stand up to the crimnals in their own ranks, we should consider them ALL SCUM. How about a mass infiltration of 'banger forums' to put across how miffed we are?? I hate to inform you my friend, but you clearly are a complete penis. You have no proof that the car was stolen by a banger driver, or anybody related to racing, and brandishing the whole community as thieves is quite honestly ridiculous. I understand you lot love your cars, but many banger drivers have classics of their own, and to be honest, the though of shooting anybody to do with racing is far more barbaric than stealing a car!! Feel free to invade banger forums, there are plenty around. Cheers!

You seem pretty decided upon the matter that banger racers are thieves. So I put it to you, prove that the hundereds, possibly thousands of people who partake in banger racing every year, have all stolen the cars they have or are racing, and I might beleive you, but not all banger drivers are thieves, very few are, and you are simply trying to bad name the sport.
I also beleive you don't know too much about the sport; "It's a matter of time WHEN this car turns up on the dirt oval (not IF)". Are you implying that it would be raced on a dirt track rather than a well established stadium because it might've been stolen?
I guess we're never going to aggree on the matter, but being good friends with many racers I KNOW that they're not thieves, perhaps you should pop along to a meeting sometime and speak to some of them, you will see 99% are friendly guys (and girls) and wouldn't be interested in a stolen car.
BANGER DRIVERS ARE NOT THIEVES, and the sooner you realise this, the better.

is it just me, or do banger racers not understand sarcasm?
thats 2 in 24hrs that have assumed you're either going to shoot someone or burn their children!
great first post headonhappy. the point that we are making is that, quite a few retro tin (which we all love - hence, Retro-Rides) is being stolen and a large proportion of these are ending up on the oval tracks. I don't think i need to tell you that this doesn't make us best pleased and yet there seems to be nothing done by anyone. Sure, all the 'good' banger racers say, 'oh, well its not us, so nothing can be done' but they still associate with the people that do steal and race cars; they still allow them to come to race meetings. For that reason alone, banger racers deserve to be tarnished with the same brush just to get something done about it because no matter what - it is THEFT and should not be allowed under any circumstances.

HeadonHappy... We KNOW that not all banger racers are theives. But we also know that this: from this to this Just digest that for a moment. If this does turn out to be THE car and THE person that stole it and raced it, then surely a head should roll. This has been curse word me off all afternoon since i first spotted it. Is the work of a thief. That thief is RUBBLE aka Mitchell Mills. As long as thieves like him are welcomed and condoned within banger racing then all banger racers who stand idly by and do nothing are guilty by association. I realise I have no concrete proof re. the PC Granada. But I expect that there is a good chance of me being right about it.

Once again, you are brandishing Rubble as a thief, but you have no evidence. There has been talk about this on another forum. And an anonomous person has said the car was stolen, and passed on through several people's hands before getting to Rubble's. IF it was the stolen car, I aggree something should be done, but maybe a little bit more research and proof should be gained before you start spreading the word that somebody is a thief.

I know it sounds bad. But if you comb through the old posts about the datsun it's a sorry tale. When it was first stolen we jumped to the conclusion that it would get bangered. How naughty of us? then it all went quiet for a bit. A few months back, information filtered through about the car's whereabouts, and who was responsible for taking it. The name in connection that time was..... Rubble. this information was cascaded from here by the moderators etc. to the relavant authorities. And so it was no shock at all to us really when the car was destroyed, by this rubble character, last night. Unless he has a secret stock of (very rare) 180B SSS's in light met blue, what other conclusion are we supposed to draw?

by the same accord, this 'anonomous person' could be 'Rubble' trying to shift the blame... ...even if 'Rubble' was not responsible for the actual stealing of the car; he was still handling stolen good which is an offence. To discuss this issue further please go to this thread.

Twait. p.s. what was '*EDIT* Just seen that the person is also registered on here going by the name of "HoTWire"' all about?

At the end of the day, Banger racing needs regulating as at the moment it appears to be a free for all. I have sugested on the PPC forum that banger meet organisers should only accept cars with intact (and obviously not tampered with) chassis plates/stamps and the vehicles V5 so as to identify the racer as the cars legal owner. There was an argument thrown up about not all old cars having V5's anymore but I don't beleive this to be the insurmountable problem that it was made out to be. For more details, look here: www.practicalperformancecar.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1594I know the majority of banger racers are honest folk, I'm friends with some. But I know there are also a lot of travellers associated with it as it's very nature attracts them. I now a couple of racers who have shown off how much money they have spent on some of there race cars that the previous owners sold them in good faith with promises of impending touching up to make concours. But there's not much that can be done about them. Smiler.

Headonhappy.
I respect you coming on this forum to state the case for the banger community, but here are the facts:
THE CAR WAS STOLEN, AND IT WAS STOLEN TO BE BANGER RACED - THIS HAS BEEN PROVED ON THE TRACK.
THE PERSON WHO RACED IT WAS VERY DEFINITELY GUILTY OF RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS AT THE VERY LEAST.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS WAS THE SAME CAR ACCORDING TO SOMEONE AT THE MEETING WHO KNEW THE CAR WELL. IF YOU DO KNOW RUBBLE THAN YOU MIGHT WANT TO SUGGEST HE COMES FORWARD TO TRY AND PROVE OTHERWISE.
Perhaps you'd be better off trying to clean up the bad element in banger racing to clear the name of the properly behaved majority.
