Not that much $$ when if it was left has the potential to cause a much larger hole in his pocket.

It did do a fair few track days he just didn't advertise his adventures constantly. For the stress he put on it it didn't miss a beat.

No matter what route you go down. If you push a motor to 200%+ it's intended design it's not going to last forever.

what clint said. it was his daily driver, he drove it to hippo, he drove it to the market to pick onions up, he took it out on cruises, and he did as many wanneroo & mc days as he could. he even finished early on thursday nights to drive up to no limits and get a few laps in. it was hardly babied.

shame, as it was well under-insured.

hardly the 'jackpot' of $30 odd k for all that stuffing around.

If your a professional car thief of course they should disapear ASAP...

Thats what seperates the good theifs from the joyriders..well if i was a car theif and stole a car like that, i would strip it asap, sell parts to arranged (and dodgy) buyers, remove vin numbers etc and crush car and bury the wreckage!

No i didnt.
I didn't really care as its non of my business. The events of things that happened certainly seemed too orgainzed beyond what i hear ppl can muster and therefore iv expressed my thoughts online. nothing wrong with that. if im wrong then id gladely apolagize. nothing to it!

I have nothing against grant. Watch your fucking mouth u hobbit.
