Dboy 0 Posted January 26, 2004 taken from http://www.passionford.com this car belongs to a reputable tuner who has made it his lifes work getting this cossie to this spec!!! awesome piece of kitand its worth well in excess of 30k!! if you guys could post this on as many forums as you can it would be appreciated. time for us to strike back and catch the thievin fookers!! Last night at 10pm in the Castle Bromwich/ Smiths Wood area of Birmingham I was car jacked in the 3dr cossie. A silver rover 400 cut in front of me to stop me moving, whilst a number of masked guys approached the car. They smashed the drivers window punched me in the face and dragged me from the car. They hit me over the head and then proceded to try to beat me up and steal my wallet. I managed to defend myself and get away with my wallet and phone but unfortunately the 3dr was taken. I have been to hospital and had stitches in my head and am now back home recovering but urge anyone who may have any idea about this to contact me. There will be a reward for the return of the car. Lastly if you can all be vigilant should the car be broken and sold in bits or to any breakers please be aware of people trying to sell cosworth parts. Theres very little standard about the engine bay so if you should be offered any of the parts fitted to my car please let me know. If you need pictures of the car to remind yourself look in the gallery on my website. Many thanks. _________________ Best regards, Karl Norris Motorsport Car has now been found in one piece!!!

Jim 2 Posted January 26, 2004 This is getting to be a screwed up state of affairs. But for now all the government want to do is keep putting up more speed cameras.. what the hell is that doing to help out honest motorists like that guy. NO ONE should have to go through something like that. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can now get a proper car! 3dr whaletails rock!!!! 8) :lol: ...........ok ok so i also like allegro's but 3dr cossies still do it for me and an Escort cosworth is probably one of the few cars that would tempt me out of my C.............and considering they(Escort cossies) must have been built side by side at Karmann with our beloved C's they cant be that bad :wink: anyway glad that the scum have been caught and the guys whaletail is intact :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dboy 0 Posted January 27, 2004 ...again taken from http://www.passionford.com ..........Karl hasnt made an appearance on there yet but a message left on his behalf..... Hi, The car was recovered last night, and both of the original posts have a message from karl, but written by me. I was asked to respect Karl's wishes to allow him to try and forget this horrific incident and have of course done this to the best of my ability. The messages are still available to be read, but locked. Hope this helps mate ....im sure there will be details to follow, but as stated, at present i think Karl just wants to try and recover and put it behind him :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dboy 0 Posted January 27, 2004 from Karl...... I'd just like to say the biggest thankyou to everyone that has helped out not to mention the huge number of emails/pm's/phone calls to offer help and support! I can only say I am astounded at how people have come together to help find the car! My most sincere thankyou to everyone! As this situation has been most stressfull I would appreciate it, if people would now respect my wishes to be given some time to myself rather than discussing the situation on these sites. I'm sure in the months to come I will be able to meet many of you in person and offer my thanks for all the support I have recieved. Thankyou everyone. _________________ Best regards, Karl Norris Motorsport Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
