Bloody lowlifes! Sorry to hear that this has happened to you. From what I've read, it seems a bit suss to me. Doesn't sound like it was a random hit. I hope it turns up without any damage to it.

Krissy.

That is sad news indeed. I saw this awesome ute at the dyno day (G&D Wkshop) and it sounded fantastic. I think this will be in someones workshop being stripped for parts, so worth keeping an eye out at swapmeets / eBay / trading post.

Not necessarily ... I found my accident how you can bypass smartshield ... I was shocked and disappointed. It's a lot easier to get around than you think.
:

And no ... i am not telling anyone what it is.

I hope you can find the ute ... such a shame as it is such a clean example too.

Hee hee ... I bought an AU work ute ... cos they are ugly ... one reason not to steal it in the first place ... they aren't desirable at all.

Well ... that's my thinking (touch wood).

I find AU utes desirable :

Tis a shame about your ute AU1XLS, must break your heart when its about ready for you to pick up (i assume?) and some (several expletives deleted) goes and steals it.

Hope karma finds them

She was picked up had one decent weekend with her all working properly. Dropped it off for a touch up of the tune on Thursday, they did not get near it so picked it up on the Friday parked at our factory so I could play with on Sunday.
Went to Bendigo to see new twin grandson's born Friday morning, got woken by alarm monitoring company at 5:17am rang mate who got there at 5:30 to find roller door up and 2 blackout burn out marks where she once sat.
Have still not heard anything so we will have to wait and see

Have kept an eye out in the Frankston area but no luck.
You would be amazed at how many white utes there are around, but none that stand out like yours.

Hope it and all the mods were insured.

With any luck the two suss vehicles will lead to a breakthrough and those responsible get what they deserve!!!
