In the US the pumps don't dispense gas until you've already paid with a card or with cash inside the little market they all have.
btw I'm loving this thread for two reasons: 1. What dummy lets a $100k custom built car out of their sight for even a second? 2. Looking at the FB links, cockney is even funnier when it's written. In my head I can only read it like the monty python guys when they're impersonating women.
nah it was legitimately stolen, made the bbc too as far as i remember and i have seen the car in the metal also, not worth breaking or even stealing imo but hey; theirs always a petty theif, preying on yer' scrap.
Was it, where was the reports of the people who did it being arrested? How come it was stolen from plain sight and it needed a laptop to start the thing...
nothing surprises me about cars that "stand out" not being found easily, in the late 80's a group A tarmac rally spec sierra cosworth on slicks was stolen and spent many a happy night bating the police round the north east, as far as i know it was never caught
i'd of thought all you need to do is flick the switches on the dash in a correct order to get her to go, but shit, ill keep a laptop on me from now on incase i lose my keys.
