Don't understand those people at all.

Panel gaps etc on that estate are far better than on mine :(

Doesn't look to be orange underneath though.

Hi guys

I picked up the conversation about the 110 Marina through my Flickr stats, just to clear it up with this car - this one was first raced last year at the same meeting, then brought back this year.

I wish you all the best in finding the stolen Marina, whilst there are some not so sound people associated with the sport of Banger Racing the overwhelming majority are appalled by cars being stolen, whether to race or not. Indeed racers are often the victims of thefts as many have classic cars on the road which are attractive targets, and more recently a spate of Hiab thefts.

Cheers Mookster, I gather from the chat over on Ovalchat that there is an increasing intolerance of dubiously acquired cars in the Banger fraternity now which can only be to the greater good for all concerned.

After what happened with the Practical Classics Mk.1 Granada people associated with the sport are taking a much more serious line when it comes to stolen cars, whilst it had been going on for years before it was never given the importance the matter deserved until that Mk.1 was stolen......the last thing we want is another incident like that
