I have just been speaking to Jo, builder of the mighty TVR/Golf and unfortunately some lunatic has tried to steal it (to do what with?!) and has made a bit of a mess of the car. Jo has nowhere to store the vehicle and is now threatening to sell it. He doesn't want to and would like to do at least another year of events with it. I am convinced we must be able to find somewhere to securely store the car from now through to the new year. Has anyone got any options? Jo is based in Doncaster so the nearer the better but all ideas considered!
Please help!!!
Alternatively, if you have a very serious offer on the car then mail it to Jo at jm014e5172@blueyonder.co.uk

John
I'd offer Jo my garage to store the car in mate.. but I live near Heathrow...

its got to be better to have it secure in heathrow than getting messed up elsewhere. at least it'll be safe!
-
what bar stewards
i'd go for an optional 410v system hooked up to the body of the car, will instantly kill anyone who touches it, mind you the bit they touched will be a bit moulten. Let me know :wink:
-
You need 1 of these.. :wink: :evil:

sorry to hear that. Any idea what damage has been caused?

John this car has been quite an ambassador for this site, can we not get together and between us all, pay for a garage for Jo?
I'm sure we can sort something out............and Jo, so sorry to hear about this :angry:

I've got a mate with a farm, in a small village in lincolnshire, he's a bit of a tit, but he's honest and he's billy no mates, so not much chance of hoards of ppl piling round to his, i can ask him about storage, as i know he lets sum bloke keep jap imports there, he may however require some insentive,(as i said he's a tit), but it would be tucked away, v nicely indeed, pm me if you want me to enquire and to what he'd offer to stick it there, if it'd been my farm, no probs, id've built him a glass box for it....
Core....

Looks like the Jo is the latest victim of the recent curse of the GolfGTI forum members ! :angry: :angry: If I had anywhere to keep it I would offer all day but unfortunately I'm stuck too. Maybe HARDCOR3's "tit" mate might be an option and it's probably not a million miles away from Jo in Doncaster. :undecided:

I cant believe these people, if you have an interest in cars then u dnt try and steal/damage someone elses, especialy a nice one (that sort of sounds a bit shallow) but what i am getting at is, take me for example i love cars so wouldn't ever consider damaging a nice one or trying to steal one wither (besides the fact i am not a chav).
It defeats the object of liking nice cars, u dnt vandalise them.
These people must claim they like cars, thus targetting a one of a kind car!!Senseless vandalism, it winds me up!!

F**KIN idiots , what were they execting to gain from stealing it ? 3 reasons
1. Everyone in the golf owning world will know this car and if its seen out on the streets the police will have been called , and theres no-way they could have sold it
2. if they had got into it and started it it probablt would have woken up the entire street
3. they would have crashed it 300+ bhp in a rwd golf with a chav at the wheel ??? disaster
i like RICHs idea , theres got to be 40-50 harcore members here that are allways online i think if we could all club together and Jo is willing to accept we could sort something out near to him ??
