Im putting this up for one of the guys on irishrotary, pretty gutted for him! Can people please keep their eyes and ears open! They are not broken that often so hopefully it can be found!
Not the nicest post to have to make, but I thought I'd share it here in case any of you guys happen to come across it, or get offered any parts from a suspect source etc.. and as a heads up to other RX8 owners..
Anyway, my Rx8 was stolen at approximately 3am on Saturday morning via what is now the normal route to getting a modern car, by breaking into the house to get the keys. Nothing else was taken, and there was plenty of stuff to be had like laptop, phone etc.., so the car was definitely the sole target of the break in. I would have thought that given the very depressed prices of our 8's on the market at the moment, that my neighbors Audi would have have made a far better proposition; but alas the 8 was what they were after, and according to the Gardi, for parts. There were five or more other cars taken in the Kilcock area that night, so my hopes that I'll come across it abandoned down a country lane with a pair of baldy rear tires is pretty low unfortunately, but in the unlikely event that it just sitting somewhere, I'll leave the details here and maybe another 8 owner may spot it -
Reg 04D78500
40k -ish miles
Black
Stainless Exhaust
Petit Racing Short shifter
Rear tint
USB port in center storage tray (behind gear shift) for mp3.
Defining marks: 2 very small indentations above drivers door from where a locksmith opened the car with the keys inside.
2 inch scratch to the rear of the petrol cap - touched up matt black.
Black side repeater lens covers (not in picture below)
Needless to say I'm pretty gutted, dreading the inevitable battle with the insurance company, and not too hopeful I can replace her with another mint low miler..
... on the plus side, at least I did another crew of robbing skum bstards out of a few quid... tax is out since the start of this month..
