I'm not sure if I'd buy another tbh. I loved the one i had because it attached me to memories of childhood and family, not because of what it was.

Heard this past week that the cops identified a scrote via DNA and arrested him. They asked me for photos of the Puch to use in the interview. He "no commented" his way though the interview and they had to release him on bail, before searching his house. Obviously they found nothing, but potentially found a few items that might lead them to other lines of investigation.

So, now hoping the scrote doesn't pay a repeat visit.

Horrible scrotes.
The little wanker that nicked my X-ADV just used it as his own mode of transport. When I got it back it had a quadlock and bar muffs on it. He literally bypassed the immobiliser and stuck a cloned plate of another Honda on it and just used it as his daily transport! I almost admired his cheek in one way, but was angry that hapless fecks like that, who cant earn a living decided to have the same spoils by helping themselves to other peoples! :evil:
I hope that you don't mind me stepping into the conversation here, but something good happened yesterday as I went to collect my grandsons from school.
Coming off the roundabout approaching the school, people were on the road stopping traffic. So I did a U-turn. As I did I glanced over to see a young gent on the road in front of a what I think was a Ford Ranger pickup. A massive thing. The bonnet had a dent in it that I would have had difficulty replicating with a sledge hammer. I said to my Mrs something along the lines of "If that has hit him I hope he is OK". At my grandsons school I heard locals chatting. One said, "Such and such has been run over" The other person replied, "I wonder if it was done on purpose, he deserves whatever he gets" Well, it turns out that the bloke on the road had been one of 3 people riding a stolen bike. The 2 other ran off and left him. One bike thief down. :D There is a God after all. And he was not a gent. He was a little wanker.

While I appreciate keeping the conversation going, I'm not sure this thread is really the right place..... :)
