Default Re: Cars you don't see many of anymore

Nah mate pre that area was in Petersham.
I heard of that collusion- it was rife everywhere really but I think it was really out west where a lot of control for car theft occuring early ‘90’s.
Doing that commy up I frequented a lot Granville and further west.
From sources in my industry that many were offered hot parts and cars these select gangs had paid off countless employees in the RTA known back then and would find out where every HSV Ticky etc etc was garaged.
I know for my car ended up at someones place I knew through business and he called me very early morning that I missed for he said he could have bought it back of all bloody things go figure.

I reckon a thief spotted it whilst on the road got my plate number and address rest is history.
Just thankful the cops got them via a long car chase and didn’t give up when they abandoned the car and ran off chasing them.
And I only just upped the insurance and they thought I was doing a you know what lol
