Hopefully will find a fairly stock low kms manual, but that's probably wishfull thinking. So many people around me question why I even bother buying another VL turbo, since the car is an outdated model, etc....but they have no idea what owning one for so many years can do. It's like being in a cult, and the fact is, they are getting rarer and rarer, especially ones in mint condition. Anyway, thanks again to everyone who has replied, even to all you bashers out there. I tend to think in the same way, i feel as though i would be willing to kill if i caught the person in the act of stealing the car, but one never knows who they're dealing with.

Quote: Originally Posted by VLC-03L that is a shame.... who knows where it could be my brother thinks i should hire a psychic as they can tell names and addresses of persons who poses your personal items, all i have to do is supply them with a previous part of the car ( i still have the rear parcel tray which i was repairing) Quote: Originally Posted by XCHASE No he didn't hes still riding his bike waiting to get it back. and i am still riding my bike, just recently upgraded to one with disc brakes front and back, mechanical, not hydraulic as i heard the hydraulics can fail randomly. .

heavy story man... hate reading stuff like this. (even if the thread is 3 years old) did you get an insurance payout? build another VL?

Quote: Originally Posted by VL 88 WA heavy story man... hate reading stuff like this. (even if the thread is 3 years old) did you get an insurance payout? build another VL? The thread is 5 years old! Insurance payout, yeah, i had neglected increasing the value insured, so didn't get much. As for building another VL, i'm into originality now, so only untouched clean examples for me. I would love a totally stock unmodified HDT VL Calais LE turbo, low k's, factory 5 speed, showroom condition. I've been looking for one of these for over 3 years now, and had missed out on one by a couple of months before i first started looking. (It's in WA now, the owner frequents this site too, and picked it up for a top price back then)

thread from the dead

why would u post that to bump it?!?!!

I had mine for just as long before it was nicked. It becomes part of the family after awhile. There *may* be hope though. Mine was seen "re-birthed" driving around town so there still IS hope for you.
