Yeah I just read this on another forum. Pretty insane as its not like a a typical roadcar with just a key to get it started.

Was just about to post this as well, a shit load of sxoc'ers have been out last night looking for it to no avail. The others, me included have been on the Vauxhall forums, which seem to be full of complete knobbers, who'd have thought it :D Most seem to find it funny, but I think they know I don't now :nod:

Theiving scumbags,
it's amazing the bollocks of some people, you thought you would have been safe at Santa pod just like any other track etc...

surely it must be someone with a bit of a knowlege of this car? i mean i've personally not seen it myself but surely it has a removeable kill switch and steering wheel? :s unless of course they left it running unattended which seems really stupid.

unreal, it's not really as if you could do much with it either being it's rather distinctive build !!! ...

Shipped abroad or broken for spares

Was it knicked on the trailer ? Or some just drive off in it

From what I can make out it was driven away. I haven't been to the pod but how can you drive straight out? Isn't there some sort of gate like Snetterton?

Santa Pod, Donny (that scooby stripped), NEC, no car events are safe anymore wouldnt take a nice motor unless it was actually in the show. Years ago at the Pod i see a flashy motor being loaded up on an ex AA motor, nothing odd, later over took it on the A14. Once home see reports of a motor going missing! Shocking.......

ALL car events are an easy touch.
There's loads of nice cars dfinintely going to be there, so seeing one leaving is nt unusual, nor is seeing them with people round them gawping, people loading them or towing them.
Add to that the amount of distractions with briefings, circuit action, crashes........just look at how many cars get f*cked about with at the Autosport International show.............I can't imagine many times other than at a track, where you'd leave
