    Mondials are only rare because the owners are too embarrassed to be seen in them :p

    Having owned a very similar car with a twin cam, I'd suggest the thief has done something to destroy it,I can't think what as those clutches are "dropped off the line at 5,000rpm, they take a lot to destroy.

    Sigh!

    You obviously don’t know the joke.

    Tarzan: “Me Tarzan.”
    Jane: “Me Jane.”
    Tarzan: “What hole name.”
    Jane: “ C***.” [emoji16]
