Mike called me this morning and told me the news, i felt like id been punched in the gut... utter utter scum. i spent 3 months solid on mikes bay with the roof swap and rebuild and the best part of finishing it was i knew that it was going to be used. that beastie was up n down the motorway to wales, doing wedding runs, camping all times of the year, just being used as it should be.
i cant imagine how bad mike feels, like with most of us the bus was part of the family.
Mike and his family are some of the nicest people you could meet, to think that someone could steal his bus, basically a big chunk of your life just makes me sick.
I truly hope its found, i also hope we find the pondlife that did this... id make sure they didnt do it again.
keep your eyes open folks, not only for the whole bus but (and i hate saying this) anyone who suddenly has rust free cab doors, sliding door or tailgate in chaiti red and pastel white. small 5 BRMs, devon interior, deluxe trim, early bumpers. newish mexican 1600, bluebird SQP and a recent NOS carb..... maybe they can be caught this way
Again mike, i cannot believe its happened to a top bloke like yourself
gutted
