im more than prepared to go to court coz i totally disagree with payin them, just worried bout the outcome from court , like you say its my decision , im gonna text them now n offer the £80 as i think its fair as i gotta consider my time for recovery, my fuel, and the fact that ive had to pay rent at the land where the car was stored , ill let you know what she says

spoke to a soliciter this morning, basically he didnt really say wot to do, he kinda agreed with wot i said in wot had happened but said if i want it off my hands the easy way would be to give them the £500 or offer them less for example £100/150 to allow for some storage , or if im arrested to call for him (hes a legal aid duty soliciter) and tell the police my side of the story and then it,ll be put to the cps and it,ll go from there whether its good enough case to go to court, im still adamant im not givin them £500 and im pretty adamant i dont want to give them any money what so ever, i get the jist that if i hadnt told them from the beginin that i would be charging them a storage fee then they are ok to believe that i was storing it as a friend thing for free, i really dont know what to do, im tempted to text the mother and say im stickin to the £80 offer that i got for the car but im expecting she wont accept that so im guessing the next step will be ill be arrested ,

this is the car, just a basic 1.9 non turbo diesel with a set of alloys , and yes the front end is all bent , £500, i dont think so

it was defo a copper that rang me coz 1st time she rang on a withheld number, so i didnt answer it, she left a voicemail with the correct number for the police station with an extension number, then rang me again ten mins later, surely saying if i dont give them £500 they,ll take it further, isnt that a kinda blackmail or would it be classed as a kinda outa court settlement thingy i really wanna be arrested for this as daft as it sounds coz surely to god this cant go to court , althought the only thing thats worrying me is that if i do get charged with theft i could loose my taxi licence which is my livelyhood, im gonna try get to see a soliciter 2mrw on one of those free advice thingys that they offer the only diffrence between ur case and mine is they actually have made a complaint againsy me and i presume say ive stolen there car, tbh the police womans tone today almost kinda told me that she thought it was ridiculas and got the impression that they had to arrest me for theft but could tell in her voice she didnt sound confident in wot she was saying as if to say ok they,d arrest me but whether id be charged with theft would be a diff story, she did say her seargent had got her to ring me as it was the seargent that the complaint had been made to, im guessing he,s got her to ring me to try get me to try resolve it with the car owner as in it wasnt worth him bothering with such a petty thing, the police doris did seem really keen on me sorting it in civil matter way rather than me been arrested im just hoping i can get to see a soliciter 2mrw wish me luck

ok, heres the latest, i got a phone call from the police today saying she,d made a complaint bout me n stealing their car, the police doris sounded symphathetic towards me, she said theres two options, i can either sort out with her as a civil matter regarding her wanting £500 (via a mutual friend) and she did say she understands that i stored it 4 them n i might want to arrange some sort of discount for me storing it, or the other option was that they would arrest me for theft, n that the black n white of it is theft the copper said she did say they,d prefer it if i could sort it out with her as a civil matter and i got the impression she was kinda on my side how is it theft when a, i had the keys, and b, he told me to do wot i wanted with it, so how is that theft really, c , id given them plenty of chances to move it etc, the son is deffo lyin as hes saying he didnt say that to me as u know i never arranged with her regarding storage payment , but the police dont know that, do u think i should say that from the beginin that i did tell her there would be storage and as they didnt turn up to move the car i needed to recoupe some of my costs ive already offered them the £80 i got for it but she wont accept that ive tried contacting citizens advice but cant even get hold of them, n tried to get appointment with a free soliciter for an hours advice, (a lot offer free advice) im tempted to let them arrrest me , wot do u think?

nova,s are going the same way as escorts, rally history, (ok not as bigger history file but well rallied non the less) as were mk 2 escorts they were available on every street corner for £50 , we used mk2 escorts for autograss until there was non left, novas are now running out are very hard to find now and the people that have them stockpiled for racing are,nt letting them go, (my mate has 7 stored) ive sold 3 recently and they were snapped up and went for a very good price (sold within a day of listing on ebay , the phone must have rang 40 times for them ) basic models are been done up to look like gte,s and gsi,s (as were mk2 escorts to look like rs,s etc a lot of local rally boys are giving good money for them and breaking them, (as they did with the mk2 escy) i think if you can find them at the right price, keep hold of them coz i think in a few years time they,ll be sought after like the escorts are now, we never saw the escort been like it is now did we , mark my words lol

ive had loasda nova,s , gte,s and gsi, raced them aswell, gte,s n gsi are nice n pokey, the latter mk2 model rotted more than the mk1,s but they do all rot, prices are rising quickly, not many around for less than 500 quid for a basic one, watch for rot on the chassis at the rear were the rear springs sit, inner wings around the strut tops, rear boot corners front cross members , and passenger front n rear floors, oh and the chassis legs at the front, this is how one of mine ended up seem to crumple in a roll tho lol
