Oh No! Surely not! 
That is really terrible news. So very sorry to hear that Michael.
Nothing I can do or say from here I'm afraid. Just trying to think how I'd feel if it were mine (totally gutted I think).
Stick with us

This is real sad news... I deeply sympathise with you Michael, I hope they have some leads and catch the things that did it.. mind you they'll probably just be juveniles and get a slap on the wrists anyway.
Hope you get another one sorted soon.

It just gets worse
A neighbour called me - two youths scavenging the car and nicking bits
They ran off as I got round the corner

Hi Captin,
May seem like a stupid question, but is your car manual or auto? I don't know you but hart felt sympathy from PiercedEllie and myself  . We have a 2.0 auto spare. needs a gear box and stearing rack. FREE to good home.

The car was a 1996 2.0L 16V Ultima - Auto - 54000 on the clock - New Battery fitted 6 months ago - New steering rack and full assembly fitted two months ago .
The recovery people says its most likely totalled - write off
An insurance engineer / assessor will give his report on Tuesday 16th November
I may be able to get the wreck for GBP 200 if I ask - problem is - I have no where to keep it
It would be great for spares - mechanically it was perfect
Bodywork - panels - boot excellent - alloys etc etc etc
As a keepsake - I have kept the remote and very fond memories

So, current situation one burnt car with good bits to repair other car but no where to keep them or do this!!Any suggestions?
Captain, our offer was genuine if we can find a space to keep them, might even help you do it. I'm in sunny Barnet (Herts), where in this green land are you?

I only have that one car ( or did have ) the Scorpio aforementioned
It would be a great car for spares
Only the interior is a burnt out disaster
I am in Weston Super Mare but the burnt out Scorpio will be taken to Clevedon - about 10 miles from Weston - 15 miles from Bristol for assessment

Sorry Captain, I changed my original post obviously after you read it. I have a spare 2L auto that needs gearbox and steering rack, but is otherwise generally good. You can have it free if it helps, and we could find somewhere to do the work.
