Sounds like a dodgy thing to me.

A bit like that Veyron that an American purchased and then 'apparently tried to sell' or 'get taken'', but no one was interested. Instead he drove it into the sea and claimed the insurance on the car.

Unfortunately for him someone was videoing the car and 'no low flying seagull' was spotted as he claimed was the reason for his swerving.

I live around Brisbane Water and yes i have seen this vehicle before, certainly is a car with "history" so to speak.

A popular past time around here is "launching" a car in the middle of the night at one of the many boat ramps.

So which ramp did you launch it off Max? ;

Looks a bit suss registering for a forum and then posting on this thread. Most people start out with an introduction and then a question about a kit or engine choice.

Well i have already posted my first question before this, if you look you will see it, I live on Brisbane Water between West Gosford and Woy Woy, im just telling you how it is, cars are stolen and dumped off the many boat ramps by kids mostly, so if its not in Brisbane Water somewhere you can most likely rule that theory out.

I own two BMW's and two classic/vintage cars already, i hardly need to be stealing peoples Cobras in the middle of the night, anyway i simply don't have the garage space!

I have my own theory on what went on here like a few people do know doubt.

I agree Aussie Mike.

Its like these guys that rob banks and then send pics of themselves doing it to their mates on facebook.

I'm more than sure our insurance and policial friends are watching with interest!
