theres a really nice chevett just round the corner from me, I keep meaning to stop and get some photos for you penski, looks in great condition and is painted bright orange

LOL I just misread Chevett as Chavett and pictured a chav girl who lives around the corner from Siliconslave with too much fake tan on!

Thanks! Made my day!

I used to work with a guy who was a ex car thief. I remember one of his stories about the easiest car he ever nicked, yep it was a Chevette. I think he opened the lock with a 1p coin or something equally silly.

I read somewhere a mkI fiesta is break-able into with any slim coin. You undo the number plate with it and you can use it as a slim jim because the door to window seal's so floppy you can fit it down there and pop the lock!

This is only what I've read, mind, so I don't know how much truth there is to it.

Am I the only one to think they must have been a bit dim to try and steal an old chevette with no petrol or battery when they could have tried to steal that right nice convertible behind in the pic?

Sorry to hear about it dude, I know how it feels. I hope it don't cost you too much to fix the damage.

If by 'right nice' you mean 'poverty-spec Merc that's been repaired 4 times in the last 12 months alone' then yeah, you have a point...

It's not whether you can get in...Hell, you can get in any car with the right bits and determination.

It's whether you can drive it away.

I guess your definition of 'bits' is a can of petrol and a battery then ?

I've now realised why your chevette looks funny, Its those black/silver number plates on a late car.
My old work mate used to have a chevette about that kind of age and the glass used to fall off the headlamps quite often, he eventually got a kit of special brackets that secured the glass around the edges.
