This could be anywhere now - nearly 24 hours since the theft. Going to be a hard time hiding it!

Edit - from Media: Mr Jones and the police have put out an appeal for anyone with information relating to the missing cars and equipment to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 000 333.

Some Expensive Daewoo drivers will do ANYTHING to win a race!

Seriously though, to steal a setup like this takes balls - and I hope those balls are crushed with a sledgehammer when they catch the bastards.
