I'm not suggesting its either of these but it might give you a better idea if they are what your looking for....

In your place I'd be sitting at that junction for a week solid from 5:45 to 6:45. Odds are he works around there somewhere and finishes at the same time every day (possibly).

If he passes you again, get the reg and call the Gardai. Don't confront him.

thats not gone well

give it a fortnight, in-case he works shift and only finishes/passes through at that time every other week.

OP, I fear you are going to have to do the investigating on this one yourself.

The Cops are too lazy.

You should check CCTV in the locality, find something and then present it to the local Gardai.

Sadly that is the case.

Even then don't get your hopes up. My experience in a similar case was not good, I supplied the CCTV images, identified the culprits, Humm maybe this, maybe that.

I raided the culprets and reclaimed my stuff.

Got a visit the next day re Burglary...

Give me a break...

ScrumPox - probably a stupid question but did you happen to see a dealership sticker?

i think a dealership sticker would be very pointless to be honest.

my dads car has "Crumlin XXXXXXX" on it but my dad bought it privately and the guy he bought it off also bought it privately.

i say its useless because its such an old car.

if it was a recent car like my own then you are on to something there but it might also be up to the dealer weather to release information like that for privacy reasons and so on.

i'd say have a gander around the area for cameras and the luas people would have a camera or 2 at their stops ... maybe ask them too.

would like to hear more on this and hope it works out for the OP.

OP , you said it was modified, any site stickers on it ?

Sorry, I thought I could be of help, I used to work in a dealership. The information like the year, colour, number of doors, when I worked there would be enough to identify the vehicle (the gardai would have checked this out) then again, its so long since I worked there, you may be right, computer systems are updated so frequently, maybe this type of search is no longer possible.

Surely if the Guards do a search of the vehicle database with the following variables no more than 10 cars will match?

Year: 00-01
County: offaly
Colour: White
Type: pickup (or whatever category they fall in to)

And if any of them are registered to an address in Dublin, all the better.

Yes, surely...

...unfortunately I think this post says it all:

scrumpox...keep an eye on the likes of donedeal adverts and other car /modified car sites in the for sale section...this little cnut could panick and try to offload it...if he does...BINGO

Tea_Bag

sorry I can't link to pics cause I'm on my phone but Google some images for a 'Nissan 1400' and Nissan Sunny 1400. they're usually heavily modified but keep getting facelifts so its hard to tell spot if it was one.

not sure they were used or made outside of South Africa or maybe Japan so it could explain the plates?

Absurdum

There's about 5000 OY -registered vehicles from 2000 and 2001, over to www.cartell.ie or www.motorcheck.ie and get to work!

shamwari

I'm open to correction on this but I'm pretty certain the Felicia pickup was never retailed here as such and was usually imported second hand. Assuming it was one of those, then it shouldn't be too difficult to track down.

SheroN1

What happens if you track the guy down? Surely he'll just deny it all?

Muckie

Hope you manage to track him down, any luck with cctv from local businesses
or would the traffic watch camera's have some footage of he's car going onto the
motorway thats if the keep the recordings.

TestTransmission

I think I recall a 00 OY reg white Felicia pickup for sale in Limerick about 2 months ago in a garage down the road from me,can't be too many of them about!

Keith186

Check out this profile pic from adverts.

Similarish car...



Probably a longshot but he was looking for a mechanic on here recently, most likely to do with pre existing condition as it was originally an older post.

Sorry to jayster if it wasn't you

si_guru

That is a VW type 147 Caddy - newest that could be is 1991 I think.

ScrumPox

He was driving on the lane to the right of mine when he turned into me so the front left of his pickup would have been damaged. I'm hoping it was plenty damaged.

Thanks for these... I don't think the skoda pickup matches the car that hit me. While the rear window in the cab comes close, the skoda looks taller in the cab than the one that hit me. Also, the tailgate was plain and smooth, all white on the one that hit me and I'm sure it had square plate area rather than the long one on the skoda.

It's a good question but no, unfortunately no distinct badges or stickers. I thought this was unusual in itself. The rear was all white and smooth: no badges, embossed metal ridges, nothing.

Big Nasty

Sounds like it was modified hence the de-badging and slammed hence you thinking it was very small.

Wertz

I read the OP's post again and thought of a modded Honda CRX I saw ages ago turned into a "pickup" of sorts. It would fit with jap import and no badges and the square plate.
Google only shows one on a youtube vid

Mute the sound before it plays!
Skip to 1min for rear view without the cover.

but sure crx's were never produced up to 00 reg were they, open to correction.... ?

Good point, 98 according to wiki...thought it was a good bit later. Recall seeing del sols in the US that looked brand new in 01-02.

All out of ideas here.
