Progress Report:
I rang a mate to see how he went about getting the dumped BMW he picked up and mentioned the car i was trying to get to him.. he told me he knew who has previously owned the car.. i went to the pub of the bloke who owned it.. and the manager told me that the land lord had sold it on.. getting a name tomorrow..
bingo!
