Server restarts -> Vehicles gone/changed

[flint (DayZ) 8]

Hi guys.

I need your opinion/experience on this.

Currently I am playing on DE 1303 most of the times. Me and some other guys managed to find and repair a couple of vehicles such as ATVs, Hatchbacks, Dirtbikes, Urals and even a Chopper.

But whenever the server restarts (which is at least twice a day), all of those vehicles are gone and found later at their spawn points, complety damaged just as they were freshly spawned. Others are turned into other vehicles and at different locations. (Hatchback turned into a Pickup). Of course we save the vehicles when we go off and in between a couple of times.

So my question to you: Is this normal? Is there anything you can do about it other than changing the server?

And is there a server you can recomment where this doesn't happen (preferbly a DE server or at least European)?

Thanks in advance.

I have experienced this myself. I spent several hours today fixing up a hatchback, literally just before I could put the final wheel on the entire server gets killed and before I can make it back to the vehicle, the server restarts. Upon returning to the vehicle I found it had reset to its original status IE everything red/broken/missing. Absolutely gutted because I clicked save many times during the repair process and I doubt I'll have the time to fix it up again.
