Liam's Z Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Tuesday nite, heading home from town a white Vauxhall Zafira followed me for about half a mile with about 5 heads in it. Thinking they seemed dodgy I approached the traffic lights with caution deliberately making sure not to come to a complete standstill. I check the rear view mirror only to realise that these nutters had no intention of stopping, so I slipped Zelda back into 2nd gear, starting to move off at which point these little toe-rags rammed me in the bk... Literally I had 2 seconds to decide wtf to do? Anger kicked in but common sense prevailed (which is totally out of character ) I decided to pull away, then these guy's starting flashing, indicated and pulled over at which point I stopped... Instead of getting out I got on the blower via the hands free - honest and called the police. Watching them closely they started to pull towards me at which point I pulled away... Obviously the Zafira is no comparison to the zed so Basically I started playing cat an mouse, but these guy's were serious! I must of drove through at least 5 sets of traffic lights which were all on green when I approached, but I'm sure all theirs were all RED - if you get what I mean. So going bk, I'm on the phone to the local police getting directions to the police station by a very reassuring voice whilst screaming for the bloody helicopter lol, when these decided to do a U-turn an give up! Unbelievably Zelda didn't even have a scratch. That plastic bk end has some give, thankyou Nissan. Gave a statement but unfortunately not getting the registration it counted for jack sh1t. Anyway I'm still here, Zelda's still here an finally the internet working So all for me to say if roll on the weekend and COME ON RICKY "THE HITMAN HATTON" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmmackfc Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Glad to hear your both all right. Sounds like you did the right thing, pity you couldn't get a registration. You may want to post the story on the gassing station on pistonheads, you never know you may have had a witness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i imagine that if they bumped the back of a car at the lights, its a natural reaction to jump out of the car (and get leathered) unfortunately you wouldnt stand a chance if there was 5 of them 4 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam's Z Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Thinking about getting a tracker??? Instead I'm going for one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQJkec5OcKw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Think you're right it would be a natural reaction to hop out first and think later. Had my 07 a week and some dick tipped the rear. He was on his own and in traffic so I hopped out and shouted abuse at him for about 5 mins. Wonder if I would of got out if there'd been a car load of them. Hate to say it but I probably would of.

nixy Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 was there any purpose for them doing this - were they after your car, your money or just jealous thugs wanting to scare you? Anyway, glad your ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Not good bud, glad you are ok. I suppose they are guaraunteed an advantage by taking on a two seater. I know its not the polices fault but I know that if I go through a red light I will get caught yet these clowns get away with stuff like this. It isnt getting any better out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thinking about getting a tracker??? Might be a good idea mate. I have one and an anti car jacking device and something heavy under the seat I have to admit, I would of got out. I did recently when someone dinked me. Although at 1:30am and a car full of people I probably would of booted it too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Duude, holy shoite, glad you are ok though! Personally i think i would have got out if it wasnt 1.30am and there were no cars about. Scary stuff though, catch you on msn later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Sounds very much like an attempt at a car jacking to me. The Zafira would have probably been stolen anyway, even if you had obtained the number. I think you absolutely did the right thing by continuing to drive on. Must have been a pretty scary experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Woooooaaaaa horror story mate....Glad it had a good outcome though..
