well. you got to admire him, im sure it has been an emotional time and obviously we all want to see these wan@ers put where they should be..
But a nova/cavalier was chasing you im surprised it lasted as long as it did, most of em are in the local scrappy now arent they?

weird
youve gotta feel for the guy
but a good 205 would fetch like a grand tops!!
and theyre slow in comparison to other cars
i carry a baton in my car and whilst i wouldnt advocate anyone else doing the same i wouldnt even hesitate to use it if someone challenged me
but then again i box at heavyweight and im built like a wall

Hey do you have a 308 and a hawaii shirt and a hairy chest too?

Couldn't resist it...

They must have mistaken him for someone.. does seem as bit weird though him saying the 205 got up a foot high kerb, with no apparent damage..

perhaps they mistook him for someone else... there could be many reasons I guess but at the price of a pug I cannot see it being for the car like you say.

I really dunno if I might hand over the keys or run if I was confronted.. my car is nothing special but that doesn't seem to stop them.

With a batton or similar weapon you might end up in court/prison but at least there is more chance of survival.. have to say I'd rather do a couple of years inside for hitting someone a couple of times than be dead and leave my kid without a dad and my wife a widow etc..

I don't believe for a minute he walked into the cop shop and said he was doing 110mph in a 30.

Brun,

I thought that too, I bet his story was a little different for the Police..

Wonder if you could get off a speeding ticket if you said you were chased etc. ?

if you beleive your life to be in danger I think they will let you off....

better then a baton is the steering lock called a billy club(I think thats the name), looks just like a baseball club, anyway under the self defence act you are allowed to use reasonable force to defend yourself i.e. equal to the threat being issued.
Carrying a weapon would show intent to use it in defence irrespectie of the threat, however the law views using objects of opportunity very differently i.e. brick, dustbin lid umbrella etc...

so officer as the guy pulled a knife on me..I just happened to use my steering lock to defend my self....never noticed it was shaped like a baseball bat until now!! lol

so that was you at bandcamp yoza.....how do you stay so felxiable???

sounds a bit dodgy to me, was it a nova or a cavalier, any kind of enthusiast would know that, still, bet he **** himself.
Laws need to be changed, you should be able to shoot, or beat f@ck out of someone that does something like that, e.g farmer sent down for shooting ****** robbing his house. well done to the man I say....

(Just My opinion)

any chance he had been watching the fast and the furipants at his mates house before this "happened"

yeah reading it back you wonder about its authenticity

With referance to being let off speeding-A mate was stopping at my house and his GF rang to say that 3 men had followed her back from town after a night out and wouldn't let them out of the phone box they were in.We gto down to the phonebox as quick as we could but when we got there the ******* were leaving and I ercognised one of them as a local thug.Then a cop car pulls up and gets my mate in the back of the car for speeding and showed him the video of him doing 86mph in a 30.He told them why and I named the thug whom they knew of and they accepted the story,letting him off and went looking for the scumbags.It shows that common sense does sometimes prevail.He was driving a Pug Gti too.

Guys..


I am the guy from the 205 forum that this post refers to.

Firstly, I noticed a few weeks back that this post has found its way onto other forums, I have been touched by people attitude towards this and the support they have given me. For the most part I have not gotten involved with posting replies on other forums except to say thanks but I felt I had to say something here.

I have been posting on the 205 GTI forum for years and consider a lot of the people on there friends, this post (although I may have been a bit OTT with my language and descriptions) is 100% accurate, I have to exaggerated anything and yes I did tell the cops I was doing 110 in a 30. As I have discussed on the 205 forum I do not know why I was chased even though car jacking seems most likely, and even if it was I know 205’s are not worth much but does that matter when you intent is to joy ride?

I reason I am posting is not to ague against people who think I am talking bollocks I just want to aware that people like this are out there and hopefully people can try and avoid what happened to me. It is hard to outrun people who are prepared to ram you, I was driving a 205 turbo that is probably about as fast as a standard Scooby and I still got hit in the back.

maybe your mums' 1.4 l model aint that fast, but 205's are the same as any older car (cossies, even old scoobys', etc ) if you spend the cash on them then they can go quite quick - the current saloon car lap record at castle combe is held by a 205 (this is a series where M3's, scoobies and 350 bhp turbo's things compete)
