ATTEMPTED HI-JACKING IN COVENTRY
 

LOOK OUT FOR A DARK GREEN OR BLACK MAZDA XEDOS 6 WITH BLACKED OUT WINDOWS. TRIED PULLING ME OVA ON THE HOLLYHEAD ROAD AT ABOUT 8PM ON SUNDAY. IT CAME FLYING UP BEHIND ME FLASHING ITS LIGHTS AND INSTRUCTING ME TO PULL OVER. AS IT TRIED TO COME UP THE SIDE OF ME COMING INTO THE ROUNDABOUT I DROPPED IT AND MANAGED TO LOSE THEM THROUGH TRAFFIC. KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED IF IN THE AREA!

Scary stuff, glad you and the car are ok.

You are sure it wasn't the police though aren't you? :freak3:

Sounds like a close call. Glad you managed to get away

Did you report it and did the plods say the car was known to them?

Had a similar incident in cov about a year and a half ago but it got a bit further with firearms etc.


Will keep an eye out. Thanks for the heads up.

YEH DEFINITELY WASN'T THE POLICE! I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE POLICE AND THEY WERE GREATFUL OF THE INFORMATION I GAVE THEM. PEOPLE LIKE THIS NEED CATCHING THO!

DIDN'T FANCY HANGING AROUND TO SEE IF THEY HAD FIREARMS! I'D HEARD OF HI-JACKING IN COV BEFORE BUT YOU DONT EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN TO YOU UNTIL IT DOES. IT ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY DIDN'T EVEN MANAGE TO GET THE REGISTRATION OF THE CAR. **** MYSELF THO!

This kinda thing really winds me up!

one day they will pick on a car and the owner will be 8ft tall and have a sawn off shot gun!

well hopefully one day!!!

glad you are ok.

Cheers bud for the info.

Must admit makes me a bit nervous as the misses drives the car more than me !

Oh my god, thats terrible, especially as its just round the corner from where I live!!

It seems the shock affected your caps lock ;)

Well done though, getting away. Though I am guessing that i'd have assumed it was someone trying to race me, and would have enjoyed kicking their asses :D - Same result ;)

Time for Blackjax me thinks......

time for shotgun me thinks.

yeh ive got blackjax on and tracker horizon so if they had of got it they wouldnt have got far anyway

OMG!! cant belive these things are happening

I'm all for the flame throwing attachment you could get fitted in South Africa (I'm not joking).

I remember seeing them fitted to a BMW - if the driver was being hijacked, he could kick a little switch with his foot and flames would shoot out of the sides of the car. Injuries caused ranged from blindness to death - either way it would stop them doing it again.

I think I remember reading that they were thinking of adapting the system for other countries, where it would release sleeping gas... dunno if anything came of it...

can of deodorant and disposable lighter just as effective, much cheaper, you do have to open window a smidge though, just as scary

Just been told that later on sunday night another scooby was jacked near Foleshilll Road in Cov. Weren't anyone on here was it?

Does anyone know how much the blackjax system is, and does it work ok with 02 WRX. I dont know if its wired into the alarm system or what.

Please shed some light.

I payed close on £600 for my clifford alarm system which came with blackjax. Give specialist security a call on 01243 582322. The lads their know their stuff and they'll come out to work or home to fit it

These dont work any more; the f*ckers throw a couple of litres of petrol onto your car before they 'jack you.....

Would be interesting to know if it was the same gang & what the circumstances were?

where did you hear that, have you got any details. ?http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/eek2.gif
