being followed

[flyingbanana]

i allways go a back route home to miss all the traffic and traffic lights and on my way home tonight i noticed a car following me every road i went down...i even went around a block to see if they followed me...and they did.....so when i hit a main road again i put my foot down and took corners sideways....well it didnt take long to lose him, he prob wondered where i went ...only down a side road parked up with my lights off .....no it wernt the police etc....crappy nissan, but its good to be on guard of these things

[Fiesta Steve]

Be careful out there

[Danmex]

Probably the KGB or Carlos the Jackel

[Guest v6dale]

i hate people following me home, but then again, i just floor it and lose em

[atomic punk]

Had this happen to me before.... not pleasant. Pulled into a police station they soon fooked off - luckily they were too thick to realise it was unmanned

[RFChris]

That was my mate, he told me about it.

 

The nissa was a mates car. He's just inherited £10,000 and was planning to spend it all on a yellow MKI Escort he keeps going on about......

I worry about that all the time, the cars garaged but they ain't that hard to get into are they?

 

There's always someone that wants something for nothing!

you joker

[Tigran]

Freaky. good to hear you were aware of them.

 

This happened to me twice in one week going through brookmans park in my pretty standard focus, followed twice round the block, on pointless detours and going once round a village green by a black IS200.

 

Apparently he didn't really know the local lanes though.

 

As said be safe and aware out there peeps. Especially you lot with pricey/desirable mk1's. Go straight to the local nick if you can't shake em and whatever you do don't go home.

[BaileyMex]

U gotta be careful m8 our cars are getting nicked more and more these days

[Anglia68]

I was follwed home in my Mk1 Escort estate once.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....by the police who then breatherlised me on my drive in front of my neighbours.

I was sober but apparently they saw me "rear wheel skid" around an island so decided to pull me.

[jay]

scary stuff................

[morcheen]

i always keep an eye on who's behind me,even in my van

[johnny_h]

[fezza]

Yea you got to be carefull but i followed someone the other day it was a mint orange mk1 mexico so i followed him home had a little chat and told him about the website of course,he said he dont use the net so doubt we will see him but you never know

sometimes people just wanna chat about your car im sure they're not all lunatic theiving gits........................maybe

[Mr Sam]

somoene in a mondy followed me 20 odd miles the other week even down all the little narrow roads i use as shortcuts soon lost him round a few bends but i just dont have the speed on a straight thankfully he turned off just before i reached my destination

[Burns]

yeah, things like that are creepy, i had a guy follow me home a while back, all the way from leicester to nottingham, lost him on some side streets tho

 

got home and my neighbour was giving me odd looks, turns out he was coming home from the same area and had seen me shoot off in a random direction for no apparent reason

[Jelly]

If it happens again, just pull over outside some houses.

 

 

They'll either:

 

1. take note of where the car is kept and prolly do a lap of the block.

 

2. or pull up behind you, get out and approach.

 

 

As soon as they're out of sight, or out of the car, floor it!

[Chris!]

 

 

As soon as they're out of sight, or out of the car, floor it!

And dont stall it

I had someone follow me home from work once thought i'd lost him then he appeared behind just as i pulled up on my drive he drove up on my drive as well, so i grabbed the old extendable wheel brace an thought here we go, turns out his son had just bought an anglia and he wanted the web site address he'd seen plastered across my back window. thing that made me laugh is he knew i was trying to get away from him but he knew where i lived anyway

[Rick]

woah/ thats one thing i never considered about my osf. best keep a baseball bat under the dash

[DeuceCoupe]

i stuck my fingers up at some fecking twat on the road as he was driving like a moron God did he go nuts got in front wouldnt let me over take swerving in front I did get a bit scared.

 

Also called a guy a c*nt well he was driving like one he stopped and gave me grief . I need to learn to keep my mouth shut or carry something in the car. Can't help it they wind me up, need my car to go faster thats for sure

[105Speed]

I've been at both ends of this one.

 

I've had pikeys chasing me across Northants trying to buy my Anglia van.... as has another good mate of mine, he had an incident on the A14 where some Pikeys chased him for miles trying to buy his van, they eventually got up along side and at 70mph started the bidding.... it finished at 6 grand.... but they didnt buy it Reserve Not Met

 

In the end I had a run of stickers done that say 'NOT FOR SALE' to put in our windows and touch wood that seems to have put most people off asking if its for sale.

 

Got a couple left if anyone wants one £2 inc postage

 

 

 

And then the other time was went out for some food one night and there were some young chimps in a Fiesta blocking our drive, so when I hooted them out the way they drove into Bedford and for the first 10 minutes or so they were larking about and then they started chucking stuff out the car and one of the drinks cartons hit my car so I started following them.

 

After about 10 minutes of me following them round Bedford it suddenly dawned on them that their Fiesta was never going to out run my Escort Cosworth and looked like it was going to be a game of who was going to run out of petrol first.....

 

But I could hear the Kebabs calling so I gave up in the end.. but the point was made..
