Hope you gave em a large portion!
Trouble is, they are now quite within their rights to claim large amounts of compensation from you-arseholes! >:(
-
Holy sh!t :o :o
Glad you managed to hold your ground. I'll be a little more wary now.

I supposeyou could always look for the silver lining in that you own a motor that despite being so old, is still desirable enough to be targeted by thieves!
Hope you're better now mate, and the car didnt take to much of a beating either
-
:o damn!
Should have jakked them after >:(
What you need is a Clifford Cat1. It has anti car jacking features
-

Do what they do in south affrica and fit flame-throwers on the side, when they get to ya door they get toasted :-[
( or do what the yanks do and have a gun in ya glove box, not legal, but you should have a right to protect your property >:()
-
I'm so glad I'm having a Concept 600 fitted tomorrow. If anyone opens your door when the engine is running they have 60 seconds to enter a code on a toggle switch on the dash else the car cuts out with the alarm howling. they have no choice but abandon it.
-
Thats a disturbing story, but glad to hear you are ok mate.
-
shate man gladur ok!!!!, must have been scarey, i remember when i got done over in me car once when i was 17 by some skinheads, got a smashed face, 5 broken ribs, and a knife held to me throat, now that was scarey and they werent even after me car!! id called em w@nkers down the road earlier!!!, never mind, me and me mates got em later!! revenge is sweet!!, (oh yeah word of advise, if an attacker opens your door, please release your seatbelt asap, as i found out when you try to dodge in coming punches etc your seatbelt locks and your stuck there like a right fruit!) ;D
-
its funny how the seatbelt locks when you dont want it to :-\
-
I always tend to drive everywhere with doors looked, but when i get my cab, with roof off ur a bit more vulnerable >:(
-

-

-

Keep a close eye on how the alarm installer handes your car/dash.
The guy ended up breaking alot of small clips and blowing bulbs. ohh and scratched the hell out of my sisters car >:(
concept 600 for ?250 installed (i think) if you want the number?
This should be a lesson to all. Lock your doors when driving!
-
^ cliffords do that automatically... in all brands but VW...
-
I always drive with my car doors locked, especially around Manchester ;D
-
that kinda thing'd never happen down here :/
-
good to here they didn't get the car and you weren't badly hurt!, hope your bruises clear up soon :o
-
Hope this bad experience fades away quickly.
Wish you speedy recovery.
No one can't predict when and where such thugs will come at you. I hope that we've all learn some important lesson from this, in securing ourselves and our beloved cars at all times.
-
I've been quite lucky when it comes to being car-jacked.
I think that it has something to do with my cars anti-jacking protection........... ME! ;D

My old fiesta had a Toad C2 fitted which automatically locked the doors as soon as the ignition was turned on. Definately a feature to have these days.

f**kin scary! :o
-
hope your ok mate sounds messed up! :o
next time you see them run both of them two bast**ds over and hope at least one of them hits your grille and has the VW logo stuck on there head
I suppose we should be better than scum like that!!!! But it makes you think people will hit and hurt you to get their hands on your worldly possessons for what? Be insured whats more important your life or your beloved vw...
what goes around comes around
-
