Driving from Lisas house to my house just now along a46 wigan rd if anyone knows it, just before shell garage a land rover discovery i think pulls out behind me and follows really close.
1/4 mile on from petrol station is some traffic lights, on red so i start to slow down in outside lane of 3 lanes to turn right. As im about to stop the discovery pulls in front of me and stops behind the lights diagonally across my lane and 2 guys get out, one from passenger side, one from drivers rear side.
The 2 guys turn towards my car then im not really sure what happened but i just thought this feels really bad and booted it away, i remember the lights were still on red but i just kept my foot down. I didnt look back and my heart was pounding, still is a bit now. I got home and reported it to local police. If anyone is round here just stay aware, it was a silver discovery i think, fairly oldish, obviously i dont know for sure what was going to happen but my gut feeling was get away fast.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I would imagine that was an attempt at carjacking and thank fuck you got away as you never know what extent they would have gone to, to take that car, Hope the cops find them mate and glad your ok, If not a little shaken, But who wouldn't be.
