You must be the guy I read about in "The Newcastle Herald". Must have been a terrible experience for you. The guy who did the hijacking sounds like a real looney. Anyrate if I hear or see anything I'll PM you as I'm on the road all the time as a bus driver!!!:D Welcome to the Forum, I wish it was under better circumstances for you!!!!

Here's the story in the paper.....

Mate ....

what a lowlife scum, thought this only happened in USA

please let us know what transpires, will keep both eyes opened.

the rego would help , tho I guess it'll have fake plates if he's still got it.

Wont help now, but for others it might. I have a Xexun TK103 hidden in mine, $100 from ebay, GPS tracking and I can send a SMS to the car to immobilise it

Yikes! Certainly an experience you could have done without, but good to hear you are ok.

On a lighter note, clearly that fellow has a screw loose, otherwise why would he have commandeered a defender to "speed away from police" ;)

Perhaps he saw how good the Defenders were in Fast and Furious 6?

Let's hope this Defender fares better than the one in the FF6 promo reel :eek:

The one that was taken was a limited edition - such as shame.

Also, from the article.


A SUSPECT who threatened a motorist with a knife and ordered him to speed away from police during a dramatic pursuit and carjacking has been caught on camera.


You jump into a defender and order someone to speed off.

Bad life choices number 187. I can imagine the police office jogging along side, "pull over".

Only thing that could be worse is if it was a 4bd1.
