Gerry Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Went to collect a set of stock wheels from Maidstone today which turned out to be an eventful trip (not for me though). Was crusing down the M3 at Basingstoke when three marked police cars went speeding the other way - thought nothing of it at the time. five minutes later I spot a blue light way behind me (wasn't speding as was in a big Honda P/C. Kept an eye on them as they approached and they eventually caught up with me and it was obvious there was way more than one set of lights, cars pulled out of the fast lane behind me until a blue saloon with some kids was behind me where it took me a few secs to realise that they may be being chased, pulled over and sure enough they were gunning it... One, two three...six police cars followed all with lights great fun ! They all made off into the distance folewed by three more police cars and a helicopter. They took the M25 South and kept just ahead, but out of sight until all the traffic slowed up a few miles south on the M25. Eventually reached them where they had boxed the car into the hard shoulder with four police cars rammed around it, three of them at least damaged. Driver was sat in the road cuffed - must have gone down fighting ! Carried on the pick up the wheels (thanx Simon, all great) and came accross a very old (Historic) car (think Volvo) on fire coming back up the M25. Policd and two fire & rescue on the scene. More drama in two hours on the M25 than in the whole of Wiltshire last year I'm going to move to London Made the 5 hour trip go quicker...

Stuliet Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 nothing on the news yet The BBC have a few details now. I was stuck in this jam on the M25 too, on the way to AFR to pick up my car. Due to the delays, I was too late and my car is still there waiting for me to try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
