No retort Pete? Might I assume that my knowing a little bit about guns makes you wary?

you should have your own forum opened up pete. You seem to take many serious threads of tracks with your 'look at me' approach.

If you look back through PSLewis's posts (and you go far enough!); he didnt used to be like this. I think that he realised that trolling was more fun and he hasnt stopped since.

Mr Lewis, i have read a fair few of the threads you post on! And apart from the sound of your own voice, as you are thinking out loud in your pre-birth like state. Or even looking up your own AR*E to see if your wisdom teeth, need capping. Is there anything going on in your head but confusion, TIMOTHY. I think that your pre stroke state, as you try to confuse and wind people up, is a VERY possible cry for HELP. I am sure your GP can point you to the nearest, toilet to put your TINY insulting mind into. And if you do have that clint eastwood (extension of your dick) type gun USE it on, Well i think you know who!!!!

Now I'm crapping my pants, I'm right in the middle of all this carjacking.

These cars are being taken from all the villages and town around me.

We're not talking cities here, we're talking small market towns.



BTW Mr Lewis, I've had guns all my life and NO-ONE ever calls it a magnum, never ever ever ever, wether is's a .357 or a .45, as someone stated earlier it's like saying I've got a LX or GLX or GT when you're talking about your car, it's meaningless.

BTW#2 I have my .223 ready to go if some tw@t tries to break in here

You carry on crapping yourself then - me I'm off to bed and to sleep soundly!

These posts should be ruined, they serve only to scare the weak and feeble

And my handgun has Magnum written on it, its known as a magnum and I will continue to call it a Magnum ..... if its all the same with you??

I've got a car jack. I used it to replace my wheel with the space-saver a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't need to do it at gunpoint.

Why dont we have an 'ignore' feature on this forum?

I'm sure many, many people would find it helpful.

Just been informed we do have a 'Ignore' feature. Its in 'User CP' - 'buddy/ignore lists'

No prizes for guessing who was first on the list

I'm in Rugby, come and protect me

Actually I can handle myself and have a few guns in the house, it's just the wife and kids I worry about and the effect any "incident" may have on them.

Fully appreciate your situation bud, i also have 2 children and a wife to care for and protect.

But the law has turned now allowing us to kill if neccasary, intruders in our homes.

Why? - because the police can no longer gaurantee (Spelling wrong?) that they can protect us due to slack laws.

Bring back bloody hanging - decent law abiding folk like myself and you (I hope) have nothing to be afraid of.

If there are armed criminal gangs after Scoobs in your area you're better off knowing so you can extra vigilant.

Or maybe its better to stick your head in the sand and pretend its not happening?

Well, I'm having some building work done soon so I've just ordered a new alarm system and cctv cameras to be installed at the same time and when the works done I'm getting a biiig dog.

Getting Blackjax in the Group Buy and a disclok

If they get the car after that at least they've had to work for it (first time in their sad little lives I expect)

Scoobs ?

No mention of scoobs being taken.
If we were to mention every bloody car taken we would be here all night.

You need to keep an ear out on local media then mate. There has been a few taken.

Also dont you think that the fact that this gang was using one high performance saloon (Scoob) to steal another (Evo). They failed in this particular attempt but its likely they will still be looking for another car. The gang sounds similar to one I have encountered and they will stop at nothing to get the car for whatever crime they intend to use it for.

Once you've sold the Scoob, and realise that an N reg Astra is a potential target, what you going to replace it with? A pushbike

I've been on many a range and the only ref's to a magnum are by Dirty Harry wannabes who couldn't hit a barn door ,unless they threw the damn gun at it,but after much searching found this link
and yep his gun could be a "Magnum"
