Quote from todays paper;

"CRIME INC: SHOOT-OUT ON THE M74 Two escape drive-by gun attack then chase culprits

By Norman Silvester



TWO men who survived a drive-by shooting chased their masked attackers at 120mph along a motorway.

The gang opened fire with a shotgun early yesterday, leaving the victims' sports car riddled with bullets.

A Starsky and Hutch-style chase then followed through the East End of Glasgow and on to the M74.

The shooting was one of a spate of violent incidents in 24 hours.

The drive-by shooting targeted a sporty blue Subaru Impreza, travelling in Glasgow's Tollcross Road.

The 24-year-old driver and 32-year-old male passenger saw a red Audi A6 suddenly pull out in front of them.

The pair ducked for cover as a shotgun was fired at them.

Both souped-up cars were then involved in a chase on to the M74 motorway.

The Subaru, capable of up to 143mph, sped after the Audi, which can reach speeds of more than 150 mph, along largely deserted roads.

Drug The Audi eventually disappeared out of view on Easterhouse Road.

The car had only been bought the day before, fuelling fears the US-style 'hit' was pre-planned.

The two occupants in the Subaru both have minor drug convictions and come from the Rutherglen area.

The incident was only reported to police after the driver thought he was being tailed by officers and voluntarily pulled over and told them what had happened."

Hey Bri.
Were you out and about Today (Doune?).

wrxmania

Yep,

Was there with the missus, Spooks, Mrs Spooks, Son of Spooks, and EVOJKP - John and his dad, confusingly, John!!

Dougster came too.

Brian

sg72

Doh! I was trying to convince Lorna(Wife) it was yourselves.
May have passed you (Green Peugot 106. Just before Grangemouth? As if you'll remember? Didn't like to wave in case I confused you. IE. I Ain't got the Scoob no more!).
Steve.

BTW. Good day?

wrxmania

Yeah,

A tad wet so not many people around. However, a few interesting cars.

Green 106 - no, can't say I was overwhelmed by it on the road.

Was I going that slow you passed me?

Brian.

sg72

New you wouldn't .
We'd just been up at Crieff for the weekend.
And were on our way back , the scenic route.
When I spotted a silver scoob ahead after Doune @1ish.
UK 300 spoiler 2 cars in front.
Tried to follow but made a right **** of @aboutand went round again to catch up.
Anyways Lors was givin' it " Your driving My car too fast " and I'm sayin' Nowt

You wanna look in your mirrors more for "GANDALF" lookalikes drivin' inferior cars.
.

Keep that collar up!

Steve.

BTW. Did you here a couple of druggies got shot at....

wrxmania

Yeah,

Had the "BIG" coat on - it was either be drowned by rain or stay dry by fashion disaster!!

You must not have been driving fast enough ot I would have heard Lorna scream!!!

I will pay more attention for Gandalf - usually I am looking for white T5's which are quite reflective with a big blue light on the the top.

REG PLATE is M2 *** (removed for security reasons - CID/MI5 etc).

I hope you realise that every green 106 I see I will now be looking at it with staring eyes.

Hope the weekend was good (and the weather not too hideaous),

Brian.

sg72

Yeh Bri thats the fella !
Was convinced it was you.
Take it you only drive faaast on the twisties. (Without Wife?) .
Darn wished I'd tooted waved and hollered now!
Won't repeat rest of No.Plate BWM for fear of embarassment BTW.

Steve (The Grey.)

Well certainly on STELLA anyway!

Cheers Bri

Seeya @

BTW. weekend was FAB. (Who needs the weather when you've got the best scenery inthe world.

wrxmania

Try to keep it to a dull 70+ on the m-ways - too much bad luck around the corner if you know what I mean?

On the twisties - that's where to **** yourself - a straight line is less fun. Have more fun when it is only me at risk of death and serious injury

How's the car running?

Brian.

opelcorsa

classic highjack !!

wrxmania

Sorry Opelcorsa,

We should take our discussion elsewhere.

I used to stay 5 minutes drive from Tollcross so I know the area. You can bet there were some "scallys" involved, one way or another,

Brian.

sg72

Bri.
You're right. Keep it sweet on the M-Ways....

What is your new love - the missus?, the 106? or Shanks' Pony for a while?

Sorry to hear that Steve - I am sure many people will be.

Don't relinquish the forum just because you have decided to keep your licence?

Brian.

JohnnyR6

Scary stuff, i'm down tollcross a lot, think i'll put a sign on my car.. Don't shoot, not a drug dealer!

wrxmania

Johnny,

Need a bigger sign - "Don't Shoot - I will not give chase. I have never bought drugs from you, sold drugs for you, traded drugs with you, stolen your benefits book or the keys to your brand new M3 convertible or broken into your council house...." blah blah - you get the idea.

Brian.

sg72

Bri

Just to say "If you see it?.Steer Clear and be afraid...... I mean be more afraider(I think.) than when ever.

BTW. Did you win the Hill climb?

Steve.

wrxmania

Yeah - I won the hill climb, beat em all up the hill, well - I didn't fall in the mud, did not stand in any Sheep ****, climbed the gates fine and survived the rain - does that count.
