There is a good article on this in the new (December) issue of HOT4s... Take a look...
Next issue will feature "Preventing car jacking and what you can do to protect yourself"...
Also, this is another issue that comes out with the free CD... Hopefully they will be coming out with every issue!!!

As funny as it sounds, carrying heat has already become a reality for some car enthusiasts i know.
It almost happened to me a while back, luckily i managed to get away.

Guns are just taking things too far.
Lock ur doors when u drive (set ur alarm to lock after u start the car) and carry a spanner or something near the drivers seat, within reach. If the jacker has a gun, then ur already stuffed, regardless if u have a gun yourself or not. If he hasnt, he cant open the door. If he reaches in thru the window, use the spanner then drive off.
cheers

The story that was featured in HOT4s had a dude in a Turbo Pulsar... He stopped at lights and was approached by dudes... He sped off and they flew off right behind him... He kept flying along the M4 until he reached the toll gates... He stopped hoping that the cameras would do good... He was ordered out of the car and they took his car and sped off... The cameras only work when someone goes over the sensors without paying so therefore the cameras didn't capture the incident and his car hasn't been found to this date...
This is the reason why I have full comp insurance...
I think that the best situation you could hope for is for the jackers to throw you out of your car and drive off... I'd hate to get shot or kidnapped in the car with them...

Dude it felt like i was in a movie almost, other than the real taste of fear in my mouth from the thought of possibly losing my baby. I also all seemed to happen in slow motion.
The girlfriend was shaken up for the next 2 weeks. She'd jump for the roof at the smallest sound. She was freaking out and in tears for the next 2-3 hours.

"Come hither, young jacker!"
(Translation reads: "Are you ready for what I have in store for you...? )
You might think "What's that?"
Is it worth the risk?
(Please, find out...on me  )

I only managed to get the 1st 3 letters of 1 of their plates. My main focus was get the F@#K out of there. Even my girlfriend was too useless to get any plates

That would be ILLEGAL! I think a Smith & Wesson .357 magnum revolver would be better

Its not illegal if you have a class 3 licence But any gun is illegal that isn't in a safe!
The gun rules suck at this current moment! Get this right, you are allowed to keep a gun in a gun safe at home or at the local gun club! But your not allowed to have a gun or your person or in your car at all! So how the hell do you get your gun to the gun club legally???

Simple! carry the whole safe into the car then drive it to the gun club where u can remove it
Yes I know they are stupid but thats the law. BTW what sort of reason do you need to have a class three licence? I want to join a pistol club but its a bit hard at the moment, so I tag along with my dad every now and then and shoot metal silhouettes with his revolver.

hmmmm. well if i was held hostage with a gun at my face by some fool who decided he wanted me to take him somewhere, i'd do it at MEGA speed.
i mean face it you're probably going to die anyways.
look for the nicest fattest big ass tree you can find, go as quick as possible, make sure no one else is around you can harm and at the last minute stick the car into it. if you're lucky the interia/g's might f..k the idiot up and hopefully it will be crushed to death on impact (and you can get away with your life)
i'd only go for this action as a last resort. and on the proviso i would not harm anyone else.

never said anything about a park, it started at the lights of Heathcoate Rd.
They were probably early 20's and at least 2 were Asian.

I now carry a very sharp wreaking bar  if anyone trys to stick there hand in my window to unlock the door they will have a very nice hole in there arm or head. I cant belive some people in this world.
I was at eastern creek wnen my car was broken into(we were only in there for about 30-45mins)the people we suspected of doing it came back to us and thretend to kill my mate(we seen them runing as we apprcohed our cars)and we said nothing to them so i dont know why they came back. They stole his EMS from his datto so we couldnt leave.we stoped the police and told them what happened and they said there was nothing they could do, after we told them it was a gang of young lebs. so now when i go to Sydney i always have my doors locked and carry my wreaking bar

A good self defense course can be of assistance in situations like these, And i don't mean your local karate for the masses I mean a good street orientated self defense course, that and a good bat!!
But if it means your life over your car, let them have it or get out of there!!!

If it had of come down to it my last resort rather than giving them the car would have been start ramming into them. If they wanted my car that bad they can have it (All Smashed Up)
