Just seen this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-24...-ride.html

I guess that this will be the beginning of a long "we versus them" thread..

After looking at the Youtube-film, as I see it, it all begins with a motorcycledriver
passing very close to the car, and almost checking him out, and after that he gets
in front of the car, at approx 2-3 meters ahead, and breaks.. As if proving a point or something.

I guess that under "normal" circumstances, the drivers would have exchanged Insurance details,
but as about 200+ bikers surround the car, and try to get into the car, I can understand that the
RRS-driver gets spooked, and takes off.

I Think that all have failed here, and the "pack mentality" doesn´t make it any better.

The exaggerated revving close to the car in the "pursuit" certainly does not calm the RRS-driver.
I guess that he ran for his and his familys Life..

Luckily no one was killed.

Uffe As a rule, I always resist temptations,
unless they are irresistible.
My Ride: 2006 RRS HSE TVD6 Java Black/Cherry Woods with HST factoryfitted pack.

This is not easy viewing.

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I would have done the same thing if I was being chased by that lot, bet he was himself.

....and yet another topic started by the RRS light producer......that's not about their lights  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I think I'm more on the side of the sport driver, the motorcycles seemed out of line from the start, I can see why he would worry. Wrong choice to go to streets, stay on and call 911 surely the only option? Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

Obviously we weren't there so can only speculate what happened. It did look as is the RRS driver panicked but also that he ran over a biker or at least a bike. 911 would have been the sensible thing to do as it could have got very nasty indeed. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Definitely handled it the wrong way. Driving away from the scene over bikes/people wasn't a smart move. I wonder what happened after the video cut off

Did laugh at the bloke at the end though who tried to smash the rear window with his fists  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I like bikes as much as the next guy, but if people were threatening/intimidating me and my family, I'd have no problem driving over their bikes to get away. Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

Previous: Mercedes CLS, BMW 330cd M sport, Nissan 200sx, Impreza STi, EP3 Civic Type R

Pretty nippy off the mark, so assume it was not a 2.7

I think I would have done the same, I am not brave enough to take on that many. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Reading the report the police sympathise with the driver and the event has been banned next year - I would have rang the police and tried to get away from mob mentality too  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

With my wife and kid in the car I would have done the same, maybe not a speed but pushed my way out and kept going till a saw police or they came to my rescue

No way could you talk you way out of that, there would be one of the bikers who would hit first and ask questions later

Looking at the video I agree with comments the first bike braked deliberately in front of him - a dashcam would be priceless in this scenario

I also think the driver slowed down once he was clear of the pack - I would of had my foot to the floor until I saw a police car  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
