    Looks like the couple were pretty lucky to get away and they caught the people responsible.

    Meeting in a carpark to buy a car isn'the smartest thing in the world of course but it's a handy place to meet if the buyer isn't from the area.

    Still, scary experience for them, I'm sure!

    They tried to jack the car? It must have had a flat tyre.

    Doesn't sound as straight forward as you make it. Blocked in to a car park by an SUV and another car. Their BMW was rammed, chased and repeatedly rammed again along a motorway.

    Seems unlikely they were after the car if they didn't care about doing so much damage. Most car thieves would run once the BMW got out of the car park. Sounds more like they were after the people, or something else and had no interest in the car.

    probably a no cash = no drive situation.

    Youd imagine you dont pick something like this as your first criminal enterprise. Out on bail in how many hours all the same...

    Wasn't there a similar incident reported on here by someone who was attacked and had their car damaged at the Red Cow during a car sale a few months back?
