Hi all,
Many thanks for the condolences on my zed as I feel she as just died and I've lost part of my family and soul.
I am so damn lucky that I wasn't in the zed in the first place.
The incident happened at just after 5am this morning when I noticed I have very low oil pressure, both the stock
guage and my aftermarket guage both dropped down to practically zero so I quickly pulled over.
It was then I noticed that she wouldn't start although she seems to crank over ok.
I'm covered by the RAC so I called them straight away and got out my zed and started to walk down the grass
verge so that I could identify a road side marker so that the rac could locate me.
After 15 minutes of walking we figured out where I was on the m74 and I turned around and began my walk back.
When I approached the location on the hard shoulder I noticed a HGV parked up with his hazards on and a man
came over who barely spoke English and asked if I was ok. Believing this was a friendly van driver stopping to ensure
I was ok I never thought anything of it and said i'm fine as i'm covered by the RAC.
At this point he returned to his van and headed off.
It was then I noticed that another smaller van also just parked up near my zed and another man approached me.
He then stated that he just witnessed the first guy trash my zed and then drive off and after that we followed in a chase.
It took a few miles to catch up but we identified him and managed to pull his ass over then we called the police.
I'm feeling gutted over whats happened as I've worked on this build for over two years but i'm guessing the emotions
havn't hit base yet as i'm not as upset as I should be.
The plan now is to get the insurance see if I can buy back whats left and buy a new shell and move on.
Glad I had the sense to get out my zed as I did rather than just use my phones gps which I never even thought about.
