Man almost murdered with remote control armed VW.

[talisman]

I'm not even bullshittin'. Dang.




A Czech fugitive living in South Africa nearly met his end in bizarrely James Bond-like fashion when he was fired upon by a Volkswagen CrossPolo that packed machine guns behind its rear license plate. Seriously, this is a thing that actually happened.

The Associated Press reports that on Wednesday in Johannesburg, Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir stepped out of his Mercedes-Benz at his office building only to be met with a hail of 5mm bullets coming from the nearby Volkswagen. The car was mounted with a dozen gun barrels operated by remote control.

Krejcir was miraculously unharmed, having ducked behind his bulletproof Mercedes. In what is perhaps a testament to its non-Q Branch shoddy build quality, or an intentional attempt to erase evidence, the Volkswagen caught fire and nearly burned to the ground.

Krejcir told news sources that he does not know who wanted to kill him, but it's nothing too out of the ordinary in his daily life.

"All my life is like James Bond stuff," Krejcir said with a chuckle in an interview with Eyewitness News, a South African media outlet. "That's how I live my life."

And who might want to kill him? At first, Krejcir reportedly said he didn't know. Then he said that if he had any theories, he wasn't saying.P
Okay then. According to the AP, he was sentenced last year in the Czech Republic to 11 years in jail for tax fraud, but currently lives as a fugitive in South Africa. He has been linked to a number of underworld figures there, the news story says.

I'll bet you'll never look at small Volkswagen hatchbacks the same again.

Oh he knows that he is a dead man and has tried to prepare for this day, obviously.

I'm sorry, wouldn't it have just been easier to walk up to him asking for money (like a bum) then just emptying a mag? Seems way too overthought.

Bulletproof cars are the norm for just about any rich person in any other country besides America. Especially shady rich people.

Apparently, the Nihilists were something to be afraid of.

BMW used to offer (maybe they still do?) flamethrowers from underneath the rockers in South Africa as an option.

My friend had an ultra rare E38 750il with the BMW PP (protection package), that car was neat!

Protection Package:
The “Protection” package was offered on 750iLs featuring thickened body panels and bullet resistant glass. This is not to be confused with the “Dual Pane” energy saving/UV filtered glass offered. Like the sport package, many 750iL sellers try to claim that it has the protection package or that it has bulletproof glass. Care must be taken in order not to get fooled. Again, it is recommended that a dealer look up the VIN if there is any doubt. (Note: Available on very few 740iLs, very rare)

· No Sunroof
· Rear windows DO NOT roll down
· No rear window switches on rear doors or drivers control.
· Increased weight over std.
· Extra thick Glass with black bands
· Notch in front widow glass edge
· “P” in the code following the type on the door sticker

When I was shopping for my 740iL I found a 750 that had that package and a bunch of performance parts added to it. They made the mistake of mentioning in the ad that with the weight and mechanicals it only got about 11 mpg. I kept looking. lol
