Another (Odd) Convoy Story

**vhenok** · February 1st, 2007 02:07 PM

Which made me remember, just last year nung minsan namasahe ako, pagsampa ko sa bus may nakatayo na BJMP sa pinto, pagpasok may nakita akong inmate (with "detainee" printed on this yellow shirt) na nakaposas around dun sa bakal ng estribo. Ano yun? cost-cutting? Eh anytime pede gumawa ng gulo ung detainee na un or pwede sya i-setup para pakawalan ng mga kasama nya or even ng banatay. Haay...onli in da pilipins!

Pero hindi ba dapat sa official vehicle ng BJMP sila sumasakay?

^that, sir vhenok is so ludicrous its frightening, haay.

anyway, i think there's a bright side to the urvan-corolla-urvan convoy, we know they didn't use tax money to buy luxury SUVs like expeditions etc hehehe

I remember back then when I was single and brash, convoy was in a rush and the motorcycle escorts were doing their thing... I just pretended not to notice them till one of them kicked my side of the door, at first I was shocked and slowed down and let them pass, but they somehow got blocked by a slow moving heavy vehicle and I was able to pass them... the same motorcycle escort tried to prevent me from passing them but I just plowed ahead (I was seeing red after their rude behavior) traveling at around 80+ I saw the escort trying to pass my, this time I was ready and just jammed on the brakes! I heard, then felt the escort as he skidded and hit my rear stepboard... saw him roll to the side of the road in a cloud of dirt... next I made a premature turn and just sped off. I know it's wrong to leave the scene of an "accident" but if you were in my shoes, any sane person would have done the same thing. When I arrived at my destination, I surveyed the L-300 and was amazed that there was only a 5 inch strip of rubber (handle bar end?) to show for it. Was this road rage? More like payback to me.

500 lang kasi escort, baryang barya. Mga 4 lang niyan solve na.

Kapag walang budget, bulok na auto w/ siren, blinkers at tinted plate # cover ang gamit.

Recently may natauhan na convoy diyan sa Quezon Ave. Kung hindi ba naman abnormal pinahan daw ba Porsche? At least yun may pera talaga, eh sila 2 escort + lumang Exped w/ siren at blinkers. Hindi sila pinadaan, binalian pa kamo para hindi talaga makalusot. Nagmukha silang mga inahin na manok tuloy, malay ba nila sinong koneksyon nun.

Kung mura lang bayad sa escort mura din bayad sa goons para bigyan ng lekyson yang mga yan...

Hi Driv3er, I'm not proud of what I did, it's just that I was driving a delivery vehicle that been around the world and a few new scratches would'nt be noticed, never try that with your own personal ride, the damage, time, effort, expense won't be worth it. Nowadays I just try to stay in my lane and keep up with the rest of the herd even if I hear escort sirens... I just pray that the escorts, and prick being escorted will get ambushed. Hey! it's election season, let's enjoy the show!

Update:

M2 was escorting a red Revo SR XPP-463 this morning. The Revo had light tint and there appeared to be only the driver inside. Ayowz! May escort pa talaga siya. I wonder where the E150 went. Baka ginamit ng amo sa pangangampanya? Makes me wonder if anyone's in the E150 when it's being escorted. Tsk Tsk!
