Red 7 (not sure what flavour as passed at some speed) sat on the hard shoulder of the M40 heading south just before J15 (Warwick) with an black, scooby undercover rozzermobile behind it giving plenty of blue flashing...

Undercover Subarus - Can they stoop any lower?????

At about 08:45 this morning...

i remember seeing a marked up ford escort cosworth police car a few years back when they still made them, in Liverpool i think it was... either there or in essex. can't properly remember, but it had the full bodykit on and had just pulled someone over

You get used to them up here.

North Yorks police had 5 Scubbies 2 marked 3 unmarked a couple of years ago.

Been close with the unmarked ones a couple of times. But prefer them to Cash generating speed cameras.

remember being out with the boss once years ago. Going along a smidgen faster than he should have been doing (ok a lot faster). Slowed down for some reason, went round a bend and there where 3 police cars parked up. Memory suggests 2 of them where cosworths.

He almost poo'd his pants.

We have a black octavia along the M27 / A3. They used to have a bright red scooby but I reckon thats gone now. There is also a black motorbike. Not sure which type.

North Yorkshire have just ordered 10 black Skoda VRS's

FYI

We have skoda VRS's around West Worcestershire....

Was following one the other day thinking how rapide this old chap was going in his VRS and then realised there was a camera in the boot pointing at me so I backed off a little bit

Why cant they paint these undercover cars flouresant yellow so we can all see them FFS...would make life so much easier!

In in Malvern....The Black VRS has been around here for a while...I cant for the life of me remeber what the other undercover car is...think it might be a mondeo..

The fuzz bikes out towards leominster always catch me out

looks like some form of 'hearts and minds' campaign to identify with the 'cruisers' rather than actual practical cars... ?

A23 has a silver evo VIII the sly buggers


Rek - 11/7/07 at 01:41 PM

Personally I always wanted Mad Max's police car, because his one said Interceptor on it and the others only had Pursuit…

Aye, sod trying to get out of an Exige in a hurry to run after a crim


MikeR - 11/7/07 at 10:56 PM

exige is fake, along with the esprit they did before hand. In fact the exige recieve a lot of complaints - sending out the wrong image etc.
