Another Reason Not To Speed

[Demonic Angel]

Imagine that chasing you round the M25.... you wouldnt stand a chance!

[Jinxed]

would it run out of petrol 3 miles down the road?

[Bodgit]

easy to evade, just turn off down a road with speed bumps or width restrictions

nice to see our tax pennies going to good use. I think back in the 90's Devon & Conrwall police had a Jag XJ220. Boy Racers

It's only for show -

As above - like Norfolk's old Lotus Espirit. Purley a demo car.

Besides, if they did get it out, it'd run out of fuel quicker than I can down a chocolate cake.

Either that, or head for a road littered with speed bumps.

[DaveSR]

Only a demo ?????

I was about to quit my job and join up !

[Gnome]

Yes, but they still have the Subaru Impreza's around this way, and a couple of forces now have very quick police bikes - Thames Valley has a H*nda SP1, and there a couple of forces with unmarked R1's, Fireblades, etc...

Or you can join Thames Valley dave, and drive the new Corsa's they have. :P

Don't some police forces turn up at cruises in fancy cars to generate a feeling of "look, we're all on the same side really. We all like cars, we just don't want anyone hurt or killed"?

Have heard some rumours of that.

Also heard in Derbyshire or somewhere as well, that the local plod have black unmarked H*nda Civic Type R's, that have apparently been seen "goading" people into racing them from the lights, and then pulling them over down the road... :!Removed!:

[Al J]

Well that's just wrong.

[thunderT]

Well that's just wrong.

there was a time when Thames Valley used a lime green MGB V8 which they used to goad people into upping their speed then putting a little pop up sign in the rear window.I used to work in the development labs for Jaguar and we used to have to blueprint all the engines for them even on the cooking stuff, Now down here we got two Scubi Foresters both unmarked with 2.5 WRX breathed on machines cruising round the A303 so be warned if you come down here. They used to get Mansell regularly in all sorts of hardware when he lived down here. I forgot to mention the S80 Volvo with the armed response stuff in the boot that goes up and down the M5 to Taunton

Not heard that! Have to be on the look out...

[Jones~32]

Not heard about that either Gnome :!Removed!: i'll bear it in mind....

[Roytoner]

When we drove in Italy this summer (God that sounds along time ago)

we saw 3 of them on the motorway

[Gnome]

Yup - keep an eye out Gents.

S.E counties, keep your eyes peeled for Black Skoca Octavia's now as well, and a big fat Beemer patrolling the M40...
