Probably trying to get away from all the gun crime! :p

Lol sorry just kidding. :)

I guess the spoiler is removed so they can have those Police message boards and camera equipment at the back window?

Saw a post on PH earlier that there's an unmarked, 06 plate RS4 in the Bournemouth area now. Nice to see my taxes going to good use.

Plod do get them cheaper than Joe Public does though.

Scum :(

My dad told me that years ago when he was a young driver he was in a Escort something or other and someone behind was right up his arse wanting my dad to put his foot down...he did and then got pulled over.

Oldest trick in the book I'm afraid. It's really unfair frigtening people and panicing them in to speeding.

Aye, all the coppers I've met have been good blokes. I'm yet to meet a nasty copper though I do think ones attitude has something to do with the way they behave towards you. :)

Lucky man, I had an encounter with a prize plum of a police motor cyclist on the M1 North the other week.

There's a red one on the A41 that nearly got me, thankfully 2 artics blocked him in :p Was laughing for a while.

Did think it strange an evo being over-taken by an artic at the time, but sped off and then saw blue lights in its grill, and the artic behind me took ages to overtake him (thanks the hill too).

I believe it may be part of the armed response unit in sussex and it is indeed a gunmetal evo. There are also two or more silver C class(i think) merc's in sussex, and along with a few dark coloured volvo T5 estates and saloons, the usual omega's and a 406 or two. There are also reports of them using some sort of people carrier as well. However, most of these can be spotted (especially the merc's) because they have an additional aerial on the roof for their radio equipment etc)

The main concern is they have an outstanding number of mercedes', volvos and focus's with a custom high visibilty paint job of silver and illuminous yellow with flashing lights on top. These are particularly hard to spot.




I know the coppers at gatwick use an evo for their armed unit. I'm due to pay the armed unit a visit up there in a few weeks as my father is a mason with two of the officers. I'll let you know what i find out :)

One use for the rear facing cameras that are being fitted to a lot of cars now, just need some way of recording the footage...
