cruiser647 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Anyone know what's going on? Cruising down the A1 this morning, got to Sandy roundabout and a Nissan truck thingy (a Daz wagon) came past, blue lights down by the bumper edges flashing and main beams flashing away. Sirens on. Thought nothing of it Got to the Sainsburys at Biggleswade and 3 more unmarked Police cars came past - lights flashing, shades on. A BMW 1, a Mini and an A3. Got to Stevenage and a BMW 3 estate hove into view a few miles back. This one eventually made it's way to me, and as it went past, the woman in the car infront was completely unaware of it. The BMW was weaving from one side to another - notihng doing. Just past the Stevenage junction I see her career over into the other lane. She must have got the message. The BMW steamed off. Got to the next Stevenage junction, and another pick-up came past. Between Stevenage and Welwyn Garden, a Golf GTi and a white VW Crafter Van came by (much slower). Must be something big going - the only thing I can think of is that they are the Olympic Torch bods changing duty rostas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 What possible reason could the police have for using one of those ridiculous truck things then? They are sh1t off road, sh1t on road, and sh1t for carrying stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Maybe it's an undercover pikey operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Maybe they like doing stake-outs on building sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Maybe they've uncovered that MrMe is Test driving a "possible" new car today !!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Lots of police cars all heading in the same direction? Somewhere has a free donuts promotion going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Saw something odd on the Autobahn this week. 2 F10 5-series unmarked plod cars - they had no graphics, but were running with blues and a POLIZEI matrix in the rear window. But they were running very fast, and very close, in a 'staggered' formation in the 'fast' lane. No idea what they were up to, but it looked damned impressive. Not quite as impressive as the cavalcade for an African dictator near the Reichstag, though - there were lots of strange movements of diplomats around the area, but that was the one which stood out. Think it was his white military jacket and big, peaked, military cap that made it so prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny11 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Off topic slightly, but here in Surrey I see loads of unmarked police cars, yesterday one was a y reg ford mondeo. How do we know they are actually unmarked police cars? And not just someone that's put blue lights on their grill and fitted a siren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 not just someone that's put blue lights on their grill and fitted a siren. That should be in the ideas thread for TDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Resurecting an old thread but it doesn't really warrant a new one of it's own. Our local force has got rid of the blue R32 and black A3 they had, I've spotted the replacement a few times but not managed to get a picture of it before - De-badged for some sneaky reason, perhaps because a reg check shows it to be a 260bhp 130i M Sport rather than the expected 2.0 TDi? Anyway, I'd never really thought much about these before, but they look like quite a tasty motor, wonder how much you can pick one up for second hand?

M8CKN Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I saw a black X5 in Liverpool last week, looked standard but lit up like an Xmas tree when someone jumped the lights. Blues in the mirrors, grill, headlights, looked very stealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 This one had the blues in the rear clusters as you can see, it also had 3 small blue LED's in each mirror casing (almost impossible to spot unless they are lit up), and in the grille and sidelights too.

M8CKN Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Same. Gone are the days of spotting them by extra door mirrors and multiple aeriels, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
