Regulator Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 http://www.uk-mkvs.net/forums/2/306671/ShowPost.aspx#306671 I thought this post on uk-mkiv's might be interesting to read as it has a list of a few police models in various area's ... If you know of any near east london, ilford area, please let me know! ... I was also wondering, if an unmarked police car starts racing you and you decide to play with them, can they still book you even if you don't pass them??

Mollox Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Because they wouldn’t be able to save lives and keep us on the right side of 100 in panda cars! Top marks to the 2 sneaky police fellas in the very marked dayglo vectra on the M25 near Rickmansworth yesterday afternoon though Quite possibly the best hiding place I have seen. The slip road there loops tightly onto the M25 and they were in a layby on the slip road in a position only visible when you’re alongside them. I dread to think what might have happened if the road was clearer. Also, remember to look left as you pass slip roads – I always do as a matter of course, and obviously there’s never anything there. But this sat morning I was stuck in the sort of 55-60mph traffic that really wouldn’t be there if people could only just use lanes properly. Finally a car that was holding us up moved over and I was just about to stamp on it and make some progress but just as they were moving over we went past a slip road so I looked left and I was alongside a bloody marked T5 Again, seconds away – I dread to think Drive safely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Herts police have alsorts of stuff. But one to be VERY carefull about is a White Scooby. Nowt unusual about that you might thing, but it's an old shape one. They also have a fair few silver 5 series and silver V70's, couple of Octavias and Fabias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulator Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 In the ilford area we have many marked 5 series ... looks like the police have too much tax money! ... and a white scooby, what are they thinking of??? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 West Midlands have a few gun metal grey Skoda Octavia estates for thier unmarked cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 The thing about unmarked cars to remember is that not every "unmarked" car is a Traffic Car installed with all the Vascar gear, video equipment etc. I live close to a Police depot and there's a great number of unmarked cars that have nothing to do with traffic. Also this was really in evidence in central london in July. Unless you see them with traffic officers inside, they may just be using our motorways to well....get around! I know a lot of the Met cars that senior police officers get ferried around in have the full range of blue-two-ery but doesn't mean they're out stopping motorists. Great hidden trick for stopping road rage or getting some silly idiot out of the way though. Apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theduisbergkid Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Mate in CID says they have a few odd cars (Nissan 200sx for example), plus the more obvious scoobies, Octavias, T5s etc.. these don't get used for traffic though, so unless you drive like a complete tw4t they won't stop you. He said they also rent dull stuff like astras, 307s etc to look completely anonymous, mind you, they wouldn't be able to chase much in 'em...

sp0ck Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Went past Surrey Police's black 'S' type Jag on the M23 today, it had pulled over a taxi and on the basis that there can't be two out at the same time I though it would a good opportunity to floor the Lancer Evo, it dun 'alf go.

jimdiesel Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Are you sure it was not a Fire Officer on his way to a shout. Thier cars are often fitted with blue thumps behind the radiator grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
