Ian W Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 gotta be a stunt...isn't that the car that they say has a tendency to catch on fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah right - like the UK Police force could actually afford to run a thing like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Every frigging time the filth pull this PR stunt with a fast car the media jump on it as if it's going to be a real thing. For starters that particular car shouldn't be on the road here anyway, it's the model for other countries with the canopy, UK variants can't have this due to the legal requirement for wipers which means the canopy would need to be glass, which it isn't and would get scratched to crap. The rozzers would only break down or set on fire in that one anyway, they need the newer version to be able to actually go anywhere or chase anyone.

stupra Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The Police do make me smile with their PR stunts. The special cars they use to catch us are usually unmarked and goading you into a "bit of fun", this is livered up, so we're safe. . (Thats without it turning into a rolling BBQ if it tries to catch anyone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 They will never drive that supercar, i mean come on! An avarage police car is a 1.6 TCDI ford focus - bog standard. I know this because when we were all at the B/stoke meet, some idiot called the cops on us! He was a nice guy but he told us everything about the police force's cars... Unless it is the motorway police, then their car's have more power than standard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There was one point when a local lotus dealership 'gave' an Exige to the local rozzers. They promptly painted it standard police colours and took it to local shows! Never saw it on the road and it was based round the corner from my local at the traffic police HQ!!! Shows the government love wasting money then putting taxes up because they've overspent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
