gordy07 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I was working in a garage today changing the lights in the spray bay and the guy in the bodyshop said he was just popping out to see his mate,the copper. Never thought much about it until i heard a nice grumble and turned round to see the police car. A fully marked Evo X:D Awesome machine i went out to speak to the policeman to ask what was under the hood and he reckons it was running about 360bhp:eyebrows: Is that about right for a standard plod car;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 EVO V is a bit old for a Police car now isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The EVO is a good choice for a squad car.... http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/police/dscd0335.jpg Not as good as the European's though... http://www.bobmodifiedbmw.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/german-police-cars.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Do you mean an EVO X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Sure it wasn't an Evo V - Maybe a VIII?... Chetenham's had an Evo for years now, and there's quite a few in forces around the country now... Still like that promotional Lambo though - Good advert for lambourghini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 im in houston and seen one of these as the state coppers car. It was white with light grey markings. Very sneaky http://www.automedia.com/NewCarBuyersGuide2007/photos/2007/Dodge/Charger/Sedan/2007_Dodge_Charger_ext_1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Ive seen many stateside without any markings, the aerials & lights on the rear parcel shelf give them away though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK can do it using the Proceeds of Crime Act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
