jim_supra Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Just been reading the local news site and have seen that Humberside police have just got themselves a Lexus IS-F to play around in. The coppers who'll get to drive it must be a bit chuffed:) http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/175mph-weapon-catch-criminals/article-1141052-detail/article.html Pictures here; http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/galleries/Humberside-Police-new-Lexus-car-gallery-1139815-detail/gallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It'll just be a show car, they had a kind of police Segway at Goodwood but that doesn't mean they'll be using it. I'm surprised they even let this happen considering the huge amount police forces are being made to save in the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 now i know where my income Tax going Yes and don't forget your council tax contributions too. If we all paid just £1 a month more each- they could all have really cool cars to smoke around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The US motoring sites have just got wind of this one and started reporting on it, some nicer pics though, looks like they have had a photoshoot with it instead of catching some crims. Bet it goes like a bat out of Hull. They have a lot of nice cars over there though, EVOs used to be the norm and were used in anger rather than just for promo stuff.

michael Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Nice one. I can't take the credit for that one, someone else did the basic joke on the US site with the pics, I just added to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Now i know where my income tax going Probably "on approval" from Toyota. They wouldn't pay anything like retail price anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Probably "on approval" from Toyota. They wouldn't pay anything like retail price anyway. Exactly. Usually sponsorship agreements. My dad used to arrange them for his area (Landrovers) and they were provided free. Its a clever idea by the car manufacturers if you ask me. Police have them, they get seen a lot and so others like them.... V70 T5 Volvo, Range Rover, Evo, Imprezza. All good cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It looks very much like an Evo X from the back... And the front... Why not just get another Evo? Or why not put up some more speed cameras? That seems to solve everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 My nick has just been "given" a new unmarked car with covert blues and twos Audi RS6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I wonder how much that photoshoot cost..... pfft Man called Trev using his 5mp Camera from Argos (bought in the sale), a few photo's, cups of tea and chocolate Hob nobs........ I would say about £20,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
