Back in the early 90s Warwickshire Police, especially around Stratford-upon-Avon where I lived, had an Unmarked, Sierra Sapphire Cosworth. I have worked for an ex traffic officer, who drove their unmarked Impreza sti, which had different sets of number plates which they used and was registered to a fake business so not to show it was a Police car. They also had an unmarked Suzuki Hayabusa and an unmarked Porsche Caymen s

2022-02-21 09:13:01 +0000 UTCAs a Scandinavian i can confirm that a head on collision with a moose (that's actually the animal we are referring to in the älg-test) is to be avoided. A fully grown one weigh up to 600 kilo's and they almost always land on your windshield and sometimes end up inside the car. It's the one situation where you better of steering into the ditch than hitting the animal.

2022-02-20 21:25:09 +0000 UTCBrilliant episode Gents. I think the big takeaway from this week's effort is that if blood and or lumps are showing up where they probably shouldn't, get it checked out. Well that and don't buy an ex-plod BMW.

2022-02-20 18:39:25 +0000 UTCWith all this police car and Lexus chat let's not forget Britain's craziest police car, that time in 2008 Humberside police bought an IS-F, a decision so nuts David Cameron called it out in his 2010 election campaign
