I can see scummy and rastus putting through some purchase requests on monday morning!

Rather than break down barriers with other motorists, I would of thought the barriers would get bigger when people realize public money is being used to provide toys like that to coppers.

so, they buy a really fast car... To try and communicate the message to not go really fast.

Glad to see fine payments are going back into the community to support local projects and economic growth in low decile areas

They could have at least got the specs right

That article reads as if the car is only on loan from the dealer? It isn't exactly what you'd call explicit though...

Its the UK version. Everyone knows poms are slower

Still gonna laugh when they put the local plod in that after 6 weeks training in an astra.........wipeout!

With the state of some of their bumpy concrete motorways over there I don't think they'll be winding that thing up too much.
Those V70 Volvo wagons they have already are seriously fast and the tyres and suspension better suited to real road use. I nearly got run over by one of their armed response Merc wagons when I was over there, mind blowing acceleration. Funny for a country that originated the 'whining pom' stereotype you don't seem to hear of any bad press about police pursuits over there. People seem more accepting there of what the cops need to do to nail bad guys.
Reckon that McLaren will act like a mufti car though as it just wont look like a cop in your mirrors...

You should put more time and effort into learning how to spell and shit..."log" should be "long"

But then I'm just here to rack up my post count haha

As long as the "chasee" has a more fuel efficient vehicle [at speed] he/she should be "sweet as bro"

You seen the suspension in the Macca? It'll ride nicer than the V70 wagons, and handle betterer too amazing bit of kit that one

Cambridgeshire police have a grey unmarked R1 fully fitted with calibrated speed cameras, all the flashing lights. And even up close you can't see all the special bells and whistles. Very frustrating...

As far as I know, UK Police do not leave training college qualified to drive their high performance persuit cars (Area cars), only the (Panda?) patrol cars. I beleve that is a distict qualification that they can choose to undertake for that role.

I'd be surprised if that had changed over the past years.

And the kiwi cop that pulled me the other day had never heard of road craft and was questioning why I didn't ride in the centre of the lane!
