Saw a dark blue (maybe black) X reg unmarked BMW police car. 7 series I think. It had pulled over another BMW around the Jn 15 area. I hadn''t realised that the police have now added beamers into their unmarked squad, as well as Freelanders and Skoda (See Mel''s post). Ed

for more details of unmarked cars, mobile traps etc try www.ukgatsos.com, if we all contribute enough then the usefullness of silly games like theirs will be severly limited and we can all enjoy our motors.

A lot of the motorway police near my area have Merc's ML320s and a few unmarked saloons.. i have also seen beemers in liverpool and birmingham unmarked.. Good to know are taxes are going on the 'important' aspects of policing....

I suppose it,s handy to know what unmarked cars we have but most people that get 'nicked' by the unmarked cars are to busy racing with their mate or simply driving like a complete pratt to actually clock what is behind them let alone read its reg no (i'm not particularly aiming this comment at people on this website on the whole you all appear to be a bit switched on, but I have had a few good videos of members of the 'kiddie car club' totally oblivious to my presence, one even gave it the 2 finger salute when he was flashed to pull over, strange boy had a funny red face,). Just a note re the flashy cars we do get quite a few on test mercedes did lend us a couple of nice C class saloons the other week

Attention Eddy. I got stopped by a dark blue 5 series BMW going out of the M1 J15A services about four weeks ago. I was stopped because the (very rude) policeman thought I had a screw drilled into the car's number plate, to make an "8" look like an "R". A genuine mistake of course! Normally the police seem quite friendly and interested in my TVR, but I've heard how some people change when they get behind the wheel of a BMW. Haha! Regards, James.

www.ukgatsos doesn't work. would I perhaps look a bit churlish if I suggested that our dictatorship authorities had shut it down? this place gets more like communist China every day.

Notts police are now using stickered up Merc E Class estates, as well as BMW's Volvos, Scoobies, and I think I saw an Evo IV somewhere! How long before we see a Cerbera with blues and twos! I'm sure someone could knock one up in photoediter!
