Are the police still using old escort cosworths?
No, not for a long time now. Last ones to retire them were the Lancashire guys who had them on raised suspension for following joyriders off road into fields/over kerbs etc.In Scotland, it's been about 10 years (at least) since they have been in Police hands. I have it on good authority (from someone who was involved in maintaining them) that by the end the running costs would have bankrupted a small banana republic.

There's also an unmarked black (or very dark blue) BMW 3-series saloon on an 07 or 57 plate (didn't get a lot of time before I had passed them). Saw it today between (old) Glasgow Zoo and Uddingston, with a popup Police sign in the back window

the unmarked 5 series (there may be a dark blue one also) has been working the M80 between Glasgow and Stepps hard, have seen at least 5 people pulled over by it on the hard shoulder in the last few weeks. Its crazy, can't see why that stretch should be a 50, its a motorway, nowhere near housing/pedestrians and is a fairly straight and safe stretch of road.yellowbentines said:
