unmarked police cars

[jimboy]

what unmarked cars are doing the rounds with thames valley and hampshire (M3) at the mo?

[splitter / judas]

Vectras (all body types), various Volvo's and BMWs.

Plus a Scoobie and a Skoda RS...........

Black Saab 95 (with those horrible headlights) that was VERY hard to spot, even with the sirens and lights on it was still pretty hard to spot how they'd hidden everything.

I saw a Silver Jaguar X-Type on the M3 recently

TVP have the Vectra and some Omegas still as unmarked i think.

For training we have BMW, Saab, Ford i think as unmarked.

Urban legend me thinks. Not ACPO approved.

I fully believe in the urban myth porsches but I saw one about 6 months that had given someone the pull on the M4.

If its genuine thats scary!

AFAIK TVP had intel forwarded to them about it as it was not too far from Reading Porker dealership. Possibly Porker mechanics playing silly buggers or someone wanting to play cops and robbers that day.

im near J9 M40 and usually Vectras all near me now they seem to have got rid off all the omegas. however they are the twin turbo jobs with very well hidden light clusters

I think you can count on one hand the number of Miggys TVP have left

Saw a Lexus 300 with blue lights flashing under the front grill storming down the M4 recently.

Wiltshire have a few, marked and unmarked, quite often see them M4 Swindon area.

Secret squirrels in London run unmarked and de-badged M5's at the moment - all dark blue or black.

If one of those pulls you over, I'd suggest no sudden moves... and hide the turban!

I spotted a dark blue 996 C4S last summer in Reading, A33 heading towards M4. Kojak light and everything! Driver wearing Police uniform.

Possibly the same car? (They can't have two the bastards!)

I shall have to look into this Porker thing...

Certainly not Hampshire's AFAIK. Ours are Skoda Octavias. There are a few other unmarked cars kicking about which could potentially pull someone over. E.g. we have an Omega 3.2L but it's not actually an RPU car and has no speed detection equipment.

White Astra hatch on a 55 plate in Farnharm yesterday. No real signs from the back but thats all i saw apart from being along side at the lights and two officers inside.
