Saab 9-5 Aero, 4 up on the A6097 at Epperstone LG58 CHO. Training vehicle??
As it came past 2 cars behind me across hatchings and in a 50 zone at far more than that....

I thought, "What a tcensoredt!" Then noticed the lights in the rear window and the passenger in a white shirt with epaulettes.

Silver Skoda Octavis VRS Saloon - 04 plate cruising round Nottingham city centre. Seen it a couple of times including following me right from London Road roundabout to Lenton. Quite a steady run that was rofl
Saw this one again last night in West Bridgford discussing the merits of not driving using a mobile phone with a taxi driver!

Probably the same one (Dark grey, 55 plate and a dent in the tailgate) attending the aftermath of a shunt on the M1 this afternoon.

Unmarked black subaru impreza with gold alloys containing two kitted out rozzers, spotted today sitting on the A610 island in Langley Mill today, looked like it was watching the through traffic going towards the BNP event at Codnor.

One intresting thing about these is that all of Derbyshire's Subaru's and Evo's have been seized from drug dealers or money launderers under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Instead of being crushed they have been put to good use with the Road Crime Team (not road traffic offences, think more the proactive unit off Road Wars).

I'm glad i've got this weekend off with that event on!

Thought as much, it looked way too flash to be a normal unmarked traffic car, by the way there also seems to be another black Focus with white stripes in and around Eastwood - realised this after I waved to it on more than one occasion Doh!

R32? That's really not very fair! furious As if having a scamera van on the Stoneleigh bridge snapping at traffic coming down the hill from the A45 wasn't enough...
