What a disgrace.

Why is it a disgrace? Its free, its only for two weeks and it will be used by police to do their job.

The comments are hilarious.

One pster moans about the cost of such a car (despite it being on loan), then says they should use helicopters. Yeah, that's more cost effective, isn't it!!

I am amazed at how many utterly dense morons inhabit this planet, most of them are squeezed into this tiny island.

Explain yourself.

If you dont I will actually report your post on the grounds that you are too stupid for it to be called a "contribution" and move for your login to be blocked.

rofl @ the ignorance in this thread.

Do any of you really really believe that the police bought/leased/rented a brand spanking Lotus and had it liveried?

Bless.

Yes, it's a loan being donated by Lotus for two weeks. At no cost to the tax payer.

I'm guessing from the prominent Wood Way sticker that they have fitted the EWE for nowt as well.

They should use articles such as the Mail one as an impromptu IQ test - if you read the article and still post garbage like "waste of taxpayers money", "times are hard - not", "everyone cutting back we are all in this together" then you have failed the IQ test. Badly.

KK

It's the wrong message regardless of cost to the tax payer .Making derogatory remarks against people that have an opposing view to yourself is not that bright either.

An opposing view would be 'I don't the police should even borrow a car as they may generate Mail articles read by morons.' Being plain wrong is to start a topic implying something that is free is a waste of money when it isn't. In fact it may be saving wear and tear on another police car that does belong to the police There is a difference.

No.

Did you read the thread?

Being chased by that the best option would definitely be a de-camp!

It'd take any police a good while to clamber out of the thing and you'd be long gone.

Some of you are acting like this is a new thing?

That is amazing.

going a bit O/T does anyone have a hi-res version of this pic?

[AJS-]

Wow a police Lotus? That makes a life of crime easy - you just keep going for 5 miles and they will almost certainly break down, overheat, fall to bits or catch fire, and you can drive off into the sunset!

Why is it the wrong message.
It is free to use and will not cost anything in maintance.They can use it,rack up a load of miles in it and hand it back all free.

The vast majority of passing drivers will assume that the police force in question has puurchased the vehicle. That's what makes the message wrong, especially in these times of austerity.

Remember - perception is reality.
