A black A6 TDI reg BX61 OCD with a dog grill thing on the M6 between Junctions 8 and 2 Southbound.
Bit of baiting going on, absolutely razzed up behind me, for some reason I didn't particularly like the feel of it, so I pulled over. Only for them to pull in behind me.
Obviously got bored, flew past - I had a good look to see if it was police, and they just looked like two blokes wearing casual black jackets messing around. They slowed down, I went past, they pulled out and accelerated up behind me again, I pulled in... you get the picture, they did the same with a few other cars on the stretch of road.
Definitely police, flashy flashy lights came on briefly when I had had enough of the 'game' and dropped a couple of gears to overtake them doing 60 in the middle lane (fortunately didn't go anywhere near fast enough for them to pull me over), Mr cheeky in the passenger seat gave me wave and wink as they went past.

Have you forgotten how to use punctuation recently?
Take it or leave it, I was amused by the whole incident but I'm fairly sure if someone was pulled over for speeding by them they'd be less than happy. Just letting you know what I saw and how *very* unmarked and not at all obvious it was.

Well, in that case you've got a case of two guys in a Black A6 (TDI) reg BX61 OCD driving round with blue flashing lights in their front grill.
I'd suggest ( as might our bib posters) a quick call to 999(police) with reg and details . Quicker the likes of Elroy & mates take him off- the safer our motorways become . - edit. As I stated, they weren't behaving like police either which made it even more surprising when the lights came on.

They're not traffic cars as such, although obviously they do some traffic work, they belong to the Armed Response Unit.
Thats cool. I wouldn't have thought there would be an armed response unit being around here but I guess they will be located all over.Guinney1971 said:
I've seen those Volvo ARU cars and their driver's in action, they dealt with some youngsters who went in to the Post Office in our village with a gun at the start of the school holidays last summer - to say the lads 's**t a brick' when faced with armed plod was something of an understatement ;D
You don't live near somewhere which has a pub beginning with Yew which I believe is now an Indian do you?

Thought I'd seen you about. I work at a very close ex-mining town...
(Although I'm regularly found in the chip shop of the aforementioned Yew named pub containing village)
lol, there's loads of those round here, you'll have to be more specific.(Although I'm regularly found in the chip shop of the aforementioned Yew named pub containing village)
I do go in the chippie sometimes, but the portions are way to big (even the small ones) and we always end up leaving loads (despite getting one small portion between us).
I guess with a driveway resembling a parking lot, we are quite noticeable...... lol
