Bet that has comfy seats in it to have a snooze on duty.

In paisley there is a blue toyota van. Its on an sf plate its about the size of the old peugeut expert/citroen dispatch. Was shocked when I seen it. Very undercover!

If you get done by it, you need your eyes testing, that's all i'll say.

Dunno if it's been mentioned already but I spotted an unmarked new style Impreza (black) a couple of weeks ago between Blackburn and Kintore, I only managed a quick glance but I'm pretty sure it was an STi.

@ the VW Transporter undercover vehicle. You would not expect that!

Fairly rapid for a van too - 130ps and a stload of torque (I've got one too). Although I very much doubt that's a rapid reponse unit using that...

Saw an unmarked silver 530d BMW on Ferry Road in Edinburgh today. SN57GXP

[edp190]

Saw 2 different unmarked golfs both blue and also a dark coloured saab estate with coppers sat in them on sat.
Have never seen them in golfs before! So keep your eyes peeled lads. ;-)

Spotted an unmarked silver w211 e-class (I think, as it was dark and the car passed me going in the opposite direction) pulling someone in the west end of Edinburgh last night. What was unusual about it was that it had been pimped. It was def. lowered and had big chrome alloys.... maybe the drugs squad?

[grumpyscot]

Saw a silver Fiesta Fusion in East Lothian - on the Longniddry dual carriageway - yesterday, catching people speeding through the temporary roadworks. Didn't manage to ge t the reg unfortunately.

I was stopped for a chat by what I think was a red focus, on the M8 the other night!

Don't think police stop folk on the M8 for "chats"???

[erdnase]

Hah, they did with me.. no blues and twos, unmarked car and questionable driving on their behalf.

Details are in my SP&L post: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Thought this was posted before but couldnt find it but be careful next time you see an arnold clark self drive car/bus/van.

noticed a few in down on sunday/monday night.

Unmarked Black 5 series (SF59) pulled a van this evening on Corkerhill Road. So its bound to be around the M77 etc.

[klimakool]

dont know if anyones said yet but a silver focus sk57 hvn or something close to that, you can tell it from behind as the rear red flashing light has been fitted in plain sight in back window. seen it 3 times in stirling so far, plus the big blue tax disc holder is a dead give away

It would all be fine if the polis were reasonable about things. I got done not so long ago for not stopping at a red light. But I did stop (which they acknowledged). But I was thinking about something else and 'went' when another nearby light went green, which I caught in the corner of my eye. The police stopped me and breathalised me (I was 100% sober). I explained that it was a simple mistake but overly serious cop said 'I have no option but to charge you'. Lies pig, you do have the option and don't insult my intelligence saying you don't!!

I feel a bit better now...

Tayside police by any chance? I got stopped in dundee for pretty much the same thing, was totally lost trying to find a friends new house, made a turn when i shouldnt have, not knowing it was traffic light controlled. They then went on to accuse me of drink driving etc even after i explained the situation, passed the breathalyser obviously. Then got 3 points anyway. I was in the wrong still, but the way they went about it pissed me off. Even stopped me considering applying for a job with the police for a while.

Theres a silver corsa that operates around here, but i dont think its used for traffic.

I've almost caught myself doing that - sat waiting at lights, and a nearby light goes green. Managed to stop myself, but I think it's easily done. One of those little random brain farts we all have from time to time!
