Yeah, they respray them every week too...

That's like the colleague of mine (married to a cop) who insists that many of the 530ds/Focus Diesels actually have M5 and ST engines in them, with the old engines in storage so they can drop them back in for resale.

OK. hehe

Just had a text from my old man saying a "dark blue unmarked volv 740" is patrolling the a9. I would take the model with a pinch of salt though! Volvo v40 or v70 I guess.

I've got visions of James Bond and his revolving number plates!

Maybe they'll fit car to car rockets next! ;-)

Oh aye, almost forgot.

White Evoque, going out the A71 at Sighthill today from Edinburgh.

Blues and Twos, don't know what service, could've been Fire I suppose, but it travelling at a fair rate towards the Calder Road fire station confused
