A very old w reg subaru legacy estate. Looked like it was lowered but could have been the mountain of crap it had in the boot. Anyway it was unmarked with lights hidden behind the glass. Wasn't going that quickly but unusual to see such am old beast being used?

was it a plod driving it? also what colour was it?

I only ask as there's a guy in the rallying scene that has a forester that does medical response on events and has markers and sirens fitted to it. his is silver not 100% sure of the age/reg of it mind.

Had an interesting encounter at 8am on Saturday morning while driving down Tyndall Street in Cardiff.

I turned onto the street from Lloyd George Avenue to find a guy in a high vis jacket jump into the middle of the road 200 yards in front of me with what looked like a compact camera. Initially I thought he was a surveyor, but didn't see anyone else around, as I got closer I noticed a police car tucked in behind a bank at the side of the road. He took three measurements of my car to try to catch me out - wasn't happening since I wasn't speeding, but he pulled the guy behind me in straight away.

I bet they get quite a few people for speeding and over the limit from going out the night before on that spot! A bit sneaky I thought!
