I know there was a thread on here or General Gassing, but cant find it.

Anyway, lets list up local known unmarked BiB cars?

There are the Silver Evo VIIIs flying around the (lower) A23

There is also a dark blue/black Volvo S80 (I think?)

Reason for posting is that Sussex Police (Brighton and A23) now have a sterling silver C Class Merc saloon (badged as a C32?) Its a 54 plate.

They did have a couple of white C Class Estates too

[quote=pkjk (RAW)]I got baited by a "silver C class" a couple of weeks ago. Eventually he overtook me and pulled some other poor sod over.[/quote]

Surely even your Ultima can outrun it?

[quote=pkjk (raw)]what would be perfect is a straight 0-70 challenge from some dual carraigeway traffic lights. All within limits, and the perfect way to legally waste an unmarked BIB car.[/quote]

They'll always think of something Peter. Probably classed as dangerous driving due to the brutishness of acceleration or something


PS Are you coming on the A23 Blatt on Thursday?



PPS Why doesnt PH like quoting your name Peter?

Not Unmarked BiB as such, more of a 'heads up'

For those who use the A23 regularly, the BiB have started using the hidden 'ramp' on the northbound carriageway between the Pyecombe Bends and Hickstead (the nice long straight bit?) for sneaky hand held camera action. See them a couple of mornings a week at the moment.

You have been warned!

Not sure if its an unmarked police car or a 'covert' car, but spotted near Horsham yesterday a new BMW 5 series in cobalt grey. Only noticed because he left his stick on blue light on the roof.

I obviously dont know what Im talking about but thought Id give you a 'heads up' anyway

Its such a shame, some kindly council worker a few weeks ago cut all the grass around this 'ramp', so now they cant hide any more...oh my heart bleeds for them hehe

Funnily enough, havent seen a police car there since the trim scratchchin

Seems like we have a new unmarked car on the A23. Spotted this morning flying northbound, all lit up like a Christmas tree, one of these:



Be careful out there

Slightly o/t, but in the East End today, I saw an unmarked, white Renault Scenic that had pulled somebody over.

Sneaky!

Has anybody else seen the newly erected signs on the A23 between Brighton & Crawley. They are still covered up, but I think they say "unmarked police cars are patrolling this road" Does this mean they are putting more unmarked motors on this stretch?


Yes. Was reported on the local radio last night that the signs would be unveiled today, although they still had one cover on when I went past at 9am this morning, but you could just make out the wording. They said on the radio that the police are putting more unmarked cars on the A23 following the (IIRC) 8 deaths on that stretch in the past 3 years.

Funnily enough, I logged on to post this very point, but you beat me to it

Heads up.

Bright silver 3 Series BMW saloon on the A23. He had just nabbed someone southbound and still had his blue front grill lights on.

Rather off topic, but i think I've spotted that cerb of yours driving through Worthing. Made my day hearing it burble away biggrin
Not mine Im afraid. Mine headed north up the '23 today to its second home, Austec Racing, to make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight good and proper. Wouldnt want a wheel falling off at Fighting Torque on Sunday whilst doing 170mph+ yikes

Probably PHer Ridds if it was in Worthing smile

I was 'somewhere'(in the Brighton/Worthing area) recently and at this 'somewhere' were half a dozen grey 3 and 5 series BMW estates waiting for their grill lights/radios etc to be fitted before being released upon us.
