I have seen this car around for a few months now, but in the last couple of weeks I have seen it nearly every day, in and around Derby. It is nicking folks right, left and centre. From my observations, its pull rate is phenomenal.

03 plated Volvo S40 saloon, old model in a dull metallic grey. It looks like a grandad car. Stealth personified.

Last week I saw it having pulled over a chavved up Corsa with daft font on the reg number and all sorts of Christmas tree lights front & rear. A new Clio Sport also with a very wrong font. An Audi with only one headlamp and front fogs blazing at the front, and a dead short at the rear doing some funny indicator/side light tango. Seen loads more pulls too, mostly for stuff that appears to be obvious vehicle faults/contraventions etc, rather than speed related.

All good stuff TBH. But keep an eye out for it. It would be a shame to get pulled by it for something as trivial as 'going quickly tax' when from what i've seen so far it's pulling folks over for proper things.

Will try to get the full reg number next time I see it.

There's been a silver Evo around pride park with lights and sirens fitted - although TBH the first time I thought it looked dodgy, but now I'm fairly sure it is kosher.

Would that be the one I saw on the M42 Sunday? Hugh wing on the back (though factory fit)

There was a rather nippy blue volvo pulling cars over at junction 11 of the M6 yesterday. Never seen a scooby or evo though...

There is an unmarked silver vectra that runs around the Reddicth Bromsgrove area, particularly along the A448 - ask Mrs FFG who was followed/harrassed by him for about 10 miles and he followed her into work and told her off for doing 88 in a 50 but didn't do her, thankfully.
