[boobles]

If any of you buy the comic (sorry the sun news paper) then turn to page 19.

And the metro page 25 (for the commuters amoungst you)

Slow news day - this story batts around every few months with the same picture....

[beak]

damn, they've covered half the reg plate, how are we going to know its a cop car now ?

[Gooby]

Do they know how much those extra lights and sirens weigh? And those graphics are all stick on. That thing must weigh a ton!

According to the Metro its so it attracts younger kids to be more inquisitive about road safety as they all want to look at the car.

Utter b*llocks.

There is a free "blokes" paper, given out on a thursday in the city. Last week there was a clarkson interview and he stated his top 10 cars.
Number 10 was the Elise which he says is "more fun than watching the entire french air force crash into a fireworks factory"

Made me smile.

By the time the dayglo tt manages to get out of the car to make an arrest the 'criminal' will be long gone.

I can't wait to hear about the first high speed persuit chasing an impreza or evo in the rain!

Its good to know public funds are being well spent............

Am I sensing some antiplod feelin...?

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't cost the tax payer anything, the cars are lent free of charge by Lotus as it's good PR for the company.

A potential flaw in the plan is that the chavs will be miles away by the time the coppers have managed to squeeze out through the doors!

I do hope lotus were good enough to exclude the air conditioning option when donating then!!!

Load of old bol1ocks. The car can't be used in anger, it's got some stickers on it and gets parked up at maxpower type events to drum up some interest. Will NEVER be used as an operational vehicle.

DAFL... Sussex Cops right? Loaned by Frosts of Shoreham or something.

Not much use vs. a Honda'd or Audi'd Elige either

We're not allowed to chase a blo0dy smart car nowadays, so what cars we have makes no difference anyway!

Judging by the way you drive it'd lose you after the first corner anyway!

[Hollywood Wheels]

Yeah, fair comment!!!
