Out of interest, as it's an A34 thread, has anyone else spotted a GTR out patrolling the A34?

Saw it stopped pulled over a customer on the northbound carriageway several weeks ago when passing through

Gunmetal grey paint with minimalist battenburg - perhaps on lone from Nissan but if not they're in for a surprise when it has it's first minor bump...
What a waste of a lovely car frown
At least it'll get used rather than just brought out for a couple of miles on a Sunday morning.
Used to generally piss the public off and be driven round like yobs on a joy ride.
Oh yeah of course (& it would be put to tremendously good use in your hands rolleyes )

Your probably right a mortal like me could never dream to attain the superhuman driving ability of the traffic police.
Well, I reckon the majority of BIB in the traffic cars are pretty good drivers. Granted, there are always exceptions in every walk of life but in 56 years of motorbiking and driving, and covering approx 100k miles per year 1993 to 2002 I have never actually witnessed bad driving by TPOL.

Nothing superhuman driving ability about it, the question still stands as to what good use you are going to put the vehicle to if it were in your hands.

Years ago the met had a fully marked up 928 club sport on trail-never saw it driving around but i did see the m3 that they had as well
It was a 968 CS, not a 928.
I remember seeing it on the M25 (must have been early nineties?). I had to double-take.

Don't be too hard on the lad, on previous threads, when given a hard time, he's been honest enough to say he's dyslexic.
We all have a voice on here, and the more the merrier I say! smile

Just kick the front and the force has a 15k repair bill ...
I've told you a million times to stop exaggerating!.

The bill was 7K which is perfectly acceptable to us rich b4stards.
