Unmarked police cars in South-West ?
Discussion
What makes them really stand out is the two b*gg*rs with a note book saying "ello ello, where's the race then sonny Jim"

Or in my case a few years back "Who do you think you are then, Sterling Moss?"
To which my very helpful passenger answered (before I could answer myself);
"No, Ari Vatanen, the flying Finn".
(We were in a fully stage rally prepared vehicle, very late at night, spot lights and intercom headsets on, having a bit of a play while shaking the car down ahead of an event).
Unfortunately the officer knew exactly who Ari Vatanen was (which actually impressed me quite a lot!).
However the officer in question suffered a sense of humour failure at that point and I spent 20 minutes in the back of his unmarked car before being let off with a producer.
Nowadays speeding on main roads is just asking for trouble really, no chance of spotting all of the unmarked cars which are out there (as I have previously posted, java green Mercedes Sprinter in Cornwall with blacked out rear windows for example!). Either stick to 80ish on the mains or accept that you will end up with points in the future.
Could be another thread topic here, how many people do you know who have no points?

Just Saw this car in newquay, just got in, the copper was in front of us and some drunkered hit his car, copper jumped out and ran after him , highlight of my evening! lolThis week - 9 Sept 07
Blue Volvo estate V70, been around for a while.
Silver Subaru Forrester - very well converted, small clear lights that look like indicators in the bumpers but are actually the blue lights. New 07 plate
Both seen in the Exeter to Bridgewater stretch of the M5
Plus watch for the new camera van - white transit that i saw sitting on the A38 bridge for the Totnes, Dartington turnoff at Buckfastleigh

They still have the dark blue V70 estate in and around Bodmin/A30
I saw a silver new shape 3 series on the M4 go flying past me a few weeks back with two lights in the blacked out rear window.
oh and this list may be of interest to thos in Devon/Cornwall

I got the shock of my life this week - in the rear view mirror
A SILVER FORD FOCUS ST - Looked completely standard except for the blue lights flashing me from behind the grill.
Thank god i pulled in & he flew past, i then followed him down to the Plymouth turn off from the A38
No extra mirrors & a plain clothes driver with a hand held radio, no aeriels
