M60, dark green 03 plate BMW 3 Series. It's a very distinctive colour.

And another dark green 'un on the M56 - X 397 YNY if I remember correctly.

Saw that on Sunday on the 56. Wouldn't look twice at it if it hadn't pulled someone over.

I seen Saturday morning 11 ish' 2nd June, a gun metal grey 3 series BMW on M6, South, between Thelwall viaduct and Lymme junction
Had some one pulled over. he had pulled over a Merc.
Couldn't get the number as i was in 3rd lane, and too much traffic.

Wow, that's old for a police car............ lots of BMWs being used all of a sudden. Is that because they are as common as Mondeos around here? Plus you don't think twice if you see one come up behind you fast? Just another rep on a mission.................

Very Sneaky.

Sneaky like the old ST200 Mondeo a few years back with big OZ multi-spoke wheels, blacked out windows and lowered suspension all concealing two spineless coppers.

Flame suit on.

Good one,

Any other markings, etc ?

[thepickle]

Didn't notice anything especially obvious, it passed me at speed from behind with lights flashing in the grill. One other bit of info is it's on steelies with plastic trims, not alloys, so just a normal bogo Vectra really.

I often spend my days in Macc Library (more fun than working from home all the time) and watch the cars coming and going to the Macc Police station.

There used to be a couple of dark coloured Vectras, with SD53 reg (I know this a my scoob was SD53 before I got my plate).

This week saw a slightly lighter coloured Vectra with 07 reg, so suspect it is the one that has been spotted above. Will keep an eye to get the reg next time, but very few visual clues to spot it (only a single extra arial obvious).

Perhaps not,
I have known them to remove the alloy's and fit steel wheels with innertubes.
I have heard that this is an advantade if they slide hard and hit a kerb, the wheel will not break, and the tyre will not deflate, as if it was tubeless alloy.

Saw this this morning in Runcorn, too.

Pulled over a woman in an MGF.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people that three teenagers have been stabbed to death in London in the last 7 days.

Don't really know why that sprang to mind....

"Beware of an unmarked Volvo Police car operating on the M62 near Huddersfield. Also, unmarked a Silver Skoda Fabia on the M6."
