If you were in Met ground it would have been their Traffic equivalent, a silver V70 2.0 diesel. 0 - 60 in around 10 seconds.
Would this car come as far out as Bracknell? I saw a 12 plate one on Thursday evening parked up with the occupants still inside it.If not, then I guess the local guys here have one as well!

Hard to say really. It's not met ground but we do venture out quite a bit.If not, then I guess the local guys here have one as well!
Basically if it looks/sounds/moves impressive, it's a decent counties car.
If it's boring, and silver. Yeah.

2 coppers in a Volvo had a good look at the 840 on the m25 on thurs afternoon. The new ones just don't have the cache of the old t5's
The new T6 is a lot better than the T5,they are a lot quicker and handle much better, but they are a lot more thirsty 
They're getting on a bit now and won't be replaced with anymore, I think they'll be around for another 6 months

Out of interest, what sort of miles do you guys put on the marked and unmarked cars a month?They're getting on a bit now and won't be replaced with anymore, I think they'll be around for another 6 months

Most will do 150+ miles in 1 shift, 3 shifts in 24hrs, so that's a lot of miles a month and a huge fuel bill
Now we are only allowed to go to the "corridors", we sometimes just do around 10 miles in a shift where we repeatedly drive up and down the same piece of road for 8 hours. and a huge fuel billWaugh-terfall said:
Saw a boggo silver Focus hatch, steel wheels and trims etc with covert lights racing down Onslow Street yesterday afternoon as I was pulling out of The Friary Service Area, I see them all the time, black, silver, maybe grey too. What are they?
I see them, but they're usually 3-4 up.. Never one BiB on his own in the car.Waugh-terfall said:
Any one in the Discovery 4 tonight or a Focus Estate? Just had a Honda CRV abandoned in the dead end outside my house and the occupants smash a load of pot plants etc jumping my fence. Just had an officer searching my garden with a torch.
Haslemere area? I was considering turning out for it, but had already done 11 hours and wanted to go home (and I was in Guildford) Did they catch them in the end?

Came over the radio that one had been caught whilst I was talking to the one who'd searched our garden, then a few mins later the other one was found. They'd basically come back on themselves so they were ony about 400 yards away the otherwise of a house or two. When they jumped the fence from drive to garden they landed on big plant pots, a parasol base, waste bags and the edge of a few steps, so at least they probably hurt themselves a bit.
Silver V70 estate (TVP) stopped us at about 2am a few weeks ago , OU12 plate , in the driveway for st Anne's manor Hilton in Wokingham / Bracknell . Not speeding but we looked too young to drive the car apparently (2 18yr olds in a 61 plate BMW x3 ) (mates dads company car insurance is flexible to say the least)
