Cant be a Grey BMW as Hants police have bought them all as unmarked, unless Surrey have one of their old ones lol!

Can be a grey BMW , and brand new. Some other new ones on the way too........

Grey BMWs like:
CK65***
EX64***
LS17***
LW15***

Are still in service?

Better keep my eyes open for the new additions...

Hmm, these days I get paranoid around any BMW repmobile which is not in the outside lane, unless its being driven badly or has obvious chav/family/private plate indicators.

Edited to add: Which I guess means that the Police have succeeded in making me drive more slowly more of the time

Navy blue BMW X5 on the A404 between Marlow and the M4 this evening. Two uniform guys in it.

BMW 5 series in grey GX65 XCW or something like that.

Was a fair way behind me on the M26 with the blues on but turned them off as he came up behind me, nothing was overtaking him. He sat behind me for a little bit, then pulled to overtake and carried on at about 85-90.

Having had a chat to the 2 nice gentlemen inside about a bit of overtaking it's actually a black BMW X5. Managed to get a close up look whilst they were checking my deets!

Merc c220d estate through Weybridge last night, WO66 LTU. In navy blue to disguise the blue lights in the rear bumper.

Dark Blue Audi A3 (maybe an S3?) on the A30 earlier this afternoon, along with 2 marked BMW's that were dealing with, what appeared to be, the fallout from an accident.

Looked like a car had tried turning into The Avenue blind but, as per usual, hadn't bothered to check that the bus lane was clear too and had smacked into a taxi.

Silver Octavia VRS on M3 J4-4a southbound Thursday morning.
Small black camera I assume on centre rear spoiler support, pulled some unfortunate.
Never like Skoda's up my chuff

I saw a ZZR1400 on the M25 in Surrey the other day... filtering through traffic with concealed blue lights flashing. At the time I assumed it was an unmarked police bike, but now thinking it may have been someone just trying it on- Anyone else seen this ?

Nice bit of kit, only way you would escape that is when it ran out of squirt

Grey BMW?

Is it blue with a plate beginning 'HH'?

[anonymous-user]

Fairly sure there was an unmarked red focus behind me on the a3 the other day. Might have been an ST?

According to my FIL there’s an unmarked car out and about late at night. Couldn’t remember what make or model (very helpful) but said it was an old battered thing with headlights that weren’t properly levelled and blinded.

Blue lights came on and he was hesitant to stop as he didn’t believe it was an unmarked. Still wasn’t sure even after the blokes showed him ID. He didn’t believe they were real coppers as they didn’t know what a ‘purple plus’ was.

He was stopped at 2am whilst driving a white van on the way back from shift. The stop makes sense as why would a tradesman be on the road that late but he still sensed something was off with it.

So yeah. Be on the lookout for a battered older car with blinding headlights and concealed blues. Haha

Where abouts was your FIL stopped.

I had to look up what a ‘purple plus’ is!! It looks to be ambo slang for a dead person???

So just because they didn’t know doesn’t mean they weren’t!

Chertsey way and a Purple Plus means a dead person who’s been dead a long time. Purple = death plus = long time.

He said It was more the fact the type of car that caused his doubts. I find His Ambo slang annoying!!
