Damn, I should know that, seen it numerous times and I am convinced it ends in something memorable - MVM or something similar springs to mind. IIIRC it is also one that does not start GX.

It’s a divisional car 😳

Most of our operational unmarked cars no longer start GX (and haven’t for some years now) - generally the CID fiestas still start GX

First thing I saw was the 'USE CORRECT LANE' or similar flash up in the rear screen (not to me!) and being driven by a female officer today.

This spot was a fairly memorable plate, only needed to remember 5 digits and that it was current reg.

It was also on the A3 overpass the other day. Seems they have replaced the Audi?

Blimey! Do these cars go to auction when they are de-fleeted? I'd have thought they'd be a good buy considering the servicing routine you outlined, unless you get one from Slough division where it's been chasing crooks through estates all it's life crashing over speed bumps at 60mph Road Wars style! (RIP Dixie whilst on the subject).
Only seeing this about Dixie now.. obviously didn't know him but he was a memorable chap on road wars. What was the outcome or is it to early yet ? Rip

Good business for Deepcut then, there was another marked car in the workshop.
Always lots of plod stuff there, we moved to Deepcut 3 years ago and on first visit to the property drove past Deepcut garage and thought it must have been a dodgy area as there was 2 cars and a riot van parked outside laugh

I play the 'what's unmarked police' as I drive past too.

Silver very non-descript looking '66' plate (sorry didn't get number) Hyundai i30 on A22 near to M25 J6 late last night.

Allegedly using tactic of crawling in the outside lane at about 50 (in NSL), not moving over into the empty inside lane for an oncoming car and then pulling over the driver who foolishly undertook them.

Do not presume crawling i30 is an old lady!

But whats the point in them doing this?

Surely if you don't 'weave' in and out of traffic to undertake and just stay in lane they can't do anything as per HC

Who knows, suspect their being in the outside lane wasn't actually trying to cause an issue, was just poor driving...
