Basingstoke Police use Skodas, I'm not sure if the dark coloured one is still about but they have a nice Shiney silver Octavia that cruises around the area, including the M3 and other major routes. Junction 5 at Hook late at night is a favourite haunt.

That one may not be an RPU car, although RPU do have unmarked Octavia VRS.

TVP were trialing a marked Saab 95 Aero

How can you think those things are nice, or did you mean the older one?

New style. I like them so

I followed a silver Octavia up the M3 the other night in my cab, as we both exited the slip road at Junction 5 I Noticed the normal small screens in the rear window. There was a Police BMW sitting on the roundabout watching traffic coming down from the London direction and the silver Octavia stopped for a chat. I felt pretty sure if I had been breaking the highway law he would have collared me

black 5 series on A217, Surrey / London border.

There is a black unmarked Subaru Impreza WRX STI running the M40 at the moment. I saw it at Junction 8 - it's the latest model (gen4?) last of the propper looking Scoobies.

Scared the s**t out of me. You just couldn't tell.

Black Leon Cupra at petrol station just off Handy Cross roundabout
I didnt think that these were used, but definately had concealed blue lights, LED matrix on rear window, multiple aerials etc

Black 996 C4S down the M4!

I spotted a dark blue 996 C4S last summer in Reading, A33 heading towards M4. Kojak light and everything! Driver wearing Police uniform.

Possibly the same car? (They can't have two the bastards!)

A senior fire officer for the Reading area drives a Porsche 996 c4s. When there is a major incident he attends and has a removable blue light on the roof. TVP do not use any Porsches.

Ah, I've heard about this guy. Think he used to have an E39 M5.

Seen that one had pulled someone just before the Banbury junction about 6 months ago. Always brake for black scoobies now...

I have seen this car and read many threads about it. I seriously doubt that it is a TVP car. It may be a TV copper on his way to a job though.

In any case, I don't think we need to worry about being pulled for speeding by a C4S. Just get out the way of it - he's probably got somewhere to be.

I will remember that ... my old man was almost done at 1.0 lepton on the mad-mile, but someone overtook him going faster ... and then got pulled further down the road ...

he was feeling quite fortunate ...

Black Audi A3 Sportback, on M25 Surrey section

[kelk]

Last Sunday I saw a brand new black Jag X-type with 2 plods climbing out of it having pulled over a car going southbound on the M3.

[ZR1cliff]

That silver Skoda Octavia GN57CYP looks nice.

[968CSReading]

I know its not the TV but saw a Silver X Type pulling someone on the M40 (warwick area). It was the Sporty one with the bodykit and was sitting very low

[wasted years]

With all the kit in the boot I'm not surprised it's riding low.

Saw that in Mayford on Saturday. It's an 04 reg which surprised me.

Not stalking you honest!

but at about 15:30 today a dark blue saloon car slapped a blue light to it's roof and came hammering up the road from blockbusters heading towards Guildford. Lights flashing from the front and back grill.

Without the lights I would have said it was Mondeo man
