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.
I have seen that around Woking, they attended some sort of domestic involving a mad person round my way, so looks like it is a general patrl vehicle. Really weird car to use in my opinion...

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! wink

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
tongue out

Saw a bright yellow '54 plate Seat Leon with blues and twos on the M40 on Saturday.

Unusual.

It sounds very weird to me... reflections?

If I saw a banana with blues I think I would faint... (sorry Ben)

Its dark blue, but don't tell anyone, oh and it has two aerials which a normal 5 series does not have, and a camera on the offside of the rear shelf.

Black 996 C4S down the M4! eek
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 bds!)
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.
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.
As I said it's not a Police car and no it has never stopped anyone either!! Oh and I've sold it 'cos it was a nightmare.M5 was brilliant though- wish the E60 was as good! wink

The 5 Series have the fin aerial as standard? What sort is the police variety, whip aerial?
