Yellow '04 on the M40 on Sunday

[g_attrill]

I'm not an owner but I followed a nice yellow 04 reg Ultima along the M40 yesterday. It was displaying a nice PH bumper sticker (need to get one of those myself).

The owner should remember me - I was driving a chuffing great black and white Yank cop car and I was drooling heavily as I looked over when we drove alongside each other.

That was me.
Think I made out that it was a Chevy. Thought at the time that we shared the same engine if nothing else.
Is it genuine or in the style of a Chicago cop cruiser?

Was returning home to Portsmouth from the Ultima factory open day. Thankfully had left most of the rain behind from there and enjoyed a spirited drive home.

I was returning from the American Auto Club International "All Clubs" show.

It's a genuine ex-Arkansas Chevy Caprice, but currently in San Diego livery. I imported it in 2002 but had to fit it out with all the kit.

It is a '92 so it has the TBI 350 and not the Corvette LT1 which was used in the 94-96 model and was the Impala SS.

Hey Gareth
We had a little chuckle as we passed you (White Escort Cosworth) on the M1, just after the accident.......a big Yank cop car towing a caravan
Do you get pulled by the BiB when you're driving around, for a look see?

Didn't have a van on the back when I saw him.
Was I missing something or was he?

Must have been another cop car, this was on the M1 southbound around Woburn about 2ish.

That was probably Bill and Tracey, on their way back to Essex - they have a 70's Plymouth Gran Fury.

We had about five US cop cars at the event. Last year we managed to get about 12 together - possibly the most ever!

Gareth, I have a '96 Impala SS. Check out my Website... www.ihp.com And check out the local "B-Body" club... www.regionofdoom.com for lots of good info. We just had our biggest national event in Vegas. Some 500 cars (94-96 waggons and sedans) got together for a week-long event of racing and shows. Let me/us know if you have any questions about the Impala/COPrice. Our group of folks are very helpful and willing to chip in with excellent advice on mods and sources for parts, etc...
