I have heard second hand that from now until mid November BBC South and the Police are doing a 'Traffic Cop' programme. M27 Ringwood to Cosham, M3 up to Winchester Services and the Southampton 'ring roads'.
Unmarked cars, Two Green O3 Octavias, One 05 Dark Red Mondeo, Two White Volvos and the BBC in Citreon MPV's on hire from Arriva. No official confirmation but..Keep an eye out or shine your 'S'

yeah, the emails have been doing the rounds down here and a chat on the lotus forum is head of traffic bib for hants and confirmed its true. I havent seen any signs of them as yet but have my eyes peeled at the moment. Other rumour is that the unmarked cars will be followed by a MPV (picasso has been mentionned) which carries the film crew.

James, if you're around Pompey area try and head to the Hants meet this thursday and a convoy up to the meet from Wickham square usually (10 mins from pompey) to the Hen and Chicken at upper froyle. If the weather is ok you'll be joined by at least 1 very similar looking S!

Hi Guys. Shnozz, can I interupt your invite to James 280779 and invite myself to cruise with you to the meet this Thursday. I am Southampton way. Is the Wickham Square that you meet at, the one in Winchester.
