The image has been reversed as well. As POLICE reads the correct way, where as it should backwards unless viewed in a mirror.

Or rather it should say ECILOP, not POL   ICE ;D

Just trying to get to the bottom of it dear boy, as I knew I recognised it.  :y

Also wondering why he thought it was a Kent car, which took "them" (Kent, Mercia, Santa?) 2 years to write off? Based on 3 years given above. Despite it all happening over 6 years ago  :)  ;D

Not wanting to add fuel to this debate, but I have to agree with Tunnie and add I am not aware of Kent Police having Omega's.  Like Hampshire they tended to opt for Volvo Estates as traffic cars. :y :y
