What plod cars have you seen
« on: 15 March 2008, 10:36:07 »
The other week i saw a blue, 52, Corsa with all the aerials on the roof & a copper in uniform driving it :o :o
I'm thinking this is an un-marked police car of sorts :-/ but why a Corsa. Ok, Joe public would never suspect a Corsa to be a plod machine, but he ain't gona catch much in it  ::)
Maybe it had a 3.2 V6 under the hood  ;D ;D
I know we've some members here that are police so maybe they could shed some light :y
Any thoughts?

some are liaison cars or CID cars

mostly here they're astra diesels, unmarked ones, the od peugeot 307, 05-07 ford focus, even a Zafira and a Ford Galaxy floatin about this area

the traffic squad based at eccles have an unmarked black MV6 (still with 17s on it), an unmarked audi A3 estate, and an unmarked black WRX impreza, so if you feel like throwing your car down the east lancs road, be warned ;D

Been thinking & about three years ago i was on the A65 going to see Mrs H (mum) & there was a red, N reg, BMW five series that had pulled up a biker. I recall thinking at the time "you crafty sods", because no one would suspect a ten year old BMW for being a plod machine, but there he was "flashing blue lights in the grill & back window"  >:(
Then in same instance you get someone that wants to play Mr plod by making their car look like a police car & pull some one over & steals their car or what ever.
If i had a ten year old car behind me with flashing blues i'de be reluctant to stop  :-/ :-/
My mate has a blue revolving magnetic light you can stick on your roof in his spares shop, maybe is hould buy it for when i wana get some where quick  ;D ;D ;D ;D
