Seen all the 5 series 530d's about London? Why does a policeman need to drive about in that when a mondeo would do the same job???? -------------

I would have thought that as persuit cars go a 530d BMW would be pretty good. Loads of mid range grunt for quick overtaking. I would bet that in real world driving conditions they would be faster than even an ST220. Also as Kbannon says, good taste ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |

Hummn i was thinking more along the lines of waste of taxpayers money! But if it wasn't spent on the cars where else would it go? Back pocket of the nearest assylum seeker no doubt. -------------

Boys In Blue, know it takes one, to catch one!!.Many force,s used to run fleets of them, very good value for the taxpayer, never went wrong.Could catch anything, and if in a crash knew it was not a prob. With referance to the unmarked cars on M40, pay MORE attention, cos the Mets have some New Vauxhall Omega,s some red, some ---.all with latest film equipment.So, you could be reading about yourself in a few weeks.

The Met now use Silver cars, this is to give them a greater resale value...

No matter how devious they get with the unmarked cars, they are far more prefferable to the masses of stupid speed cameras we have. Blow the cameras up and bring back plod I say !!!!! They look for far more useful stuff tham 10% + 2 mph. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |
