Definately not in that pursuit. Dash was nothing like a scoobs. They also used T5's in other pursuits plus the WRX's were unmarked and in the EVO chase the blue lights can clearly be seen reflecting off the surrounding area so it was a marked panda car.

The unmarked scoobies have the blue lights inside the front grill so you'd still see them reflecting

TVCU (who the prog was about) dont have T5s. The other thing to add is they have lots of covert blues on the cars which cover all around the car, which are very bright when they light up thus you can see the blue light on the surrounding area. Gone are the days of just using two tone horns and flashing head lamps.

FFS! The Impreza couldn't keep up. Live with that will you! A bug-eye Impreza is not as capable as an Evo. Fact.

I thought the program was very well put together and it's great to see the BiB's nabbing the scallys. Just a shame that the CPS or whoever makes the decision on fines etc are in no way trying to deter the thief from nicking things. That £200 fine was a joke, as was letting off the other drivers of the stolen cars.

Fu@kin' el, classic SN thread..!

FACTS:
1. I'm a happy subaru owner (got that out of the way..!)
2. The car that was left behind by the FQ300 was a bugeye WRX (driver said " when you have 300bhp v's 200 or so..!"
3. To furthur prove point 2, did you noitice the cr@py alarm sensors half way down the 'a' post..?

But no, you lot can't accept that a subaru can be beaten by anything so come out with the biggest load of B@llocks I've heard in a long time..!

What's the problem with a 215bhp car stuffed to the rafters with HEAVY equipment (inc the two bun eating occupants..) being shafted by a 300bhp car with some skinny tea leaves..? ACCEPT THE FACTS..!

Then again they also lost out off road against a 325 bm..!

Come on you lot have a reality check for once..!

Yeah, deffo was a WRX that the cops were driving when they lost to the EVO.

Sentences for the criminals was a total ******* joke though. What deterrent is that? £200 ??????? Fcukoff.

Interesting point that..........was following an unmarked car the other day which was lit up like a Christmas tree. It was even flashing all the bulbs in the rear lenses, couldn't make out when he was braking or signalling. Seemed a bit OTT and could have been confusing to other road users.

There was a T5 in the program last night. Several in fact. Doesnt really matter and as i said b4 noone expects a WRX to hold its own against an EVO. LOL at some of the responses about SN members not being able to accept defeat. Any time there is a discusion about anything the non scooby owners or scooby haters allways come away with this nonsense about how scoob owners cant admit that another car could beat theirs. The argument was whether it was a scoob or not not whether a scoob could beat an EVO. The only people who ever post these stupid comments are the non owners or **** stirrers. Get a life.

Cameraman made 3, plus all his gear.

The Scoob was never going to catch anything.

Very true..! Forgot that lot..

sgscoob:

Suggest you read the posts, mine included (ie happy scoob owner..! ). If then you still think this was only about what car it was, then what can I say..?

However, now I think about it, fact has never influenced your 'balanced' views in the past (few months of your newbie SN membership)..!

As I said moments before the thread was moved, I am refered to as a suit by workmen (I am a Building Surveyor) and in a similair fashion, policemen are referred to as Pigs.

In infant / junior school, the police would come round to give chat's to all the kids. One point they did make, was the reference to the word "PIG". Now, according to our school friendly boy in blue, the word "PIG" was seen as a compliment ??????????? His reason was, that the word "PIG" means to him, and all the other Police "Pretty Intelegent Guy". From that day on, I always refered to Police as "PIGS" Serves him right.

As usual your comments have nothing to do with the actual topic of the thread. Quality input.

I've been trying to find out when the next one's on too but no joy. There's not even a mention of it on the BBC website.
Knowing my luck i'll miss it and it'll never be repeated

I've had some inside info today: The next episode will be on when a few of the ongoing cases have been resolved in court. The BBC would rather not show "blurred" faces on the tv. There is one case, concerning a cannabis farm that may go on for months though, so that may have to be blurred.
