Mate sent me this a few days ago, I have to question its authenticity..... 
Seat never made a Cordoba VTI (VTI is Honda)????
There is no such thing as an Omega 3.0SRi, its an Elite or MV6...never even been an Omega SRi.....
No such thing as a Bora VTI either, its a V5.....or V6 4 Motion......
I don't think there was a VR6 Passat but not too sure......think it was badged a VR5 or V6......
what do you think

Nice one for the post Diggy, I'd not seen the one b4 so don't worry about posting it
Always good to let people know about the possibility of what the coppers could be up to, just thought it sounded like the speed camera hoaxes coz most of the badge descriptions were wrong

I don't give a rat's *** about Thames Valley police. 
Now GMP or West Yorks plod, that's a different matter!
I recommend you just assume they always have a campaign on!
