Unmarked plod convoy on the M25 tonight
Driving home tonight and I saw flashing headlights behind me and lots of blue flashing lights.
Pulled over and 7, yes SEVEN! unmarked cars shot passed.
They were all dark blue 04 plate cars BMW 5 series, Omega, Volvos etc
All full of blokes looking like they were on a mission.
Anyone any idea who they were, they didn't look like standard plod,
they were too old ;-)

They were probably the new trained Community Wardens - they are the ones qualified to arrest people for up to 30minutes!!
The convoy was to get them into position!

I had a very similar experience on the M25 a few weeks ago - I was sitting in the outside lane heading towards the Dartford tunnel and saw a dark BMW (unmarked) put his headlights and blues and twos on (2 cars behind).
I was certain I was due for a tug but then saw (this is the weird bit) two cars (one a dark new Volvo) in the middle lane which I'd pulled into put their lights on and shoot past as well. Makes you wonder how many unmarked cars we all pass each day...

9 times out of 10 its high pursuit training, normally performed during the middle of the night. Can not say any further but for those between M25 Junc 21 through to 31 look out for the Burgundy Estate Octavia RSV.
