That's where I've seen it...........it's quite an old one. Apparently it's quite handy for catching the Saxo/Corsa boys when they come out to play at night, as they don't think the Polis would use (a) a Saab and (b) an oldish one

Yeah they often sit at the r/a/b up from Morrisons. Or drive up and down the road looking for speeders and boy racer types.

The cops were out on the same road yesterday with V.I. checking lorries, i imagine for tyres, weight, load security and proper diesel. They were using a marked 5 series tho.
You from in or near Stirling?

A silver Skoda Octavia RS and a dark blue VW Passat around about the M5 - M6 junction normally. Although I have seen the Octavia often in Bromsgrove and Redditch, I have also seen it ready to pounce on the northbound entry sliproad on the A444 Nuneaton/Coventry junction on the M6. And as far north as Stafford services. It's on an 04 plate, seems to get about quite a bit!

Only seen the Passat once though, having pulled someone @ A38 junc.6 M6.

A couple of them wandering around Edinburgh airport with scary looking guns about half an hour ago.

Brazillians beware.

Motorway base just off J41 of the M1 at Wakefield regularly send out a dk blue BMW 5 series estate, a burgandy Omega, a dk green Volvo estate, a new black Volvo S60/80 ? (easy to spot with the 4 aerials on the roof) and many others. I'm told they also have an unmarked Fiat Doblo van, but I have never seen this. Look out for 2 white blocks approx 2"x4" either side of the number plates. They're the LED blues
