Good program last night, and everyone at work who watched it is telling me that the police have now got a car that can catch mine Not that I'd race a Police car you understand.
Turns out one of the officers driving the green scooby used to work here, I'm going to see if I can get in touch, and maybe get them to do a visit to the club on one of our monthly meets. They may have some presentation they give to groups to share with us. May even get them to take us out on some driver training
Pauleds2 from the WYIOC has taken me out before, as he's a driver from the Yorkshire Police, and a very good one too, lots to learn from them.

would be useful to get advice on legality of mods, exhausts etc in an "off the record" kind of way though - so long as it was OFF THE RECORD.

I have a friend who is traffic police and to be honest they are just like the rest of us and get pi55ed off with bad or dangerous drivers not necessarily fast drivers - there is a big difference.

i had a chuckle when he was excusing losing the evo....'you can't do anything when you're chasing a more capable car that handles better'...

I thought it was all about driver ability = trained police driver??

You describe the Policeman as the idiot and fool, yet it was you who took the decision to "race" him I know who the idiot and fool is

Spoke to mate at work who has BMW, he was driving on the M60 the other month when he came up to the blue Impreza in the 3rd lane so tried to push it and he moved over for him.
He went past and then on to 90mph approx.
Next thing the Impreza with lights on was coming up behind him. Thinking Sh*t thats me knackered he moved over and the Impreza pulled along side told him to slow down and carried on.
So not all bad!!!!

I know a copper who knows of these guys and they do occasionally entice others into a race and then pull them.
