Secret Policeman - York
 

Just a heads up for anyone in York.

There is a black 5 series BMW doing the rounds in York - I have seen it twice in the last 48 hours on the A64 in Central York and out towards the A1.

Very well disguised - one aerial - index

AD59 LRU

Keep your eyes peeled or he will have you!

gota catch ya first

:norty: :lol1:

Try it then, see if he can keep up!

Les ;)

A'll have 'im in the "twisties"....

dunx

You'll be fine - it is only a 3 litre diesel.

Give it a go!

Just a 530d! If it was a 335d, it would have anything!

Steve

I should imagine a finely police tuned 530d will still catch the majority of you lot :D

its funny bcos there are sooo many of them about in London & you just need to look at them to spot them out very clearly :D a bunch of people in one car driving very slow.. actting like they own the roads (stupid a$$)they will keep on stearing at you with dirty looks untill you do or say somthing wrong.. b4 u know it blue's & 2's are on, coming at you:thumb:

...yeah, but a 535 is also only a 3 litre diesel ;)

I was eluding to a certain Cornish member of the forum. Mind you, he never mentions his car so not a bit of wonder you missed my little jape ;)

Steve

he blooming mentions his car on every other forum I know of :lol1:

Even with the giveaway 'dick wad' surfboard strapped to the top of it? :lol1:

Guys,
We've had all sorts of unmarked police cars over here in Northern Ireland.

They're very easy to spot.
no writing on the number plates
no stickers on the back window

They've all sorts of cars on the road now

Does that mean I can be a policeman?

I have no writing on my number plates and no stickers on my back window!

i hate coppers especially traffic cops they think they are above the law. im in dispute with one in court at the moment who in his own words did 102 mph in a residential area to catch up with me in my astra gsi just because i overtook him a couple of days before in what he says was a dangerous manner and he was not in a position to stop me at the time!? more likely he saw the tuned astra with a loud exhaust late at night and thought it was easy pickings for a conviction the ****1ng w@nker. my solicitor is having a field day with his statement where he admits to dangerouse driving himself lol

Good, do the fcuker and get him sacked, i hate that sort of copper, the one who thinks he is above the law!

There was one sat on my tail on Wednesday, while I was on my way to work.
Stuck on my bumper in the run up to and all round the roundabout, then on the turn off, got so close he forced me into the right hand lane of the slip road.
I didn't bite and did not know what he was until he finally left me alone and drove off.
In very small writing on the bumper was the word, Police. Jerk :mad:

Most police cars are tuned, for example the marked 5 series police cars are tuned at ricardo (seen them in shoreham) and they have twin turbo conversions so they are very rapid.

It may not even be a diesel, it may just be badged that way :lol1:

I'll goad him into chasing me onto Elvington.... then we will see who's tuned!

LOL

dunx

P.S. I hate high performance tractors.... they're too bloody quick.

Urban myth....:sleep::sleep::sleep:

Police cars aren't tuned. It would be too expensive.

Steve

Aye.

Never driven anything other than bog standard stuff.

Probably slower with the extra kit onboard.

Police cars are not tuned as there are very strict rules as to what grade driver can drive what vehicle.
For instance the first rung of the ladder (grade 5 I believe) is anything up to 114bhp. Then you go to grade 4 then 3 etc etc.
Each car has to be an exact bhp, with an exact spec. The insurance and the health and safety the government place on police drivers is massive.

My cousin is an Essex "boy in blue", who does vehicle assessment for the force, and he described mine as "mental"... the car, not me ! ( he was driving. )

LOL

dunx

P.S. When I bought my first Scoob the Humberside boys had an Escort Cosworth, with "rally" spec suspension. To cope with speed bumps, they soon bought an "s" plate turbo tho'....

rubbish -- it is well known that pc plods cars have hyperdrive and some even have a special cloaking device

especially designed to catch the poor downtrodden motorist simply "havin some fun" on the queens highway

absolute madness

You missed out 'Burger King Mode'.

The radio fails to work when we're all troughing and ignoring real crime...:lol1:

i thought it was "doughnut mode" and only available in the states

The car does not have a badge from memory. I got the engine spec from the Index Number.

3.0l diesel :)

I understood police cars were tuned but it was things like improved brakes, heavy duty batteries etc, rather than more horsepower.

Friend of mine buys ex police cars from auction runs them 12 months on the MOT they come with and then sells them on at a profit. Well serviced, high spec seats but not one has ever been tuned. Had a few with the light relay still in lol.

For the cost of covering a few holes he reckons its worth it.

Do you also have lightly tinted windows and a cops uniform and some discreet blue lights on the rear window too :D
