Cool

Have seen it on a number of occasions now. A dark coloured Legacy Doctor car, all striped up with lights on the top. Even saw it tanking through a GATSO with no flash Anyone knows who drives it?

You mean he went past the 160 mph mark right?

If it went through a gatso and it didn;t flash then that Gatso is not live... it would still flash but would not get done as the reg would be recongised or the driver could send the NIP back with proof off on a shout etc..

As to the 160mph mark the picture would still be taken but would be two shots of an empty road....

If it went through a GATSO, the GATSO and maybe the car would be destroyed On the other hand, If you went past it...

Depends what you class as the Gatso?

If you class it as the camera on a pole then yes you are right, but if you class it as the whole bit with camera on a pole and road markings then no

Am I digging myself out of that hole yet?

Whichever part you go through, destruction is inevitable

Would have been fun to witness - especially if it was one of the GATSO's on the M25 gantries!

Astra.. Did it have a Black driver/Doctor??? I know the car and him.. He use to park up at a met police dog centre above Bishopsgate arches.Soon to be knocked down............Its not standard!!

I do believe one of the fastest scoobs ( N0 details!!) in London was mine...............But no longer driving it.


The car is dark blue.

Me thinks this is the car that they use when HEMS (the helicopter based at the Royal London Hosptial) is broken or when the flying conditions are bad.

I call it the fastest Subaru in London cos you dont have a **** off siren to move everyone out of the way!
It is rapid though. I see it tanking up and down Lower thames st. every now and again.

if this is a green colour with red strip then me and him had some fun on the M1 late on a sunday night about two months ago. From the very bottom to J14, trading places at some very respectible speeds.
I dont think he was on call that night for sure
