Talking Police Scoobys.

Humberside police hav just commisioned 3 sti8's 2 white ones to be marked up and a black one for undercover work. these cars are going to prodrive for PPP and sump guards etc.
With a bit of luck these should catch some ******* in the area.

Do other forces use scoobs or r humberside out on there own?

Other forces do use Scoobs. I cannot remember where I have seen them all, but there used to be a red undercover one in Nottingham. Not sure if it is still in use now.

Hampshire used to run them as unmarked traffic cars, should have seen how a red classic died, not pretty...not so sure there isn't still a green classic running around the county somewhere...

Yuk - prospect of being "done" by a Scoob .....

I remember when various police forces (mostly the Met) bought a load of Golf VR6's (when I had one myself) - it was an eerie sight to see them flying around!

The "agencies" Phil refers too mostly seem to use Black Range Rovers and BMW 5 series around here. I had a convoy of them fly past me at about 120mph late one evening last week on the M4 .........

Wouldn't it be funny if the unmarked one was involved in an attempted car jacking!!!! wonder if the CPS would take car jacking a bit more seriously then???????

Greater Manchster has got a few bug eyes. Dont think they splashed out on PPP though. They have a blue one and a green one that I know of. Latest toy is an Audi A3 3.2 DSG.

Humberside police had a couple of escort cossies a few years back... they had been rally prept with sump guards and the lot... This was to chase scumbags over field and across curbs... Very effective too... it was featured in car wars on ITV i think...
