I was blasting down the A1 South today, and theres a white UK turbo comming up behing me. I was doing about 80 to 90, pulled over to let him past, and got ready to wave, when I relised it said ECILOP on the bonnet!

It was covered in orange/yellow stripes on the back & sides. How long have the rozzers had these?? First one ive seen.

Jammy gits. Bet they couldnt believe it when their boss handed them the keys to the new panda!

 

They`ve got them in Cumbria too, a change from the Escort Cossies they used to have.

 

I am afraid they are more or less everywhere.......and watch out as some of them are not marked up as police cars!!!!

 

What a suprise to hear they are changing there spots lol!
I will not run on about them ! will save it for another time

I wonder how many scoobs theyve pulled!

I saw a lotus esprit once near the M25. Must be nice work if you can get it.

 

I suppose it depends on what turns them on

 

Hull/Humberside police have had marked Imprezas for years now, ridding themselves of the Cossies they used to use.

Seen one and got a wave and grins from both occupants as they passed me doing 75!

 

Humberside employed them for iirc the specific problem of joy riders. Scoob was in attendance with a specially modifed senator which was a mobile dog kennel.
Not quite sure how it worked, but when car thief decided to dump the nicked motor, they tended to get a bit of a savaged right arm

Not seen it for a long time now, so not sure if they still have it. Humberside Police have a very odd *traffic* policy these days, not quite on Nottinghamshire standards, but going that way. But hey, at least they don't like Gatso's either. Just look out for the blue transit vans parked at the side of roads.

the best ive seen is a porsche policecar they use for the M1. I was going down my local dualcarrageway at a far old pace when this porsche went passed. They just looked at me & grinned so i gave a thumbs up & grinned back

 

Cumbria has two, one white marked and a blue one unmarked,

I had a encounter with the unmarked one when i was running in my car, came up behind and tailed me for a mile and then floored it and went past.
I had a chat with a local dealer and he confirmed the two cars were standard apart from uprated brakes and were looked after by a north yorkshire dealer
i have had a couple of waves off the marked on every now and then

 

I've just come back from yorkshire the've got loads of em doncaster run on the A1 Skipton have them running the A59 area Northallerton has 3 Darlington has some apparently they have been practising timed responses to the major routes for blocking in bandit vehicles.When talking to my mates up north the coppers in the scoobs seem to patrol any where not just the major routes what a life bombing around the dales all day.

 

I'd be a bit worried if it said ECILOP on the bonnet .... wouldn't you

 

Hi Becky what I forgot to say was as I came back down the A1 there was one with the police colours it had pulled some guy in a pug so as we passed on the other side I booted mine I bet the copper impressed cos I saw them both look across.

 

Humberside Police have disbanded its vehicle crime squad so no more police scoobs in there colours.Rich
