new evo police car

i know all of you are gonna say, that this is old news but it wasnt to me. lol.

yesterday whilst at work, ( driving my london bus ), i saw a new evo X police car. i havnt as yet heard of these as cop cars and my god did my jaw drop. it looked the dogs *****. given the area i was in i would imagine it was met police, but i wasnt able to get a good look due to it driving past in traffic.

just thought id share my findings. lol.

The joys of the M8 traffic?

I think the Lambo was a publicity thing as you say.

p.s was that them stopping you after seeing you take a photo at the wheel?

Yeah the lambo was a publicity stunt... just like the Lotus' back in the 90's

This grey Lamborghini Murcielago liveried as a Metropolitan Police vehicle. It has been put together by two officers from the Met's Traffic OCU and is for display use only at the MPH'06 show at Earl's Court. The £180,000 car is just on loan for the show, so they won't be able to use its 640 bhp, 6.5-litre, 211 mph performance. Because it is on loan and sponsorship was raised, it cost the police nothing.

The italians do actually use a lambo for real !!

I've just read the rest of the thread, my bad. Having a bad day.
