Just thought you might like to know, Hampshire Police have taken delivery of 3 unmarked RS Skodas - one is silver, not sure about the others. Just be aware on the A3/M27/M3 and surrounding areas around Portsmouth, Southampton, Waterlooville

I’ll check out Eastleigh Police Station as I work a Couple of doors down.
All the main Unmarked Cars are normally in there. If I get the registration number(s) I’ll post it on here!

I bet they’d had a trip to AmD

Jo Peters

Not sure if they're kitted out yet cos they've only recently taken delivery of them but thought i'd mention them just in case they are out and about already. Will post more when I find out

this is a good source of insider info - I like it.

I'll now think twice before I attempt to show a Skoda driver who's boss..LOL

Look out for the blue s series volvo too, saw it twice pulling people on the A27 between Havant and Hilsea today.

terryb

I saw that this morning too

How's the car running terry?
(a lot of the unmarked cars can be seen at the Fareham workshops at times)

Also look out for a newage silver WRX, saw it on the M27 last week, had pulled over a very pissed off looking BMW M3 driver

quicksprint

I have never seen a 'happy' M3 driver to be honest...thats what you get when you spend more money for less of a car

Hi Steve

It's running well mate - but will be running a whole lot better tomorrow - I'll pop round to see you at work next week to let you know.

Cheers

Terry

andykidman

personally i totally disagree with the comment about the M3, went in a 02 model last week and was totally blown away, i thought it was awesome and would love to own one......just couldnt ever afford it!

quicksprint

it was only a 'tongue in cheek' comment besides you spend all that money on one and they don't come fitted with indicators as standard

Update on original post.

There are 4 RS Skoda's - none of them in use yet on our roads as they are awaiting radio gear. There will be no aerials to give them away and they will be replacing the Volvo's. They will still have the camera's in front and usual set up on rear parcel shelf but that's the only giveaway. There is 1 silver, 1 black, 1 dark green/dark blue (but looks black) and not sure on the 4th yet.

UPDATE:

Also be aware of an Evo 8 and a Clio V6!!

Mate has Evo 6.. started to race Evo 8.. as Evo 8 was jeering him on.. raced the Evo 8 properly.. got in front.. looked in rear-view mirror to see blue flashing lights out of grill !! bugger!

Orcane

ScoobyLee - Isnt that classed as "Entrapment" which is an illegal practice? Any legal guru here that could clarify what Entrapment covers and if it would apply to this situation, cos Im sure the "jeering" would be frowned on if the case went to court?

I suppose it depends on what happened to your mate, and if he could prove the "jeering".

Back on topic... Ill be keeping a check out for them RS's.

WRXPete

Sadly there is no such thing as entrapment in British Law, been watching too many US cop dramas.

All the law says is you can't get them to do what they wouldn't normally do...like supply 10kgs of cannabis when normally only would deal in 8ths...but jeering them on doesn't sound too good...although if he could see them egging on, then should have seen the uniforms, since they need to be in uniform.

I saw an unmarked volvo in Romsey the other day to. Was silver, big ugly saloon thing. Giveaway was three aerials, rear blind up in aid of trying to hide the 2 small blue lights on the rear shelf.
