Unmarked Corsa

Post by ShaneyB » Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:22 pm

Can't believe I saw an unmarked Corsa police car today on the A23 near Haywards Heath pull over an E46 M3 of all things :-)

Laughing so much I couldn't take a pic!

Never seen so many police in such a short space. Two vans on bridges over the A23, A fella with a speed gun on the way to Haywards Heath and, the Corsa and a black Volvo saloon on the way back to the M25.

I should have got the reg's so probably not a lot of help.

Corsa - M3 scenario was a giggle.

That section of A23/bottom of M23 is a nightmare for camera vans and marked/unmarked cars! It's the only bit of motorway that force has to deal with so they chuck the works at it....

I've been down there on an evening run and passed a camera van in one layby, then another van in the very next layby, then a marked car in a side turning after that!

Have seen Focus ST 5 door which I would expect has gone by now. Not sure what most of their fleet is these days?

Me thinks that the purse strings must be getting tight in the Police budget?
