Police RS4 in Reading

Post by Lion » Tue Nov 10, 2009 1:07 pm

Several times I have spotted a dark blue, RS4 Avant on Tilhurst road. It is unmarked. I just noticed the blue flashers behind the front grill! beware ;)

When they tried to nick my car the coppper that came round said that they were about to puchase 2 RS4's for pursuit. He did say that they wouldn't be on general patrol but would be at the nick until called into action. Sounds like they have them out on the road now!!!

talking of unsual police cars, Cleveland Police are running to white Ford S-Max Zetecs! Didn't see that coming. Saw them next to a broken down vehicle on the A19 this morning along with a black unmarked Leon FR with tinted windows.

Just not fair. :evil:

Blue Focus RS with the blue lights in the grilles and pop-up sign in the back on the hard shoulder of the M25 south bound just before the M23 exit. For those not familiar with it, it's an inviting long down hill section and has a ban written all over it..be careful

pad125 - thanks for that often take the turn off the M25 for M23. You're right, it's tempting to sweep down and smoothly exit into the right hand exit lane.....

I swear they make it up. South Wales Police has just suspended a couple of officers for racing from Cardiff to Barry to try and beat their 'best performances'...any old excuse to nick any one of us mind. One rule for them and.....

I have seen that lexus it looks awesome! But quite why the Police need a £55K luxuary performance car is beyond me cant they make do with a tuned up Impreza?!

The fact they also use £60 Range Rovers is beyond me and dont get me started on the Highway Patrol officers in their £45k Landcruisers!
