Police Cars!

[R2D2]

The Met have this Lambo. Kind of ironic with average speeds in the capital at 12mph!

There used to be a police MGB GT on the A22

Careful, you're showing your age there!

My grandad told me about it

Wow! what a job that bloke has, driving that car at whatever speeds he likes next to a woman like that. If it wasnt for his posture in the picture, suggesting he might bat for the other side, i'd say he was pretty lucky!

How do you know he gets to drive ?

Maybe she's the driver and he goes for the doughnuts

Pah! We British can do things with great style.

Witness the marvel of a 1920's Crossley 20/25hp Flying Squad car fitted with "wireless instruments for the capture of criminals, especially motor bandits".

Elegant or what?

Elegant or what? Well the Italian policewoman is elegant so it must be "or what".

They can't have caught them all ....

I see 'motor bandits' on the road most every day

Some great pics really entertained me ! I remember back in the 1970's when custom cars where in there prime eg jacked up capris, zephyrs with 30 inch wheels and brightly air brushed flames down the side....but what always use to get me excited where the imported american police cars with lights and sirens includedn, oh, the obligatory woolfrace wheels, and chrome side pipes ..aahhhh pleasure !!

I've read here in some daily and magazine that Police Lamborghini Gallardo is used on highway (obviously) for traffic control (speed camera on board) and also for fast transportation of body organism as medical car (in this case i belive an helicopter is faster )

Further the few cops that are allowed to drive it, have had a special course for high (very hight I mean) speed

Further, I saw mounths ago a photo of that car (or a sister) .... with a loose rear wheel ...police car was over a tow truck

I've seen one near Embankment, around Blackfrairs bridge, they've actually modded the suspension and made it higher, probably to cope with Londons appaling roads.
