Indonesians had a policy,

to buy Mazdas for their Polici

 

[flat4alfa]

Surprised this has been posted up by the Essex contingent yet;

 

 

Not exactly shite, but how cool is that!? My dad always goes on about them, weren't in service for long, if at all, after the guys testing one crashed it and killed themselves. Error.

 

One of 2 wasn't it?  One RS200 went to Herts Police and this one to Essex.  That could be Ford Nutter Folklore though

 

The shots were taken in 1986.  Ford publicity recreated the shot 30 years later

 

The car chassis #122 wearing C829FHK here was sold privately in 1987, repaired put back on the road and apparently still with that owner, in storage.

 

A wider shot of the classic photo

 

 

with another view from the shoot

 

 

And the remake.  Might even be the same fellas !

Moroccans on the other hand have squads of Dacias

 

 

With PAVEMENT PARKING YPLAC ACTION

 

 

 

While back over in Romania, LOGAN LOVE is so great....

 

 

..there is a GTA San Andreas gameshite Logan in that livery, if you want it

 

[sierraman]

Those late mk2 Granada's look funny with the base spec steelies on.

[flat4alfa]

Relatively recently, over on Argentina, the Policía Federal and Gendarmería Nacional replaced their IKA Torinos and Ford Falcons...

 

 

...with Chevrolet's wonderful Sail and Corsa II

 

 

with occasional Ford Focus (with the arse) input and a battering ram for added seguridad:

Our local police force just bought a load of those monstrosities as pool cars... O tempora, o mores !

[mk2_craig]

That's a top quality selection of Edinburgh based police kit right there Trigger. I want to live in a world where that sort of stuff is helping to keep the STREETS SAFE.

Fantastic! I'd far rather have these than the Getz and i30s we have to put up with.

I was in a queue due to an accident on the M62 somewhere near Manchester and the first responder turned up in one of these. I'm not sure I would want to depend upon an electric vehicle of fixed range and no easy means to 'fuel' up for emergency response work.

All proper norn iron police cars.

Short brothers and Harland and Wolfe built armoured ruc landrover - called the shorland

Woop woop

 

Oops

[Faker]

Now for something a little different... How about some pics of ex-WWI armoured lancia personnel vehicles, which were bought for the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1920! Which were in service through to 1965 with the RUC! Only one survives...

[Faker]

 

That's got mk5 Tina rear lights..

That's got mk5 Tina rear lights..

 

You mean it's got Cortina 80 lights as it's a 1982 Falcon arselift

Is that a bit lowered?

[davocano]

A big dog worked out the back of this so don't run the risk of getting cuffed and stuffed in 1989.

 

[sierraman]

Those ex RUC Cortinas must have seen some action.

Armoured too!!

And I own this!!! Genuine too!!

Cauty and Drummond fucked it up at that KLF thing in Liverpool last September. The owner was unpleased.

 

https://youtube.com/watch?v=lq6XJl9xw80

I could never fathom the hate the KLF got for a time..but yeah what a bunch of uncle knobheads the clothes and the fucking antics.. they'd look hardcore doing that if they weren't dressed like rupert murdoch hosting a garden party ffs.

 

I do like the music saying that (Chill out alum with the sheep is gold IMHO)..but then again i also like the smiths and we all know what a cretin moz is these days!

 

OT soz.
