reb Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 I smoked a cigarette with an officer of the law the other day and had a nosey at the computers and shit in the cab through the window. Makes my kit look like a pocket calculator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faker Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Plod over in Norn Iron definitely had a specialist vehicle unit where special vehicle testing and trials were done. An Astra Sri turbo was sourced and sent to Courtney Sport for the full package. Upgraded suspension and brakes, turbo, intercooler, pipework and mapping. It was a one off order and was specifically for traffic branch. Once it was retired from service it was sold with the entire Courtney Sport documented folder detailing all the modifications. This is the actual car… It was unmarked and virtually nothing gave it away. It had blue strobe lights and sirens obviously! Norn iron plod used to have this Focus RS too. I’m led to believe it was tweaked also. now it’s a fleet of M135 beemers with over 300 bhp as standard!!! Focus RS..

Our local constabulary, Humberside, late of Proton fame, are hooning around in assorted Vauxhalls, Peugeots and BMW's, but I have seen a few newish Volvos; so will Volvo reclaim their crown? Any competitors from the far east who could supply a vehicle which won't grenade itself? I know the Met have had Kias and Hyundais in the past.

martc Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The feds in Queensland are hooning around in Kia Stingers, which I think is an excellent choice. Mike Keating, Queensland Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner, had plenty of praise for the car. “The Stinger performed very well in all areas and we had nothing but top reports from all the field officers,” he said. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/move-over-holden-the-kia-stinger-gt-is-australias-newest-police-car/ MiniMinorMk3 and warch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
