I'm pretty sure the taxpayers money could have been spent on cars half the price but just as good- the jag must be 60K or thereabouts and the lotus is possibly the least practical car in the universe...why?!?!

I despair!

don't worry, the lotus will end up in a ditch, or the garage. The jag will be nabbed by the dci.

Funny you should mention the Lotus ending up in a ditch, a couple of our pilots took it for a blast and ended up spinning it off onto the grass, the inspector was more than a little concerned ! Your right the Lotus is a loan car !

Doesn't matter if their behind me. UK cops don't tend to do anything other than relay info. ITs whats above and infront of me that would worry me.

I wouldn't be too worried, it's a Lotus so it'll only go as fast as the AA flatbed it's on

Dyfed Powys Police had a Lotus Exige for a bit to target "Boy Racers" Lasted 2 weeks before an officer tried mounting a curb and broke the front suspension Need brains to be a copper see

Cant say that too loud as 5 of my family are officers
