Has anyone seen a blue WRX in bracknell with a stick on blue light cruising around?, i got the registration if anyone wants to know what it is but nt sure if i'm allowed to post it on here?

I've seen it on 2 occasions recently, both with and without its removeable blue light on the roof

Lookout for it if you around this way!!

That road used to be on my commute - one of the few bits where youc could make progress! Put yer foot to the floor up the hill - and then look at the fuel consumption on the trip computer

LMAO Tom. My housemate test drove my Scoob before I bought it and he used that hill to work out whether it was faster than his S3. Reluctantly concluded that it is.

TurboKitty -

I used that hill to test drive my Cavalier!!!

When I used to smoke alot in college we used to drive back and forth from BAracknell and Camberley (where I now live) and when going down that road we would lock the doors to stop the Broadmore nutters getting us if they had escaped!!

Paranoia???

Question

Sure it wasn't a fire officer? They are permitted to use lights when responding to a call.
Don't suppose you noticed how many people were in the car did you?

Doctors have green lights, not blue.

Also, certain fire brigade officers have a blue light for their personal car, so it doesn't have to be a red car.

My parents live in Crowthorne, my brother in Bracknell and my sister in Sandhurst, so knowing they have an unmarked Scoob is handy to know.

The road in question is also ideal (from the Police point of view) for speed traps - be careful guys.

I will post the reg here to save emailing everone!, if anyone wants to email me about it feel free,

The reg i saw was X848 UDL Blue WRX

It could have been a fire car or something else, all i know is that one time i saw it, it had a blue light on, and the next time i saw the same car it didnt!, I just assumed it was a police car so could be wrong but i'm not going to speed past any car with a blue light on just in case it is police!!, i was going pretty quick at the time i saw it with its blue light on so didnt get a good enough look to say how many people were in it i'm afraid

It's definately a Fire officers car. There are quite a few of us using imprezas. I had the only p1 in the country fitted with blues and sirens, and im the doc for Hampshire Fire Services tech rescue team. My old 2001 marked impreza is on the ukemergency site (in the doctor area) i was sponsored by IM for a year. (lucky me!)

Hope this clears things up!

Cheers
