Where I live, which comes under the Thames Valley Police, I once saw one in a turquiose Rover 416.



What made it even funnier was that I owned an indentical one at the time, and they were truly awful cars - image wise and performance!

Same here in Walsall, silver Skoda and a black ST220.

Been pulled over by both cars, just to let me know that my car is a target for car thieves.

Hereford/Worcs have

Silver Octavia VRS
Blue Octavia VRS
Focus RS

and very soon

MY06 Scoob

I would say The Traffic Cops around Hereford are very good but general Plods are just "Jobs worth"

If your genuine and not taking the "P" they will just give you a good b****ing They have even met some of my M8's in scoobs on a way to a Meet, and gave the a Police escort to Ross

Mostly Omegas and Vectras, Which is great because I drive a silver new shape Omega so I stick a high-vis jacket on the parcel shelf and no bugger cuts me up

The CID guys also have Corsa's and for some reason they are all a vile non-metalic light blue colour?

South Essex used to run a few, the one I can remember was a black 5 series BMW, that was always racing up and down the A127.
