Yeah, it's all standard though! I think the brakes are from the VXR so are blue and it is a V6 turbo, hense the badge! I know one or two officers who drive with the front fogs on to make it less obvious!

Any W8 VW Bora's? They have a few of them here...

They would have Audi RS4's but they can't get the VAT back on them.

I wish! our petrol Vectra's are being replaced with 3.0 diesels that are very slow and struggle to get to 120. We will be stuck with Vauxhalls as it is too expensive to change to another manufacturer. Also they seem to think the public wouldn't want to see us in Volvo's or BMW's. We should be getting the new Insignia but have brought a big load of diesel Vectras to keep us going for a while. If you write off a petrol Vectra you will not be popular!!
I want to go to Essex police on their interceptor team and drive one of these!

Right time for a major rant!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving to work this late afternoon for nightshift, Bank Holiday traffic & all that (and yes working nights over Bank Holiday weekend & it's going to rain....heheheh )
Anyway......this afternoon I had to follow on a narrow A road with limited overtaking a........... BLOODY STEAM TRACTION ENGINE`.........hissing & pi**ing all over the ZS..........pleaseeeeee.
What the hell were they thinking. It's Bank Hoilday Friday traffic, I know shall we go for a spin in Trevor the Traction engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............loads of frustrated drivers behind me

Then:

After final overtaking the `bonfire on wheels`, got stuck behing a p*key trannie van full of old c*ap.............AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
