Craig Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Dan, I wouldn't believe half of those. The Lambo in the UK was a road safety display at the Motor show. And the Exige is clearly taken in Australia not the UK. Trust me the best you get in the UK is a Diesel Ford. Craig
Hauptmann Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 How about Italy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gSW8p2xFMM Dan :cheers:
Craig Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 The Carabinieri have 2 marked Lotus Evoras' in Rome. Unfortunetly not for chasing bad guys but for blood deliveries.
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Well done, Dan. Just the type of post we are always hoping for on this Forum. I too, liked the German Porsche, but the little Italian town car is probably the most practical. As Craig says - most of the others are just to get some attention for the Force. Many of the South African cars are BMW's - donated by the Company. They don't last long.

Mervyn Mitton Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Christophe - I bet the Berlin Police were unhappy with their, very bent, new Porsche ? Dan - thanks - you've added a lot of good posts. Mervyn
peter monahan Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I think the RCMP Jaguar is kinda neat too! BTW, the comment about the Michigan police 'ramming' people is not far off base. Many of the cars used by the OPP (Ontario [Canada] Provincial Police) have similar front 'bumpers'. One story is that they were once used to push start broken down vehicles, but I doubt that. Think of the potential for law suits against the cops for 'ruining' a civvy car! I suspect they are for ramming fleeing vehicles off the road in extreme situations but more usually just meant to make the front end of the cruiser stronger. Cops, for various reasons, have a lot of accidents, and anything that protects cars and drivers is going to be fitted. My two cents worth! Peter
PKeating Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Anyone remember these? I am just a bit too young to have seen one in police use but I do remember Mk2 Jags and Wolesleys.
