I was working down in essex last week (Basildon to be exact, lovely place ) and saw a couple of silver police cars and though hmm thats weird, not seen any up here.

Another thing that gets me, why do police always seem to have 5 series tourers and range rover vogues? Surely there's plenty of fast cars they can have that are much cheaper? Or again is that down resale as they tend to hold their value better than saw a Mondeo ST220 estate/V6 vectra or similar?

Saw a police Evo when i was down in Essex too, bloody awesome looking thing Is it the A176 that takes you to Basildon from the M25, signposted Southend?? It flew past me going along there!
