Im sure i remember seing a white 3 door on another episode of police camera action.
Also on road wars they were chasing a mk4 white escort and they got to the point where the road was blocked by a bus , The escort then squeezed down the footpath, the police car couldnt fit though and he got away i think.

Seeen that a couple of times on tele, was it mercury grey or crystal blue? Put up a good chase from memory. Did it have the s1 RS turbo on it as well making some kind of dubious ovdertaking manouvere? And an nicked XR2 the makes a dramatic exit from a roundabout? I remember watching it with me old fella and him commenting it must be the 'fast ford edition police camera action'

The saph looked real was just missing the boot spoiler, had a 4x4 bonnet which helped make it stand out more as a cossie from the air.

The white XR2 IIRC was from round teeside way, it took chase off the A19 onto the A66 and then onto teeside uni, where it never made the round about, went straight over and the 2 lads legged it up the hill to the left.

Anyone remember a black 3 door being chased and filmed from the police helicopter? Kept getting sideways then pulled over and gave up.

I remember that too,video was pretty good quality aswell,felt sorry for the owner with that tool ragging it.There was also a story on either Midlands Today or Centrel News about a gang from Birmingham who stole high performance cars and ragged them in thier area while they filmed it.Remember the news showing a saph and a TVR being abused in residental area,the gang all went prison.

Just had another flashback. 3door or may have been an RS500. The owner jumped on and grabbed hold of the spoiler. No video as far as I know, but was it not featured or the owner was with his new car? Mallard green sierra I think.

I gathered that much!
Not the kind of car you'd expect to be wearing a tow-bar, wouldn't imagine they'd be any good as a tow car, fair play if your mate did it though

Default treatment of twats

well if they nicked my cossie n ragged it
as a woman who is blonde and seeks revenge where it dont hurt i would tie them to the ship and watch them sail away on a chain knowing that they would drown in pain whilst been eaten by fish and sewage fresh from dungeness
ahh just sitting and thinking about it makes me smile


and theres us trying to teach our own kids right from wronge and some parents just dont care what their kids do

The one with the tow bar? It was filmed in the north of Scotland so i wouldn't think it would be the same one.

The guys from even further north and still lives there.
