I love the story of the cop car getting nicked cause they left it running whiste trying to catch someone.

Cant believe spenders got nicked too.

with the facelift cars there was no "police" spec door cards they used standard rainbow cloth ones, it was only the seats that were different. The cars not only had no sunroofs they had a very basic covered headlinig with a basic interior light (no delay switches). They were fitted with "police" calibrated speedos and came with no cigarette lighter fitted either.

Two men played cat and mouse with police after stealing a pounds 21,000 Ford Sierra Cosworth from the Northumbria Police compound, Newcastle Crown Court was told. It was alleged that Paul Oliver, 22, and Ian Howard, 23, both from North Shields, dodged police by listening in on the car's radio scanner, which they waved at officers as they cruised past them. The trial continues.

just found that on the net wouldnt mind seeing a pick of the north shields car

I blew the headgasket on the second day of driving , and it was booked on the ferry to Ireland that week. Never made the ferry that time but it did get nice new upgraded gaskets etc and a new hybrid turbo.

Those were the days.
