Anyone remember X - cars? I wish they would repeat it.

This clip is a marked 4x4 saph (J202NNE - anyone on here own it now?) chasing a pug 205. The two plain clothes coppers are in another unmarked saph as well.

I recon the control room are looking to call of the chase as they ask the pursuing officers what car they've got and he says 'its a cosworth' (1min 30sec in) and they let them continue.

Jimboxr4x4

Thats right the saph was a J reg moonstone as I remember. They also had an RS2000. Didn't know it got burnt out though.

I remember that series. Those coppers were properly sound IMO. They all loved their cars, (They had a selection of Max Power posters up in their office) and didnt come across like a bunch of wannabees.

aduz

anyone know where i can find more of the x car series?

TrevCannon

No d/v on the saph then?

OldDan

OldDan

P.S How pissed does the bloke driving the other car look/sound?

ive got the full series on video somewhere in the loft, its sad now but at the time i only taped it because of the cossies & 2000s im sure thet had 2 rs 2000s white & black, & 2 cossies.

Martyn

They had fully marked up ones too, there are afew pics floating about but I cant find one at the mo

OldDan

That silver cav used to sit at the top of my road with a speed gun

Phil79

Oh, believe me, they are still there

They have a few naughty cars at the moment. I got tugged over by a 3.2Audi A3 a fair few months back. He properly gunned it out of a side-road behind me and, due to a spate of VAG thefts near me, I promptly put the hammer down

Suffice to say he let me off for 85mph in a 30 zone when I said that I feared for a car jacking Awesome guys, well into their cars, asking me how hard the RST conversion was on my cabriolet

Fil

cunts should have been killed in that, really could have fucked up other peoples lives, and the parents paying Ł75 comp

S1rst

100 hours community service, 12 month ban and Ł75 compensation!!!!! So the bloke gets Ł75 for his wrote off car!!!!

The victim coming off worse than the criminal again. How can that be right.

NEO™ŽŠ

I loved X-Cars!!! There were 6 episodes, and weren't and won't be released on DVD or video by the BBC.

rs shawn

Altho there are a lot of old programs been released on dvd over the last 3 or 4 years from years back that never went to video even. There's a big market for retro tv. I remember having Game On season 1 & 3 and wanted 2 so I contacted the producers...Hat-Trick...they replied they would never be releasing season 2. Now you can get all 3 in a dvd boxset

Jimboxr4x4

Can anyone convert it from video to file and host it. That would be great

Diseasel

The copper with the GMP cap sounds soooooo much like a custody SGT at my nick. I shall do a little digging to see if its him, how old is this series 10-15 yrs?

OldDan

This is a good one!

With the RS2000... "135! If he pulls out we're dead!"

rs shawn

Well it says 1995/6 on the you tube clips but 100% is was before this, I think it was early 90s.

I remember watching this when I was just getting into Fast Fords and its one of the things that really made me want to get a cossie. Ten years later I finally bought a moonstone saph!

Big G

Used to be based at Plant Hill Police station in Blackley, now over Salford/Eccles way.

Cossies, Escort RS2000's, Cav Turbo's, Rover Turbo (Battery kept dieing on that).
They were not allowed to give foot chase if they were in the cossie

I also remember Oldham Police having a J reg Cossie, pride of the fleet It went into Quicks at Old Trafford for service, and got robbed from there by a well known car theif from Oldham, he was zipping around pulling his mates over
Funny as Fook, even though I did shit myself when he pulled me

MancDave

Guys a lot of the filmage was done on around my estate in salford

But not like that anymore no where near as bad i remember the local lads taking the police saph cosworth hammering up and down and a lad fimed it all from high rise flats a good 14-15 years ago.

The actual video is still knocking about somewhere

What was worse was watching X-CARS and knowing the lads and all the area to be honest it was quite mad as fook round here 10 yrs+ ago

aduz

anybody sell me a copy of the whole series, not arsed if its on video
