as much as I hate the pigs, whwn i was chatting to one the other day.. I asked how long he had been in the job, tells me 13 years.. So I say, enjoy it? and he replies, yeah its always different, never know what will happen that day etc...my point is, it sounds interesting

Unfortunately, I had trouble getting a visa for australia, so no chance being a copper

Lewis, my mate was swayed away from being a traffic copper.... they say you always think its awsome driving at high speeds, blues and two's but the reality is that you have to attend serious accidents..... dead bodies, body parts, people in serious distress, letting the families know of the lost of there family member.... i couldn't do it....

no mate i know they use land rovers and stuff in scotland still but aperntly the artical says uk police now have the use of a cateram superlight
Weve got scoobs and big fuck off Saabs to contend with up here but I'll stick to my big blue tractor

That Caterham aint even road legal, no plates and wheels scuffed to hell. proper race car me thinks

I've sent that car at a few kit car shows before. Saw it a few months ago infact on one the the kitcar manufacture stands (not Caterham though). I don't think its a real police car, just a publicity stunt i think.

Heres another pic I found of it...

They are fast, but nowhere near fast enough to be chasing motorbikes on the motorway
