Anyone watch it? (some people at work moan at me for having it on, bus and holiday gets mentioned quite a bit!)
Drink driver crashed into the Audi a4, they replaced it with a black mk5 R32 seized from a drug dealer. Would love it if he saw that episode! :)
-
Yeah I watched it and saw them parading the R32 around, made me chuckle a bit, i did think tho, I wonder how many other cars he has in his familes names that the police cant touch tho?
Fair play on them getting it, UK is only about 15 years behind the USA stealing drug dealers stuff :happy2:
-
I watched it Al - always look out for them, great series. Thought it was a top drawer idea to bring the recovered .:R32 into the interceptor fleet - good use of materials in my opinion.
Saves the police spending £35,000 (+) on a new traffic car and recycles something that would've probably gone for £10,000 at an auction, if that perhaps?
Certainly seemed in the public interest financially and the Force surely have no negative opinion :happy2:
Staggering how that woman in the Corsa didn't kill anyone, she was h00ning it! :fighting:

I know she didn't even appear to apply the brakes at all! :surprised:
-
So she turns out to be pissed, nearly kills a couple of coppers and only gets an 18 months ban!!! :fighting: :fighting:
Nice .:R though! :laugh:

More amazed that she was taken straight to the station, collision like that I thought would have been straight to hospital. Made of tough stuff them scum bags!
Nath, the judges should really have a more realistic grasp of punishments sometimes, as earlier on the program someone was caught with no insurance, gets 6 points and a £200 fine, £200, really! What can you insure for that much, probably saved £1500 over the years by not having insurance!
And now that he has points it will cost him even more so he just won't bother!
-
Agree, either the punishment is a piss take or they drop the case due to a lack of evidence!!!
You sit there for an hour cringing at the scum bags behaviour, then at the end of the program the voice over guy goes on to tell you how most of them got away with it!!! :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

im glad they have a r32 as an interceptor car now, they are slow :signLOL:

Are you a Police Interceptor AL? :driver:
-
Was always good to see the R32 make an show!
Shame we never got to see it kitted out in the end lol Maybe next week!
-
Good show enjoy it .:R32 for free yes please
-
Are you a Police Interceptor AL? :driver:
Meant to say bus mans holiday. Stupid iPhone.
I'm not a police interceptor no, wouldn't mind it though, just a lowly response officer, get to drive a 1.9 Astra Diesel!
:jumping: :jumping: :jumping:
-
nought wrong with being a response officer. very usefull actually
im work in a police control room. so do the radio/dispatching
-
Thats what we in Notts might be switching to is the Astras. I hope we dont and get some Octavias instead with decent boot space for the kit.

Splitting hairs here - but I don't think they actually 'replaced the A4 with the R32'. Me thinks it was just convenient editing of the programme makers.
One thing they forgot to mention though, whos gonna foot the bill for the extra fuel the R32 is gonna drink over the A4 TDI? :evilgrin:

The tax payer foots the bill as always Sean :sad1:

But surely they will catch crims that much quicker saving fuel ? :-)
-
In the Veyron slaying R32 anything is possible. :wink:
-

Not if said crims have a stage 1 Eddie - not only will the Eddie leave the R, it will also outlast it the R on a tankful :P
And when they do eventually catch said crims, they wont have any space in the boot of the R to put their stash!
In all serious though, that A4 Avant v6 TDI they lost was a seriously fast machine - why do you think it was on the 'Interceptor' fleet. Standard 240PS, with a remap and some other fettling, will have it easily outperforming the R32

ROTFLMAO . . . . sweet! :jumpmove:

Did anyone see the earlier episode with the German RS4 Avant? I thought Fritz was taking the piss :booty: - wonder if he ever got a summons . . . but I thought the cops were dreaming a little though! :indifferent:
-
Yeah piss funny that was, the cops said to him, accellerate to get speed up before joining carriageway and when he booted it and joined it they moaned at each other the way he set off, funny tho in his country he would not have been breaking the law anyway its just us with our archaic speed limits.
TBH if i was a german in UK I would be driving fast too, how they gonna check his details anyway and if they issue a summons he likely gonna say "Do One!"
-
It was the way the coppers thought their Evo was a match for the RS4 - dreamers! :stupid:
-
Yeah I think they woud struggle to catch him (well they only caught him as he slowed down lol). Evo FQ320 or tuned RS4, tough choice :evilgrin:

Two Polish work colleagues were fined back in Poland for not paying the congestion charge. £4000. That was 4 years ago. The technology is in place. Dont forget driving is a privilege. Its in the cone-tract! :P
