If it was a 318 that would be great - it wouldn't catch anything

Rumour has it that police trialled the Lotus Carlton when new! Now that is one I really would not like to see in my mirror!

They would crash it on the first corner...same with a lotus carlton, same with the cossies they had....and the esprit...and the 2.8 capris..infact the only rwd car the police seem capable of keeping out of ditches is the omega- cos its slow.
Im sure this is why they now have subaru's and evos.
Good photoshop skills though..

Omegas came with safety diffs I suspect.

that's utterly fantastic!!!!!!!
i'm thinking bad boy banded steelies too, to replicate a little more police povo spec
the only reason i haven't done it to mine is that i get the feeling it'll get keyed / attacked on a weekly basis as morons will see it as a target and i don't have a garage to keep it in

when the lotus carlton was released there were a series of ram raids around the north west and the getaway lotus carlton outpaced anything the manchester met had air or land..

Belgian police used to be like this:
They still have the car, and show it on the yearly BMW event "BMW days" on Spa.
They also had a Golf GTI:
And a Porsche 911:
