Nice to know they are fallible too..

Why would any police force need a VW R32? Assuming that is what it was.

[emmie]

No idea, but how funny, or not i suppose...

[anotheoldgit]

It is only a lump of metal (well it is now).

Let us hope that the policeman wasn't too badly injured.

[emmie]

i was more surprised they were lent the car in the first place, why?

[emmie]

you reckon, Mr Sheen won't put that right im sure.

[sunny-dave]

Just beyond Mr Sheen I think ...

... but T-Cut and Nilglass - will soon sort it ;)

The police need cars fast enough to catch what ever the villans are driving !
That is why they need a VWR32.

[emmie]

40 grand a pop, are you serious, our plods can't get through the bloody traffic, let alone behave like boy racers, and in one of those monsters liable to kill someone

It seems you can get Audi A3 hatchbacks with much the same top speed as the R32 for less money. This smacks of playtime for someone.

[mccfluff]

they'll fall over themselves to let the police have demo's, the contract to supply the cars must be worth a pretty penny.

I can get a high vlaue car to demo without any problems and ours is a mixed fleet

[emmie]

it's stupid and criminal,

In Germany, when I was there 20 years ago, I often saw 2 policemen driving around in a Porsche

[emmie]
