    New Police cars on M77

    Not much use to the northern peeps on here, but (robbed from another forum) the Strathclydes finest have a silver Range Rover that there now using on the M77 and other roads too! and there's a strong suggestion theve also got a Mini Cooper as well.

    I've spotted the Evo 10, fully marked and badged up by strathclydes finest, they have it for 6 months to see how they get on with it and are loving it, nobody wants the mercs or bmw's now.
    We can blame Mitsibushi, they wouldn't touch evos in strathclyde due to the service intervals but its now 9000 rather than 3000miles or something similar.

    Yup, have seen that pulling someone on the M8. They do/did have a new shape STi in black (BL57***), there's also been a silver A4/A6 estate pulling people in the city centre but apparently it's not traffics.

    There was a time when the unmarked cars were typically of a certain brand ie Volvo, VW, Merc. Now they can be anything argh! In Glasgow I've seen an unmarked dark blue Toyota Rav4 flying past on the M74 with grill lights blazing 3 months ago.

    Can't say i've seen the evo or scoobs yet though.
    no doubt they'll be about.

    I've noticed they've started to get more stealthy with the aerials too Maddogsx. I've seen the occasional unmarked car without multiple aerials. But they always have two rear mirrors but by the time you've noticed that they're right on top of you. Hard to make any of it out in the dark though.

    Also the un-marked's can be sometimes spotted as they've a camera planted on the front screen.
    Un-marked, a piece of nonsense, they should all be marked.
