Unmarked police cars

Post by OLD FART »

After reading Anchors adventures in the PIGMA and his rush of blood to the head when the ss ute egged him on at the lights I thought that you might want to know that one of our members has tested an XT6 Typhoon and wait for it a Ralliart Lancer and that xr goes harder than a 6 litre ss c/dore and the Lancer was noisy
H e says don't worry about the cops you see but worry about the ones you don't see
also have seen a awd blue Magna, grey Honda euro & a black XR5 Turbo
I guess the moral of this is do it on the track not on the road

Amen, you would be retarded to race on the road and I reckon you get what you deserve.

We can only hope that they're confiscated cars from people doing the wrong thing on the roads rofl

It's one thing to like going sideways or fast, but to put other people at risk while you're doing it is a different ball game.

Over here (in the UK), we just have standard Volvo T5's, BMW 3 series and Jaguars all in black. All the emergency teams that deal with terrorist nonsense have Subaru Impreza WRX thingies.

They have a blue evo X and a Silver Evo X. A Black Ute, and Silver WRX with a massive sticker on back window... the list goes on.

Just so everyone knows, police use any confiscated car as a unmarked police car now. If you lose your car to them, it will still be on the street catching people. I think it is so unfair, but it keeps us all guessing.
