Last night I saw a red S Max tug a driver on the M20.

They also have a grey XF and a toilet soap block blue S60 down here.

I've seen quite a few 'unusual' choices ranging form X5's and Range Rovers right through to Hyundais, Corsas and Transit vans.

i had 2 of those ANPR intercepters ( the modded 330d's ) scream past me on barton bridge next to the trafford centre the other night - they were going VERY VERY VERY fast.

Turns out i caught up to them 10 minutes later - they were chasing some idiots racing drift cars, there were 6 police cars on scene when i drove past!

They were just doing their jobs, I guess.

I have spotted black 530d only once in last three years chasing somebody.

In Romford, I have seen Scooby and E90 unmarked cars.

Mart, how come interceptors have Scooby and Evo in Essex?
Pretty scary when they are parked in Basildon or on A13 sometimes.


But I have spotted Scooby and E90 (debadged) in Romford both flashing lights and making their way in heavy traffic.

They have alot of ground to cover in Essex so 'need' the interceptors as the usuals take more time, plus they do their own servicing etc. Met don't.

Essex regularly go trough Romford. The met have a traffic garage in Chadwell Heath near to you, and they have e60 525d's unmarked as well as the marked fleet. We have some unmarked cars too but nothing really decent.
