They have Black stickered up Evo's that occasionally wait under bridges on the a13 / a12 waiting to catch people speeding to/from southend. They've pulled over a few cars from what I've seen, and they look

You obviously need to watch Traffic Cops more - one series there was a lorry full of shit, human shit that had broken down and was spilling its untreated load. The Range Rover pulled it onto the hard should  Admittedly after they got a 2nd tow-rope as the first one snapped due to being so old
Ok, Range Rovers will cope better in the snow etc than any other car - come on, Range Rovers are just handy.
On the same Traffic Cops series they have undercover Scoobies, but not the fast ones. I remember they were chasing a Evo 430 I think and they just couldn't keep up.

Brembo's are standard
The FQ's come with a big IC anyway
And they come with an HKS exhaust...
Semi slicks I find very hard to beleive... look like normal yoko's to me

It probably is a Demo car that Mitsi have lent the force. My sisters a copper and when there cars are up for renewal companies like Ford and Vauxhall lend the force a few cars for a few months. They usaually send out top of the range cars aswell!! The police Mondeo that got crashed when she was a passenger had full heated leather, aircon, ABS, Traction Control, and about 18 airbags

they had a similar evo round here, it was used for emergency call outs only to support the two undercover firearm jags they have. Last i heard it was decomissioned though due to lack of use, obviously not enough gangland shootings and getaways round here for it

Not a waste of money at all, they buy them a hell of a lot cheaper than you or i would and they are specced down to save more money. Buying a BMW/Merc etc in the first place means the resale value when they are decomissioned is also higher so they dont lose money like you think they would.
