where does the money come from that pays for like public relations and events and stuff that traffic police do? Like, whos paid for this fucking monstrous waste of money?

Caparo: police issue
Caparo have joined forces with the Metropolitan Police to come up with this T1 showpiece.
It's obviously never going to become a real world patrol vehicle, but the very idea is enough to fuel a good few minutes of school boy like day dreams.
Imagine how quickly you could get through town in this with the sirens blaring…
It is however real enough to be making an appearance at this week's MPH show, that's on from November 1-4 at Earls Court, London and next week on the 8-11 at Birmingham's NEC.

My mate got pulled earlier by a regular copper. He was trying to give him 3 points because his wheels stuck outside the arch, my mate told him its the tread that cant stick out of the arch and he got cocky saying if he saw him again he'd pull him over and get a traffic cop to come down

You can see it on cops with camera where they chase some ned who has nicked a metro, who manages to outrun the Police in their supercar because they can't get over bumps or potholes

Was that the one with the Mondeo ST with the big ST wheels and every time they hit a wee bump the camera was all over the fucking place?? 
The Metro fucked off over a kerb and the mondeo couldnt get the bumper up over it

Not to mention the fact it would burst into flames, spear off into a hedge and/or kill the world in the process.

Theyd hardly need a caparo in built up areas though.
Probably better suited to motorways i would of thought,or catching jet planes?

Don't be such an idiot. Its a publicity stunt. The Police haven't bought the car and they've probably paid £100 or so for someone to knock up some battenburgs for it and donated a set of flashing lights.
