Anyone remember that Seat Ateca R that was going around north Dublin with a Garda sticker on the boot and LEDs etc? I saw it yesterday and the sticker seems to be gone, wonder if he got pulled about it or what.

On another note too I saw a 161 beige/gold Focus hatch around Inchicore, unmarked car (I know this because two detectives jumped out of it right in front of me and chased after a group of lads who scattered) but I noticed a dealer sticker and dealer plates on it. Don't even ask me how I noticed them, but they definitely stuck out. Whats the story with that? I thought Garda cars never came with them (worth mentioning that the car had light/sirens/extra aerials and the guards driving were wearing Garda jackets)

DOCB night time patrols, or something similar to that, very sound lads to be fair! Wouldn’t be a bad gig

Some stick them on to try make them blend in more, similar to fitting the insurance and NCT holder and putting in discs off other cars.... Out of date mind but most likely a confiscated car.

Seen some of the Skoda have surrounds on them and finglas motors use to be a well used one too.

We're the Garda not give a Vectra VXR by the PSNI

Vectra VXR and OPC are the same car depending on whether it's sold in the UK or the rest of Europe. I guess it would have been branded Vauxhall and VXR if the PSNI had owned it first. But there won't be any difference other than badges.

Them OPC are nuts, great fun to be had, drove a few of the Astra's and one 06 Vectra that had a checkered owner, fun car even though they didn't handle like a scubby.....

They really need some more of these proper decent cars recession or not....

I cringe, really cringe every time I see an i30 or 40 marked up as roads policing.....

I could leave them for dead.... Yes I know the radio yada yada but just saying...

Oh I've seen the Vectra at least twice and love the sound.....

I had a vxr myself they are amazing to get speed out off, I sold it two years ago and got the mondeo ST220

Have a watch of this, Manchester police tactical contact on a stolen Nissan! And then for their chief to tweet out in support of them!

Will we ever see the this here?

Honestly that's exactly what the cars are for they are a tool and not the be all or the end of all.....

The workmen or women use the tools to get the job done and if that means ruin a vehicle to save lives then hands down that a big plus.....

PSNI officer injured after car rammed off motorway https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-52431544

And that’s an A6 could you imagine if it was a Hyundai

That Audi A6 is not even a year old

Have to say them 508 look the business, absolutely loving the styling.

Handle wise couldn't say but they must be somewhat good if armed units are now using.

Has it upgrades?

New Chevy SUV for US cops https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-chevrolet-tahoe-reports-police-duty/

I really dislike photos like this in the forum.

Here is a picture of a super model but its ok you just take the fat one home that has taco sauce dribbling down her front after a night out of drinking 12 WKD's!!! :D:D:D

In Regards to mentioned on the other thread about the army's new Toyotas I don't understand why they never buy a specialist 4x4 transits or a transporter similar to what the Germans got. It would be able to carry more troops and also fit the radio easily

Saw a 2007 Fiesta in Citywest yesterday. Poor bastards driving that, that must have the bollocks ripped out of it at this stage!

A lot of gaffa tape used to hold it together!

2006 corolla doing the beat with detectives near rathmines....
