smashey

I seem to recall the traffic cops on the M6 in England driving Jaguars.

colm_mcm

be afraid. be very afraid

mondeoman

I thought they gave back the 'lancers' in favour of the Skoda.

Turner

All are still on trial.

colm_mcm

Woo Hoo! the Octavia got a mention!

qz

The cops in Scotland have X-Type Jags alright.

GAFF

The Octy RS they have is Blue, a friend spotted it (someone else mentioned that they also had a Black one on trial).
Someone else tells me they were spotted in a Orange Focus ST.

I'd say all this is rumors. The garda dont have a fecking evo...

Fraid they do (or did anyway) I had this info confirmed by amember of the traffic corp. They were testing it on the M1 but decided to go with the Skoda instead as it worked out cheaper and lets face it a Evo 9 stands out more than a tarted up Skoda (no offence to Skoda owners)

I have also heard the rumours about the Forrester and the St Focus but am still awaiting confirmation on them

ToxicPaddy

They definitely have a Forrester, but Im not sure if its the traffic corp that have it.. There was one parked on the side of the road in Clonmel on the bypas on a few ocassions with the gardai in it doing speed checks.

just keep on truckin'

All I can say is that I hope they got the Gardai some proper driver training to go with the high powered cars or it's a waste. I know over the last 10 years they've trialed a selection of high powered cars of all brands and a large number of them have been totaled......

Correct! including the couple of Escort Cosworths that were brought in during the height of inner city joyriding in the early 90s

colm_mcm

sort of ironic that they too ended up crashing cars thet they didn't own....
