Lol, reminds me of a vintage run we were on before. Two lads had an ex Uk police car, will all the bits working and two costumes to match lol. When we came to a cross roads, they stopped got out and held up traffic for us to cross. Funny times:D

We had a Triumph 2000 in police livery in the club for a few years. Owner hired it for television work. Last year we got caught in a massive traffic jam between Strabane and Omagh. I asked a pedestrian what it was about. She didnt know but complained bitterly that the cops a few cars forward were too lazy to do anything about it.

First time ever in the Motors forum but when I saw this as a fresh thread I had to stop by... There's someone in or around RTE with a huge Cadillac decked out as the LAPD or NYPD, I can't remember which now but I think it's the former, you'll see it around Dublin particularly on the N11 from time to time, has anybody else seen this?

Hmm, there is a Dodge Diplomat going around Dublin with a NYPD livery. It works with some pizza company in the city centre.

The light bar would cause damage i'd image if the roof was folded.

There's a Plymouth doing the rounds for a promotional company on the northside.

That Renault 4 reminds me, as young lads coming back from an International Mini Meeting we crossed the border from Belgium to France. We probably should have stopped at the border crossing, but the two French cops leaning against the wall paid no attention to two Minis with alloy wheels and CB aerials, so we drove on. A mile or two down the road we got overtaken by a beige Renault 4 with 4 french cops inside, who flagged us down for a little "chat" and search of the cars.

This has been lying at the rear of a farmyard near me for a while now. I'm not sure what make/model it is.
