Honestly couldn't ever understand how they were used, great car but space wasn't the best....

White F10 5 series at a checkpoint I went through earlier with the Mondeo Vignale. Would assume it's a 530d.

Yeah they’ve a few 530ds I have a photo from the m50 yesterday in convoy with bike lads. For some reason it doesn’t allow me to post the photo it says file size to big.
We wore in the van heading to something else and they tore by us in the third lane.
Decent looking machines

Last night I seen one of them unmarked Skoda octavia running on blues, very nice. 100x better lights on it than the unmarked i40s. Had maybe 3/4 sets of blues running in the front. Very visible at night for an unmarked. Didn’t catch the year of it.

I reckon they will be rolled out soon to all stations, I can understand, although know management if they role out to every station it will be the estate 1.6 litre petrols very liberal looking thing,

Thing I will say about the newer i40s, the light/siren install is a million times better. Radio/satnav is nice to have too.

On the slower point, very noticeable. Thought it was only me that noticed that. Build quality much bette tho, lighting set up and nice to have the siren toogle actually work on the horn.

The saloon rather than the estate? I only saw one which is 201 and just delivered to the district last week. Told it was one of the first in the country.

The new saloon i40 doesn’t have the satnav. Radio is great though.

There has been a black 201 saloon in Drogheda for at least a couple of months.

Replacing i30’s ?

[Deleted User]

In the mondeo era I presume there was a contract with ford to supply cars
but who supplied cars before that in late 90/00s seen pics on documentaries and looked like a fairly eclectic selection at the time
