    A 1.6 Hyundai or Focus will do the same here if the seriousness of the call warrants such a response.

    They want to use all of their horsepower.
    Plenty of high powered x5's

    How dare trained drivers respond to emergency calls. Maybe they should use the 24hr public transport to respond to calls.

    ' trained drivers ' is the operative word, how well do our ' trained drivers ' compare with the UK forces, or are we back to 'Chief's permission' here with the cutbacks :o:o

    Those estate mondeo's are rare enough now and there must be a handful of those unmarked fiats.. Great if you want to remain 'discreet'.

    Our training would be on par. Chiefs being phased out. Driving courses running all the time.

    I assume your talking about the fiats? as I hear the mondoes are fairly bullet proof.

    I suppose the age of them is to blame aswell. 2006 so they'd be 8 years old now :o:o

    I think the i40's are great looking. It's great seeing the garda driving something different.. Go down the court house anyday of the week and it's like a ford appreciation club or something :p:p

    The reason for the Ford appreciation club as you put it is in the first sentence if your post.

    Yep, because our first priority is driving something that looks good, not something safe, reliable and up to the job. Keep buying us the cars that look good as the criminals leave us for dust.

    Just watching the Giro on Eurosport atm, the PSNI fleet of BMW motorbikes and Land Rover Discovery's look very well. When they hand over to AGS at the border on Sunday will there be any decent escort vehicles or will it be a procession of i30's and dullsville motorcycles beamed across the world on TV?

    Re:means of escape post, rubbish removal.

    The residents don't pay, they dump all their rubbish out for the kids to burn. The council then need a garda escort to remove it so they don't come under attack.

    Both were rushing to an assistance call in Mahon, one was on the South Link Road the other was on the Boreenmanna Road, one had a red light the other a green, we will never know which though.

    You sure those pictures aren't mules personal cars? I'd suggest you get the reg plates fully covered.

    One of them COULD BE an unmarked (superbly done if so)

    But the 2 in the other pic - id say they are privately owned cars for sure
