Any other marque and it wouldn't have appeared in the headline. Cheap laughs stuck in the 1970s.

did you actually bother to read the story? Where was the Skoda joke?

Plenty of stories about other marques being stopped driving for recklessly.

But was the unmarked Police car also a Skoda?

Pretty sure the make of the car is just a detail in the story.

It could of been any vehicle. The article is just saying that somebody got done doing 112 in a 50. Just making a point of it to try and deter others

Yes I did read the story. Headline writers (almost always never the person who wrote the story) wouldn't put the make of the car in the headline unless that single word tells a certain story. Ferrari tells one story, Skoda tells another. I don't believe if the car had been a Vauxhall/Honda/whatever the make would've been in the headline. Anyway, why are you so bothered by my thoughts on the matter?

The other alternative is 'car' then?

If they know what make the vehicle is, they might aswel say it .
