[devonutopia]

[WrightyRS]

watching!!!!

[TKW]

watching!!!!

x 2 ..... although I might have missed the Octy?

Edit: Aah no. Dead cool

[MarkyMarkD]

Not watching, but recording it on the DVD recorder ... a treat for later!

[Octygone]

Didn't even have to get out of the car, the camera checks it for them and tells them if it's insured, taxed etc

[Dr Zoidberg]

The expressions on their faces when they were told that their pile of crap cars were going to be towed and crushed were excellent

[VRStu]

Not surprising really take away their cars and how else can they get home from the pub or dole office? What will they use to transport their horticutural wares around in?

[UncleRic]

Got a call from mum last night.. (ah..bless )

"Did you watch Traffic Cops? They were using one of your cars."

"Dammit.."

[Northern Numpty]

go to www.expolicecars.co.uk

They have some Octavia VRS' for sale that have been tuned to 220 by Skoda

[Burnsy]

The policeman driving it said "great performance handling and brakes".

Nice one

[ChilledBud]

Damn anyone recorder it via computer or something?

[ScoobyChris]

I caught the end of it and saw it was filmed in Hampshire :eek: Off to check the Was It You section now :rofl:

was earlier this year on M3/M27...

I know cause i tanked it from past pompy to b'mouth as a relative was really ill so supprisingly i was doing 'about 70' and then found they were filming it the next day :/

Oh and if anyone does have it on DVD for a lend would be greatful as I missed it. Was it a one off or is it a series?

It's a series I believe - yeah there was some posts about it on here when it was being filmed but the only time I've seen the Octy it was on the hard shoulder giving some Merc/BMW drivers a ticking off

I'm sure it'll be repeated at some point

Chris

[DangerMouse]

I think it's a series of 10 episodes. Probably be a year before it's repeated... BBC seem to repeat the police shows a lot less than Men & Motors and Bravo

I missed it too though :(

[888]

220bhp by Skoda!!!!

Didnt see this, mate just told me about it, was it the mk1 or mk2 Octavia?

If mk1, what are Skoda doing tuning these up and not giving us this state of tune any idea what has been done???

[cheezemonkhai]

MK1 and I beleive they are visiting Custom Code

[Sheaf]

I see the police octys all the time round here (I drive on the M27 almost every day).

Reg plate is MX05*** for a couple of them I believe. You recognise them mind.. shiny black/silver vRS comes storming up behind, you get out the way, lol.

Seen em on the hard shoulder having pulled somebody over quite often.. think they've also got a passat, a BMW X3 and I heard there was a red Evo :|

[Nigel26]

remap to get them to 220bhp more than likely...

[cheezemonkhai]

and a purple merc on the M27 too

[Leeboy]

Ohhh, I need to be careful. Regularly drive the M27 and almost certainly would go for a "little play" with a fellow vRS. Perhaps not such a good idea if there's a couple of PCs sat in the car behind you as you demonstrate your 70-90 time with out downshifting, tee hee.....

[cheezemonkhai]

Silver and black VRs on the M27 that I have seen.

Lol if you seem me trolling in a silver TDI doing spot on 70 feel free to floor it

[Terry G]

Drove passed the silver vRS today having pulled someone. If they keep showing it on the program I can see a period where people slow down as they approach and realise the car they are about to try and race!

Weird thing is though, I drive along the M27/M3 every day and have yet to see one actually moving as opposed to rear lights flashing with some sorry person sat in the back seat being lectured...

I had the joy(!) of living in Portsmouth about 3 years ago (one of the nicer areas) and thoroughly enjoyed watching the coppers trying to be polite about the awful estates where they had fridges thrown at them.... It'd be funny if that wasn't true.

Hmm ... as I'm half high-tech and half low-tech here, I actually ended up videoing it instead of DVD recording it. Could copy video->video if you are desperate but haven't got the leads to get it onto the PC!
