Nope, but the helicopter will though

If I ever get myself a decent criminal record later on in life you know one that you parents would not approve of - a bloody good police chase is the order of the day.

I have nearly worked it out to the T - by watching police, camera, action. work in progress actually

I will plan ahead a good route so the helicopter (unsportsmanlike cheats) get good coverage for Road Wars. if you get fed up with the Feds in the sky just remember to bring a surface to air missile - the Local Taliban in Portsmouth should be able to sort this out.

Then if this doesn't work - just remember the film Preditor - he falls from the top of the waterfall and swims to the shore. He is covered in mud and the infra-red camera can't see him - how gutted would the rozzers be now. Everyone knows that the dogs lose the scent after going in water as well

Make sure you have run flat tyres on the car or a really low DTM splitter to keep you chase going- for the stingers

All that boxing in stuff on the motorway is for weirdos high on crack - get a heavy fast car not a 1.1 Fiesta. Something built like a Sherman Tank - A Sherman Tank would do fine actually as a gettaway vehicle.

When you have had enough or you nearly out of fuel just calmly get out and go into an NCP or your local shopping centre and mingle LoL

any other good suggestions

a mate of mine used to work at the ovlov dealer in havant and he said that the marked t5 estate cars had a totally standard engine, but they had stiffer anti-roll bars and springs fitted at the factory.. in fact iirc that is how he 'obtained' an uprated arb for his s40

any other good suggestions

Just visit the local Pay 'n' Spray

This is one thing i scream at the tv, you know when they stop in any town they just run down the high street past many shopping centres, why dont they just run inside take off their top or swap with a mate and then calmly walk back out of the shop and then jump on a bus

I had one in my younger and lets say less considerate days, before the Heli days, I think the officer driving was a bit miffed as I did outrun them with a flat tyre, only got caught as I was as the court summary stated "alighting the car" anyway the whole thing was out of character for me and it was a silly choice in the first place but I panic'd at the time as I'd only done it because I had to be somewhere and I couldn't get a cab firm to answer the phone when I got home from the pub, so like a peanut I took the car out, something I'd never have done sober, anyway it ended up with 2 bent pepperpots 2 dead tyres and a fine as I was 1 mill under the limit once breathalysed, but because of the chase I got hauled in for another charge, and as you probably can tell it was a mix of woman trouble and generally feeling ppl were taking liberties at the time that sent me off in the I don't care tangent, never owned another V6 Ford since.

Last month a unmarked Scooby STI flew past me with the lights flashing away. I wondered if that was standard?? It was going far too quick for me to catch him up to ask him:rofl:

A work mate bought a Rover once that had just retired from life from the traffic police force. It was quite quick indeed, but something went on it 6months later & the mechanic who looked at it said it needed to go a more specialised garage as its been moddified quite substantially.

Not quite a sherman but - YouTube - Runaway Stolen Tank Police Chase San Diego

this is more like it

YouTube - South Africa Police Pursuit

It's no fun unless there's a gun (pointed at you).

Otherwise you'd be better with some risk free chasing - YouTube - Neg's Urban Sports - Urban sprinting

That was better than watching James Bond.

Or a spot of bowling... not sure I could cope with the corsa tho.. clicky..

Banana-man, ref the low suspension, It's the doughnuts...

I've just bought an ex police VRS - how can I tell if it's been modified / remapped - would VAG Com tell me?

Also - are VRS's meant to run on Premium fuel?

Wonder why they only remapped the 4x4 to 185BHP ?

It's the same engine as the vRS, & a Jabba remap will take it to approx 210bhp

It's a case of "THINK OF THE DOGS ".

Or - the dog handler is not qualified - after all , qualified dog handler (extra pay ) ,possibly they can't afford the extra for a high speed doggie wagon .

After all -they've got to keep the bean counters happy .:confused:

They'll run on anything. The only difference I notice on V-power is that the idle is slightly smoother and the climb into boost seems to be flatter with less surge.

As for a remap - isn't the quickest (if not most reliable) way to get vag.com to read the level of boost it generates? I seem to remember hearing that 10-12 lbs is normal and anything significantly above that may suggest tweaking but I could be wrong

saw my first in the flesh mk2 octy vrs police car in brum city centre on friday night (I usually only see mk1's) , they look nice in full yellow n blue.

RUNNING AROUND IN LINCOLN CITY CENTRE AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE ARE TWO BLACK UNMARKED FABIA VRS'S THE ONLY IMMEDIATE VISABLE DIFFERENCE IS THE CAMERA ON THE PASSANGER DASH UNLESS THEY TAKE A LIKING TO YOU AND YOU MAY SEE SOME ALTERNATIVE LIGHT FEATURES THEVE HAD FITTED :thumbdwn:

No need to SHOUT mate :eek:

I think your caps lock key is broke

Funny story, i pulled up at the lights a while ago next to a silver MK1 VRS, identical to mine except he has some very nice stickers on (i really like them when they have the stickers on). Had a very quick chat while the lights were on red, went something like -

Me - "Nice Car"

Police man - "Yours isn't bad either"

Me - "Can i get some of those stickers"

Police man - "Yeah if you join the police force"

Me - "he he, seems like a lot of work for some stickers"

Police man - "is that your car"

Me - "Yeah of course"

Police man - "Bet ours is faster"

Me - "I wouldn't like to find out" .......then gave the car a tickle so the dump valve made a nice noise

Police man - "Very nice, still i bet ours is faster"

The lights changed and he went off very quick, did make me smile.

Whimp

Fortune favours the brave.

Crafty copper, I bet if you'd rose to it you would've got a ticket and the convo would never have happened in the paperwork.
