Donut shop is 5 miles away. A few runs back and forward from there. Ohh and stop off and pick up the film from a few speed cameras

Other crimes. What other crimes?

Are you aware it's illegal to question an Office of the Law? I don't make the law son. I just kick your head in when you break it.

Excuse me Sir is this your camera? Did you just point it at my vehicle?

Could outrun one of these no problem, and outrun them for longer.

1l corsas are the polices arch nemesis.

Many, many thanks

Well Maybe.... #

....it'll be quicker than the expericens I had with them...

What's that, people are running around with a knife threatening to kill someone? Ok we'll send someone around once the match is finished as we're short on officers at the moment.

Guess you get what you pay for...football clubs pay thousands per match, I mearly pay my council tax.

Just glad now under West Mercia...

Thought they were buying EVOs, and was wondering why they didn't pick up some WRXs or STIs instead.. Need more caffeine!

back in the late 80s North wales Police had a Mini 1000 saloon panda to patrol Deeside. Lovely and cute as it was it was a poor choice of motor for the area.

This motor reminds me far too much of that. Bt good to see that WMP will have it. The lying scum will have less opportunity to conduct their summary justice in those.
