Looks well maintained! but it makes you wonder why so much has been replaced below 75k unless like you say the guy was ultra anal!


Nice one to add to the list though!!

Bloody Honda boys

[irf]

chopster, that volvo is pretty well modified, lets just say its not just running a remap. to compare a modified 2.3 turbo to a 2.0 litre n/a in a straightline, lets just say, i thought the honda done pretty well for what it is. on a track with equal drivers? wouldn't be so straightforward.


edit. oh and greg. fuck off

livery & lights

Good job the livery and lights were not blue ones ...

Simon, <with regards to the titchy plate> I predict a fine for you knowing South Yorkshire's finest

[grainqey]

lol would that be south yorkshires' finest that make a mess of their s60's when t-packing saw one today after t-packing, not nice lol!
+1 to what ben says though, my dad got done by PC keane i think it was in his american car (with slightly smaller lettering and spacing than uk spec plates)

[V70Ben]

TPAC is designed to limit damage and risk to vehicles, let alone slow down/stop the pursuit asap in a managed fashion - however, if the scrote in the stolen car fancies a scrap - trust me, the S60/V70 is more than capable of it,and tbf they always look worse than they are damage wise.

To be fair, they've just been doing their live motorway refresher training (seen them almost every morning on the M18/62 over past couple of weeks) - South Yorks do seem to do a lot of that training for other forces also, so their lads are actually quite good at it.

[grainqey]

gareth did say it looked worse than it was lol

[Tim Williams]

Was that Virgin's Brothers car?
