They need some of these here to stop all those idiots who think they can outrun the police - too many computer games that encourage that way of thinking in my opinion!

Wow, that is awesome... Hope they don't do to those what the cops in SA did to the M3's they were given... If I remember correctly about 5 of them were written off in the first week they were given to them... :(

You say that like it's a bad thing...

UK Police have to pass additional tests/qualifications for high speed driving, etc, so I expect they'll be well up to the task.

Hey Gordo... that is true, SA cops also have special driving lessons, etc. for high speed chases, which do happen a lot that side, but that still didn't help stop them writing those M3's off because they behaved like fools...
