TinaInTheForest 1 Posted October 29, 2012 You would notice if it was Graeme Farrar's Police car...(TOR 756H)....it stands out a bit!

consul315 180 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) You would notice if it was Graeme Farrar's Police car...(TOR 756H)....it stands out a bit! i thought the police stuff could be magnetic?? :headscratch: as others do?? but should have read properly as it says no bumpers as well, so probably another one! :cheers: Edited October 30, 2012 by consul315 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinaInTheForest 1 Posted October 30, 2012 I think that thye stripes and signage are magnetic Hans, but not sure about the light box on the roof. I think that the Police can get a little grumpy if you drive around with all the Police signs on, although I can't imagine that anybody would really think that a 40 year old Cortina was a real Police car! I'd love to try it out and see just how grumpy they got!! Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to try it out and see just how grumpy they got!! Mark Jim (littlenewt) is a local Copper & he says they've relaxed the rules now , so as long as the word 'Police' is struck through (with a piece of tape for example) they are not fussed. :thumbup: Mind you, it's the young kids that get worried as they don't know the difference between old & new squad cars - most of them can't read anyway.... :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
