Found this on IG. Found it funny. Hence the reason why if you see another s3 not to race it
Interceptors have all the fun out thereApparently there is an undercover RS3 on the M25 now aswell. Be careful out there!
I think I will stay out of North Surrey then.....North Surrey Police seem to have an army of these undercover, in that colour. It could be the source of where the image was taken!
They've only got a couple, shared with Sussex (Sussex and Surrey RPUs have merged).North Surrey Police seem to have an army of these undercover, in that colour. It could be the source of where the image was taken!
That's so outdated!Alway watch out for audi's, BMW's with aerials and the shark fin.

Schizophonic - looked at your signature - why didn't you just buy an S-Line?That's so outdated!
I like the car! Not sure I like how my tax money is used...Nice Surrey Police S3.
Very understated in floret. Where can I get those flashing drl's?

On high-performance cars for highly-trained drivers to use to respond to incidents and catch the bad guys? Nowt wrong with that! I'd assume heavily-subsidised by Audi too?I like the car! Not sure I like how my tax money is used...
Did you notice in the picture that all four pipes were 'sooted up' ..I reckon the car has had the exhaust valves permanently disabled.Either that or the officers like having it in dynamic mode....Nice Surrey Police S3.
Yes sure I get that but I find normally marked (fast) police cars a better deterrent.On high-performance cars for highly-trained drivers to use to respond to incidents and catch the bad guys? Nowt wrong with that! I'd assume heavily-subsidised by Audi too?
There's a reason for unmarked. However I do see your point. I've seen SA Police marked S3s, they look amazing! I'm such an Audi geek.Yes sure I get that but I find normally marked (fast) police cars a better deterrent.
The morons who're going to drive at 140Mph down a busy motorway would probably not do that if they saw a marked police car. However with an unmarked car they may get caught after a few miles being chased during which time they may cause an accident...There's a reason for unmarked. However I do see your point.

I can see where you're coming from - but the unmarkeds won't be looking for the likes of us nudging 90 in the fast lane (ahem!).The morons who're going to drive at 140Mph down a busy motorway would probably not do that if they saw a marked police car.

Of course maybe unmarked cars help to catch the drug dealers in a black SUV with privacy glass... Who knows?
Or the cynical in me thinks it helps make money by catching people driving at 80Mph in their S3 or other so called sport/performance cars...
It makes sense and I hope you're right.I can see where you're coming from - but the unmarkeds won't be looking for the likes of us nudging 90 in the fast lane (ahem!).
These cars will have ANPR and be proactively looking to disrupt serious criminality.
Don't worry, I am...It makes sense and I hope you're right.
Ditto. I've provide services to Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PADP), who are formerly S06. and boy are they balling on the tax payer penny's! From next-gen comms gear and firearms, Honda Fireblades and Yama R1's to armoured and tuned RS6's and RR-Sport SVR's.Client of mine is armed police & they have some serious cars to play with, he drives quite a monster audi personally aswell, must have allot of fun daily lol.
Police Scotland had to diversify their Motor Procurement base as of this April. This was by decree of Scottish executive. Hence why, this year you'll notice more Audi's and Volkswagen's for their performance fleet, and Peugeot's, KIA's and even Seat's for general fleet.The police get the cars dead cheap or at least they used to. .
Dumfries and Galloway a few years ago had top of range merc which would cost upwards of 40k for I believe less than 15 k .
BMW has the contract for police Scotland traffic cars and they are mostly 3 series estates ,
Police Scotland swap the cars about and the D& G unmarked are 60 plate white and black bmw s also got two 14 reg as well .
Be Careful out there .
Unfortunately the law is quite clear on this, that is illegal. Displaying blue lights front or rear on a ' civi' car is not allowed.I got accused by the police of trying impersonate them when I had blue tint on my fogs and ordered to take it off

Look at one of the pics above of the silver S3 all four tips are 'sooted' up..That to me says at least they are constantly in 'dynamic' mode..I wonder if the police tweek them And with what mods?? . Usually police tweek their road cars to give them the edge ..
