Interesting. I really like their youtube channel though.

It's an echo chamber for hating on certain cars, basically. Their Youtube channel was okay for a while until I learnt that Kersten isn't actually acting, he really is that much of a knob in real life.

That's a pretty half-assed attempt at making it look like a police car.

It's not even quarter-assed.

It's cant-be-arsed

Just wait until you see the "lights"

Those Cherokees, once the big six was put in, were actually pretty fast.

@WOODSJeep You can put more than one image in a post. Please do this in future instead of multi posting. Thanks.

"Hmm, interesting thread. I'll look up the North Wales Police."

Whoops.

However, the armed response unit does have a pretty sweet Audi A6 Avant:

North Korea police car "It will be your last ride"

 

[JR98]

Russia's Police Interceptor

And then just a "normal" Russian Police Car

They also have Crown Vic's as well

And G Wagons

Not only that is a screenshot of a video game on the section of the forums that is dedicated for real life cars, that is also a screenshot of what quite possibly is one of the worst video games ever.

The Hong Kong police have a small set of vehicles but they tend to prefer motorbikes as you aren't going to catch the crims in the traffic there!

But they do have an armoured SWAT Unimog!

And a 6 wheeled Bomb Disposal Defender!

Its not the worst video game ever but its not as good as Need for Speed Hot pursuit, I think Driver San Francisco is the worst.

That's a discussion for somewhere else, surely?

They also have Crown Vic's as well

All Crown Vics in the Russian police are already scrapped, AFAIK. Or almost all. There was a number bought from the US in the mid '90s. So most of them were 1993 or 1994 models.

These are police cars used in Vladivostok. About 90% of all cars in this city are Japanese right-handers.

Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

Toyota Aristo V8

Toyota Chaser X100

Toyota Mark II X90

Toyota Crown Majesta UZS155 (1UZ-FE 4.0)

Nissan Skyline ECR33 (RB25DET)

Toyota Celica T200

...and the most badass thing (unfortunately, I heard it was scrapped):
Toyota Cresta JZX81 with 2JZ-GTE.

Just in time with the release of the new Ridgeline!

Say, does anyone know how heavy Mustang SSV/SSP was? I tried to use Google to find out but all I found was generic answers about all foxbody Mustangs. I'm curious because it has advertised as lightweight edition among the Mustangs of the era.

Mhm, I saw that site too. If anything, it looks like it could actually be heavier.. One owner had weighed his and claimed 3088lbs, another said 31xx.. Hence why my confusion.

 

[Sage Ages]

I would guess it would be slightly heavier than a basic V8 notchback if not around the same weight.
