We were just about to cross the roundabout when a white transit came from the left handside, about 100mph. and then we braked hard, if we didn't I would've been brown bread and then behind us, we saw a flashing blue light...
An undercover police Omega Elite v6, I believe, going like the clappers chasing this transit.
This transit turned into a dead end. Pwnt.
My heart was pumping like mad!
I saw a good Police Chase once, they had a very look escape.
Basically a few years ago Geoff Hoon was the Ministry of Defence and for those who don't know, it's a high position in the government/cabinet. Anyway he lives near me and has Armed Security Guards etc.
Anyway some absolutely stupid Muppets stole the royal mail van outside his house not realising it was being protected by armed policemen, it belonged to the government and the mail van contained a hell of a lot of government documents, and a few boxes about the upcoming 'Budget'. The robbers where just stealing a mail van not knowing all that, they nicked it and where racing around at about 70MPH on a 30MPH road, they then realised it was full of confidential governments documents and boxes, so began chucking them out the window, one nearly hit our windscreen and nearly crashed into us. It was being chased by a Ford Galaxy FULL of Armed Policemen, they then crashed at the next corner, two of them made a short get a way but one of them was arrested by the armed Policemen. A police chopper later came and found them hiding in a bush.
They where so lucky they didn't end up getting killed or shot by the armed policemen.
those omegas are sick what the police have, and so are the vectras. i love seeing em chasing cars!
I nearly crashed into a Vectra o.o
I've seen a police chase in america. Twas in a taxi on the freeay into san francisoc and a policeman just ran out into the road to stop traffic. an suv came flying up the emergency lane (hard shoulder) tried to turn off but missed and hit the divider between the exit and freeway :l
also, i love the gmp undercover cars :] audi a4s, subaru imprezzas and a few evos
Niceeeee :)
My grandad had an Omega, twice, both of which he sold because they were too juicy.
Was it the old transit? If so then you'd be lucky to get 100mph out of them.. If it was the newer version then it would be so bad.
Why?Quote:

Maybe because a transit van going 100mph nearly side-swiped him...Quote:

I can sometimes do 100 MPH on the highway, usually if I'm passing. on the highways in New York, we have passing lanes but usually people drive normally in them, so you have to get into another lane to pass, it can get dangerous at times!
bet you couldnt do it in a transitQuote:

The blue van are annoying, i don't see them any more but in the 90's I did, only tramps drive the blue ones now days, they make so much noise :l
Have you ever actually driven one? You'd be suprised. I can easily get 100 out of my Transit on the motorway, I've hit 110 in it going down a bit of a slope on the M1.
& the below isn't strictly true either :p at work we have loads of Transits from 52 reg to 57. In the flat roofed 52 plate you can easily get 100MPH out of it, whereas in the 57 flat roofed transit you're lucky to get 90Quote:

I didn't get a chance to take moms new car out on the highway.. Maybe tonight I'll try?
