I remember Wigan police's RS Cosworth getting rolled over and destroyed during a chase back in the day. Went for a look when they towed it back. Never replaced it either. What a car though?
Car insurance for a new Ford Sierra Cosworth RS (A desirable, large engined sports car) for an 18-year-old new driver was around £1250 per year. I'm currently 18 years old and insurance for a 15-year-old VW Polo with the smallest engine you can get is almost the exact same price. And I have to have a black box fitted for a year.
Agreed :) best car theft documentary ever.. they were on youtube hard to find now tho.. if anyone knows a good link for 'Car Wars' manchester.. plz send me the link thanks
I was chased a few times around Manchester of these lads on x cars team in stolen cars back in the 90s and if we had police with the same bollox today we wouldn’t have as many cheeky kids running around robbing folk when bobbys were bobbys and they had no issues giving slaps and digs out obviously there fashion choices always give them away
You're right. I just looked up A658 TLG and it's a Nissan. I wasn't confident in the narration at 3:58 as the Arna was so similar it could be easily confused with the more common Nissan. What threw me was the Alfa Romeo black wheel centre caps and the round steering wheel boss which is also typical Alfa Romeo. I guess they exchanged parts both ways.
the Sierra at 2:15 had an update on the logbook last March (2020) That must mean it's still out there, wonder who has it and what they're doing with it :D
26:02 Opel Manta Berlinetta. Although based on the Mk 1 Vauxhall Cavalier, looked more modern for longer than even later models of the Cavalier did... for some reason...! 🤔😎
was surprised to see a cage in back then realised when this programme was made remmber when they didn't have them you could kick them open not that i would have advised that then if you know what i mean lol. andy England
Anyone how to find out the date and year this particular episode was aired just that remember actually watching it and would like to would out how old I was haha
that officer on the shogun interveiw... you want garlic sauce or mild chiillie sauce on dis keebab . he works in my keebab house now in rushholme just shows ..
guy considering after 30 years you’re forced to retire from the police, he’s probably pocketing a lovely pension, mortgage free and doing that to keep himself busy/sane. I came across two retired coppers whilst on CS and they do all sorts to keep themselves busy due to retiring so young.
Never see them chased into crashes like that on police interceptors😱 back in the days before health and safety investigations etc ,plus when you got caught you got a hiding as well 🙄
That's not it though. Police are more accountable for their actions now. If a copper got in a crash during a pursuit back in the day, they can literally claim anything happened and since there's no way of verifying anything, they have to take their word for it. Now every police car has a dashcam and there's CCTV everywhere and of course, there are worse repercussions now.
The fat lad's being very liberal with the caution. It's a VERY specific piece of language that needs to be used to allow a lawful arrest. This evidence should have got them all off straightaway.
Best reality car crime doc by far. So glad I found it on here 👍
These are great to see again. None of the bullshit filler of the modern traffic plod shows.

3:51 is that an Alfa Arna?? 4:08 yes it must be, obligatory rust on the wheel arch!
+energymc22 3:58 "Nissan Cherry, in silver" but the badge on the far side of the tailgate does look like it begins with an A

Nissan Cherry Europe. Which is the same car as an Alfa Arna. A rare car even when new.

Ringing now known as cloning
Also, why is the popo car always screaming in 2nd gear? Unless it's dubbed on by the editors.
