Just to point out a paragraph in the article:

"It added that 156 agents would be trained to drive the cars on the Bugatti racing circuit of Le Mans in west France."

Rumor was a while back that Australian cops were having a problem catching speeders 'cause they'd just drive away from the cop's cars. What were the speeders driving? Subaru WRX's. What did the cops buy to catch 'em? Subaru WRX's. :cool:

(I don't think this is actually an Australian cop car... they usually have blue and white checkers on the side)

I don't know if that is a real cop car or not, but the colour scheme is (or was) accurate. The colours change every few years, I guess the police need to keep upgrading their image everytime they do something stupid :lol:

If I remember correctly, the Lambo is used only in extreme time sensitive emergencies.

EDIT: Just read the rest of the thread.

It's obvious that the Italian police cars are the best, but I still like the Japanese over anyone elses... although I have NEVER seen a police car that resembles ANY type of sports car in Japan.
