Lotus Exige Cop Car

[ferni]

Lotus cars has donated a brand-new Exige to the Bankstown, NSW police force. The six-month loan gives the local constabulary a head-turner that it plans to leverage in community policing projects, particularly with regard to reaching out to local youths and car enthusiasts. The thinking is that the Exige will be an instant conversation-starter with both groups, and that, in turn, will enhance the police department's credibility with them.

"We are also very conscious of environmental issues and keen to demonstrate ways of using less fuel with more economical performance cars.

Haha, wait until the find out how often you have to service it and how much that's going to cost

Lovely cars, I'd own one in a heartbeat but they're not a fleet vehicle.

great

good to see my tax money being used so wisely

[Topaz]

All those cops look to have the girth and posture of Jemery Clarkson. How do any of them fit? And they wouldn't let the young, slender 5'10" rookie drive it now would they.....

'good to see my tax money being used so wisely'

It wasn't purchased with tax payers money, apparently it was given to the police force from lotus if you read the article. THANK GOD because i was just complaining to my gf about our tax payers money going to waste as well haha.

[ctjet]

lol

still not happy about it

[Ska]

Wonder how long it will be till they are involved in a high speed pursiut and loose it or prang it, who foots the repair bill then............. my guess would be the tax payers

[gel]

All the robbers got to do is ram it and Bye-Bye cops...!
