In SA the Police all drive GTI's.... :sick:
White ones. With 18' rims and some even have xeeenons.
I seen about 11 or so marked GTI's in the mothercity.

Old news 4 me.

....Not unless they look a bit 'special'. I have found that Mk4 drivers very rarely wave/smile back, so I've given up on them. Mk1 & 2's and some Mk5's are the friendliest. Modded GTI drivers are definitely the friendliest.

I always 'wave' to a Mk4/5 R32 :smiley:

I've waved/flashed/given the hazards one round for Mk5 owners and I think the response rate is about 10%.  To be honest most seem like a bunch of total n0bs who probably though the Mk3 and Mk4 were improvements on their predecessors when they came out...  I reckon the people on this forum probably represent a minority of Mk5 owners... but thats my experience.  When I am driving my Mk1 or Mk2... now thats a completely different experience.

I think it might be from West Yorkshire Police. I've seen it a few times round the east of Bradford - twice with it's blues and twos going.

Could be the same car, they've probably just moved it round so that people don't get to know it too well

Up here ACPO guidelines state cars used for persuits (marked or otherwise) should be AWD. Using a gti for that purpose is just asking for trouble :huh:
