Undercover Subaru Sti MX58 RUV - Manchester

[Danith]

Seen it loads pullin people over by my flat on Chester Road as you come up to Deangate rail station. Just seen it spank past me on Princess Way in Moss Side and clocked the reg.

Silver one. Watch out!

 

[jesus]

There's loads knocking around Manchester centre, I know nearly all of them as I'm a bus driver around there. They have a grey Avensis in Gorton

 

[Danith]

What else? I don't drive through Gorton much (thank frig!). Seen a silver 5 series estate on M62 aswell. Where in Manc are you from pal?

 

[jesus]

I live in Bury but am in Manchester driving around for at least 8 hours every day!

I've seen (unmarked);

white Vectras (a lot)
Mercedes Vito (1 grey, 1 blue, 1 black)
5 series saloon (1 black, 1 grey - probably more)
Avensis (grey)
Hawkeye WRX (grey - this one's in the centre a lot near Piccadilly)

Probably more but I can't think. I'm into all Police stuff so pay attention a lot when I see something different on a car. Looks like they're getting rid of the Vectras though as everyone knows the fuzz use them a lot, and I've not seen one for a good while.

The Impreza, Vitos and Avensis are all cunning though! Seen them all lit up, the Vito van pulled a chavvy Corsa over right outside my depot.

 

[Silent_Scone]

hell of a lot of ST's this way.

 

[Danith]

yeah i've seen a grey wrx aswell in the centre. thought this silver one was it. must have a few of them then! they must have their work cut out anyway! get all the hero's caning up deansgate in their flash cars. im an absolute t**t driving round the centre too for cutting up etc, apologies if i've done you!
which buses do you drive? that curry mile route looks like an absolute ballache!

 

[jack_kemp]

hell of a lot of ST's this way.

Couple of golf r32's and a couple of 335i's too.

 

[jesus]

Haha yeah I was doing the curry mile on Friday night. The parking there is shocking! Tbh I drive the bus like a c**t too so I've probably cut you up a few times :rasp: I work for Stagecoach but we do the Magic Bus too. Surprisingly I've never seen the 58 plate STi, will have to look out! I know I'd prefer to have to be driving that as a job though!

 

[Danith]

yeah you bus drivers are a pain in the ass! indicator comes on and you've got about 3 seconds to cane past or slam on! parking there's a joke. why do people think they can park anywhere, even in centre of the road and its fine as long as you stick your hazards on?! pisses me off!!

 

[jesus]

Oh aye it really gets on my tits too! Never get done for it though. Stagecoach got in contact with the council at one point and said they will pay a parking wardens wage to sort Rusholme out. They refused! I'm a good driver really, as I see other people doing it badly and think AAAARRRGH!

 

[Danith]

Why did they refuse???? It's an absolute piss take! How come it's different rules there?? hmmmmmm

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, Rusholme is a joke!

 

[Jon.G]

Yeah I've had one put his lights on whist they were behind me whilst I was doing 40 in a 40. Didn't pull me, wasn't speeding so guys they were just warning me they were police. Was an empty road at 10 at night, so they might of thought I was going to go for it.

Was a silver Sti, also see a lot of unmarked skoda fabias around bolton way.

 

[sofaboy]

seen one of the vitos light up infront of me before. Very cheeky.

 

[Curtis!]

Dark blue unmarked 5 series estate on the M62 yesterday!

 

[Ridahz]

Seen a unmarked brand new silver fiesta yesterday on oxford road.

They use anything these days lol

 

[jesus]

Saw this exact bleedin' Impreza the next day! What are the chances?

They look light a right cocky pair of b******s, they were driving around Ancoats today.

 

[JD]

The Police around here all seem to be rocking around in 5 series estates and X5s now. The Volvos have been chopped!

 

[cal46]

There a 09 Plate Black S3 Sportback in Around Denton has TDI badges on the back but is an S3

 

[smit247]

I'm down princess parkway every morning and night - luckily not seen any of these recently, although I do drive past moss side so they're probably otherwise engaged. Saw a undercover BMW pull someone on Trinity Way the other week though

 

[SimonR.]

So much for police budget cuts ey?

 

[DW84]

I saw this pull over two S3's on deansgate around christmas time. They handcuffed both drivers!

 

[jesus]

Spotted a red Avensis on Kingsway with strobes flashing, looks like they have a few of these cars now.

 

[leewxm]

next time you spot them...take a pic...obviously not when you're drivin

 

[jesus]

Lol I'm a bus driver so could be a little difficult!

 

[Danith]

there's loads of em! Can't believe I've not been pulled yet. Never thought there were this many. I absolutely tonk it down the stretch from Deansgate station to my flat on the roundabout at the top of Hulme! Did it once and the Impreza had pulled someone over on the other side of the carriageway. Was a smug look from me as I belted past while he could only watch. Won't be doing it again tho!

 

[jesus]

You should have seen how I was driving home today down that exact stretch of road

 

[Danith]

what car are you driving? its so tempting to cane it down there when some nugget is in front of you not realising it's 2 lanes.

 

[jesus]

Panda 100HP. I've just fitted a BMC so it's loud! The amount of times I see that is unreal. And people who can't stick in their lane when I can and I'm in a 2.5m wide vehicle.

 

[Danith]

Seen one of those on the M60 by traf centre. Do look quite good. You not feeling the RS's anymore? You drive down there regularly? Will keep an eye out.


Just realised you mean you drive it in a bus! Don't think I'll keep and eye out and wave at buses.

 

[jesus]

Nah I usually get the bus/Met to work as it's quicker and free. Was just testing the new induction kit out haha. Mine's a blue one, I'm around the Trafford Centre in it a lot. You'll recognise mine by the reg;

 

[Neizt]

There's a few dark blue newer Corsa's around Preston! Especially around Avenham.
