Brutal in it's power delivery compared to the Senator but a better patrol car?

Each had it's virtues.

My last shift on Traffic was a night shift and at about 3.30am in the morning we got called to a burglary in progress.

Travelling north on the A1M between J61 and J62 it runs steeply downhill with a slight right hand kink in the bottom before climbing again.

In an 850 T5 with well over 130k on the clock we went through the dip at 147 mph on the vascar. It never budged.

Happy days
T5 854 ex tulliallan police college cat was first car I passed 150mph in, on a private, closed road, at 3am....honest😈

God I used to do stupid things...
