To quote a Met Police Officer who drove 827s back when the Met used a lot of them (and later went on to own one that was sold to the TV production company who made The Bill), "You sit up on the "piggy-perch", wait for a speeder, snick it into Drive and floor the loud pedal. A second later and you're in Warp-Drive!".
Sounds about right, wasn't it about a 9 second 0-60 and about 147 topend, was a decent motor for the time
