If you want a really, really old episode look for the first series which was filmed in Avon & Somerset........ no Elans in it, but one of the coppers is bloody good (and young, fit, handsome, etc etc....)

A Black one (roof down) driving through Benfleet onto Canvey, decided to pursue until we got stuck in traffic and my wife jumped out and ran ahead and asked him to pull over which he did.
The car was owned by Steve who was unaware of the LEC :shock: His car was a standard SE which had only down 63k, it looked in good nick.

I'm sat in the b&b looking out of window at the Grittleton Road and see a yellow M100 drive past, 2 people. Just a very brief view so no number observed. Are you going to CC tomorrow?
