Peter Robinson arrived at Stormont in a moonland grey saloon. Nice to see they're still used

.........unfortunately a blue facelift Omega was also in the 'Metro' last week as the car in London with the most unpaid parking fines..............

TV Footage showing the scene where that poor police officers car was blown up in NI had a Police  Omega estate in the background.

Wonder if markyjay is fibbing about that merc he swapped it for, he lives in London

still quite a few omegas being used over here, both with the psni and as protection (armoured) cars. we get a steady supply of them.

[spacekid2009]

just goes to show what a good reliable car they are, you never see polititions and such like arriving in a chrysler 300

Could it be that the "chaffeurs" driving them may well be ex-traffic coppers who have experience of driving Omegas and are familiar with them.........

 

[spacekid2009]

could be, but somone has to make the decision to buy them in the first place

[candyman]

dont know about being ex-cops but there all big men, suited up and armed. also you dont want to have them behind you on the motor-way as they just flash and/or sound the siren to get you out of the way. what speed limit!

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Prince Charles and MPs used them too, didnt they?

Same person that makes the decision to buy them for the Police probably, also I would expect at that level that the drivers would be allowed to express a preference of vehicle and I heard the Omega was much loved by the Traffic cops so maybe they just liked them and asked for them to be used..........??

Suitable vehicles go on whats called the Home Office Approved List after testing which includes brakes, suspension, electrical load etc etc not just the 0-60 time.  Once approved, its upto the individual force what they buy, what its to be used for and how deep their wallet is, nothing much more...
