Looks like a late-model Chevy Impala, something most Americans wouldn't be caught dead in, though it's less ugly than some of the other Chevy line. However, with the spotlight on the car (that's the thing above the side mirror), I'm guessing it was a cop car. Cop shocks. Cop brakes. Needs a new lighter.


The car pictured is mine.

Yup, it's a cop car (my second). Two years old and a hundred thousand on the clock. Runs pretty well though - it has a tick under load which I think (hope) is the exhaust and the discs are slightly warped (but skimmable I think).

I like unusual stuff and this is possibly the only Impala in the country.

Amusingly the second day I had it (Saturday) I came out to see the driver's window wound down. After tearing out the power window mechanism I found that the first time I had used it (to hand the ticket in at the dock gates) the cable end snapped off and the cables wound themselves around the spindle.

I found the real problem though - It had "BOSCH - MADE IN MEXICO" stamped on the motor!
