Default 'Steam' powered cars...

In article , Steve Firth says...

Exactly. The police want spacious, clean, ultra economical and reliable
cars with image,


No they don't. They use a variety of vehicles to suit the job being
undertaken and in some sectors they want 4WD and the ability to carry
500Kg payloads and four passengers. For others they want a car capable
of exceeding 150mph. So they won't be choosing a Prius for traffic or
armed response work.

For beat cars, they want the car as cheap as possible so if some dorky
company gives them a free or massively subsidised vehicle they will use
it no matter how crap it is.


Humberside Police has a few Fronteras for the rural work. Most of the
beat cars are PROTON PERSONAS. The area cars are the obligatory Ovlovs
and I don't know if they still have the Scoobie / RST in Hull or not.
