Police Ford Galaxy

[jkspoff]

I had the pleasure of driving my force's V6 Galaxy yesterday. Lights up like a Christmas tree, lights everywhere, even a secondary battery in it to operate all the gizmos. The performance was stunning for such a large lump, we responded to several 'immediate' calls in the area and I have to say its quicker than the usual diesel Astras we normally use. I've never driven the V6 Galaxy as mines a tdi, although that is quick now its been remapped to 150+bhp. The only down side was the fuel economy, after driving just under 100 miles, it had used half a tank of fuel. Back to reality next week with the usual Astra diesel. :)

I've only ever seen a Police Galaxy in Basingstoke... or should I say Boringstoke?

It was being used as a support vehicle, so tbh they might as well have used a Transit and saved some money.

Its a 53 plate mk2. Only one we have I believe, very practical for all the gear. The force has a bio-diesel only policy now for most replacement vehicles.

Here in Glasgow the police have 3 55 reg gals and if the stories are true one of them is an armed response unit :ph34r:

[Guest gooner52]

so can you post a picture :)

 

or is that not allowed

[jkspoff]

I would like to, but I have a few concerns over whether its allowed. If you do a google image search on 'police galaxy' it does show quite a few forces are using them too.

[Guest gooner52]
