My wife was waiting in her car at a level crossing this morning when four identical Subarus (she thinks they were Imprezas) with fllashing blue lights,overtook the line of waiting cars and pulled up on the wrong side of the road, facing the crossing.When the barriers opened, they pulled forward,the oncoming traffic having to give way.

The registration plates all commenced with V08 and possibly EH

The local mafia? Does anyone have an idea of who it was?

Lots of police forces are buying Subarus. You can google this. Have a look at these: www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/FEATURES/WEIRD...l

I know Merseyside and Cheshire have taken to using BMW X5s and the like. There's a police Subaru in Lancashire and Lancs police have started buying Hyundai i40s and some Chevys for their standard squad cars.

Essex Police have had the 'Scoobys' for ages.

You should perhaps report it to Hampshire police: I can't think of any genuine registration no. beginning with V08. If it was actually VO08 the Subarus would have been four years old and a long way from the Vale of Severn where V registrations come from.
