The Fiat Coupe Polizia car is now going to be used as one the fixed props in the Top Gear studio. This means we'll be able to see it every week on tele!

is it me, or does it look like some one has repainted that now?

yay!

Fantastic! They might as well smear dog s[censored]t all over it.

have a sense of humour about it JKD. your driving a car woth tops of 2k that can blow up at any second....you need a sense of humour to own a coupe

What do you mean?

My car did that exact same pose about 4-5 years ago.

I was going a little too fast on the motorway and was just going past a car in the middle lane when I noticed it was an unmarked police car. I braked rather severely and did that pose, just before I pulled across into the middle lane myself.
The unmarked car then pulled out and as it pulled level the passenger wagged his finger at me, nodded and said yes we had you, then off it went.
To say my heart was in my mouth is an understatement. If i had been clocked I would have been banned for a long time. Sometimes we just get lucky .

Do you go driving around in a death trap with a big smile on your face all the time?

Well, its taking the piss isn't it? A battered Coupe with spikes sticking out of the wheels?

i find it better to prepair for the immanent bang or explosion that my coupe is going to produce...again
[insert battery exploding post here]
there all going to go pop at some point, may as well plan and expect for it

When i went, they had the toyota pick up and a suzuki swift, all bashed up. We know the epic the toyota went through, and the swift was used for playing ice hockey with i think.
My point being, they only put cars in the studio, whcih they like!

its not taking the piss at all, it had me in stitches, its all just a bit of fun isnt it? because you sure didn't get a coupe for bage snobery.... i couldn't give less of a monkys in other peoples opinions on what i drive

It is quite a high accolade - even if its not the most dignified a coop has ever looked.
I tend to agree with MattM - they only display cars that they like.
People who know what they're on about know its gonna be a nineties classic - you can't expect top gear to be too serious about these things though

I think it looks cool in its polizia livery and its just a bit of fun, who cares about the public image the coupe has, its a FIAT so most people (more fool them) take the pee anyway just for owning one

Did i mention that I was the passenger in that car shortly before it went to Top Gear Heaven.

It was a Shed before top gear saved it
