Dutch speeders take note: the police have a new weapon in which to chase you down and write you tickets.

do the German have any M5 for Police cars?

So, now we know why they insist on putting up speed-cameras on straight, open stretches of highway where you would never be a danger to anyone but yourself...
Many Dutch motoring publications refer to the mobile speed cameras as "mobile cash registers" ... with good reason apparently.

From the look of this picture they've only photoshoped the E30 M3 away and pasted the E92 instead...

I don't know what the fuss is about. In the Netherlands you're either in a traffic jam or a average-speed check zone, so there's no-where to speed anyway 
OK, that's not entirely true -- a dutch friend with a 996 has a few secret places where he likes to go play in the earlier hours of the morning I'd better warn him to watch out for colourful M3s with blue lights sliding off of the roof
Which tuning company did that Police Porsche?? I remember seeing that in the press not to long ago
