the lambo is used in things like organ donation scenarios - ripping along the italian motorways with donor organs etc.

Donor organs still inside the donor then, I presume? Then when they break loose in a corner and impale themselves on a route sign, and the gas tank ignites, you get donor kebab! :twisted:

Tis true... they just about manage to get the cooler box into the boot (in the front so under the bonnet then!?!?!) - They also get to keep convicted criminals cars for police use..... theyve got 911s, Ferraris, Lambos (not that one, that was donated as i recall) etc

Just spotted this article, reminded me of this thread. Look like the Metropolitan police are up to it too:
640 BHP Police Car (http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/01112006/62/640-bhp-police-car-0.html)
"Criminals beware! Next time you think of speeding away from a police car, think again. This squad car packs a staggering 640bhp, does 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph! Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, this is indeed a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640."
