Watching British Police Chase Down a Stolen 996 GT3 Is Hilarious and Sad
In the intro to Top Gear's famous cheap police car challenge, Jeremy Clarkson lampooned the rather undramatic nature of English police versus their American counterparts. I couldn't help but think about that watching this video of West Midlands police chasing down a man driving a stolen 996-generation Porsche 911 GT3. It's as sad as it is unintentionally funny.
#WATCH | This is the moment we forced a racing Porsche 911 GTS off road after a snowy pursuit.@StaffsPolice alerted us to a car key burglary in which the race-prepared car was stolen.
⬇️ See what happened when @TrafficWMP got behind him.
