Alias Timewarp

I'm a big fan of Alias, the spy show with Jennifer Garner. I think I love all the outlandish outfits and wigs she wears, it's a very tranny TV show. Anyway, we're very out of synch with the series on terrestrial TV, so have been watching it via DVD.

This week I got my hands on the Season 4. DVD. The second episode involves robbing a high security museum in London. Anyway, to cut a long story short the robbery goes slightly awry, and they have to make their escape in a London police car.

Now I know Americans think England is a little bit backward. But what the fuck is this supposed to be?

It's a bloody Mark 1 Escort!! I drove a Mark 2 escort in 1989 when I first learned to drive and it was clapped out even in those days. Is this what Americans think we drive around in all day? A state of the art 1970's style police car? I thought I had hit a timewarp and was watching an episode of the Sweeny...
