Arty thats exakrry why I copped this one on the chin, that + the fact they knocked 20KPH off to be 30+ over k .....could have been a hell of alot worse off.
i can safely use the icon here, though i didn't have anyone egging me on, i was just enjoying swooshing past traffic just a little bit *too* much.
There is at least 1 black Falcon ute down here, has been pulling over a few bikes in the local twisties.....we also have a number of unmarked 4WD Landcruisers, although if you get a good look at the grill, you can see the small red & blue disco lights....I was chased by an unmarked late-model Falcon the other week, but hosed it through some very heavy commuter traffic !! 3 gear changes and a cool breeze later.....I think he gave up !

I recently saw a lowered white ford, not sure what year it was but it was old... Im talking well before the AU model ford. It had mags, tinted windows and a body kit. I got close enough to the car to see it was definitely an unmarked policecar (lights on the back shelf, equipment on the dash, and 4 people in uniform in the car).
Wendy, there's also an accord, did the ute have clarion stickers or something like that one it?? If not, there's that one too..
And a couple of Magna's.. but the best one we have up here is the Hummer

There's a couple more I can't think of atm..
Thanks Tanya. There is a Hummer!? OMG! (I have't been looking hard enough!)
No, it didn't have clarion stickers on it...... so another few to my list......

They shouldnt or perhaps even arent allowed to use P plates on the car. You only place P Plates on a car if you are a P restricted driver. So they either have a whole bunch of noob cops driving around on there P's or they are breaking the law for displaying P's. Geeesus you even get a fine if you have your P's up when your not ment to! So why are they ANY DIFFERENT ? its BS!
