Those pics confirm something I've seen and heard only as rumour.

Coppers are getting their XR6T's optioned with Brembo's (front 4-pots only) and old F6 rims (18").

We have a police hummer that goes around our area up here in QLD, the cop behind me always has Toyota Klugers, xr6 turbo's as well as lancer iirc.

Great photos guys, keep em coming...

Iv noticed in the past few weeks a few VE Unmarked HighWay Cars seemed to have ditched the aerials.

1 Green in Camden SW Sydney
1 Toxic in the Macarthur Area - SW Sydney
and 1 Bunrt Orange in Wollongong.

This has always been the biggest giveaway from a distance.
Lowered late model with tinted windows... the aerials always sealed the deal to confirm who they were.
But the 3 VE Sedans iv listed above, iv had to take a good few looks at to confirm what they are...

Anyone else noticed this ?

Local blokes have a bit of a mix, Kluger, Aurion and a VE.
Don't have to worry about unmarked where I am!!

Unmarked VE SS ute always lurking around my area in the eastern suburbs of melbourne. Always see him pulling people over.

kinksta · 29-09-2010, 06:22 PM

I cannot believe the amount of different types of stripe, colour combinations, lights, vehicles that there are.

I guess we don't have much variation here in SA, white with blue stickers.

Yeah a Dark Blue/Greyish one?

Seen him in my area twice in the last week, his not scared to give it some stick!

george7 · 29-09-2010, 09:56 PM

ye i think we are speaking about the same one. He pulled over my bro for not wearing a seatbelt as he pulled out of a carpark. He had it on by the time the cop started up the lights but he still fined him.

fat4D · 29-09-2010, 10:09 PM

I'm loving how they are getting cool number plates to go along with the cool cars, down here in the ACT there is cars with the plates RAPID then a number it's kinda cool I think

george7 · 29-09-2010, 10:11 PM

cops are the biggest hoons on the roads.

The other day a cop was stuck in a traffic jam so he just pulled a U turn over the nature strip in his ford territory and floored it down the road.

I've seen cops turn on their lights to get throguh a red traffic light then turn them off when they are through.

Just today i saw a cop on the freeway on a motorbike going about 140 down the right lane.

Agreed they look cool..Love the HEAT plates that are still floating around up here.

That one might as well be a marked car!! those LED's stand out like dog balls, even worse than the first ones with the little LED next to the plate, they should have put them in the clear part of the tail lights and the other ones behind the black mesh.

Amazing how boring these police chiefs can be.

Thanks again anymore. ? very cool ! ! !

Was a time when all NSW police cars were white w/graphics. you'd only slow down if a white car was coming, incase it was a cop. Nowadays you can't take the risk as they may be Red, yellow, blue, etc.

Yeah up till a few years ago now pretty much every single cop car in the country were white with the blue and white checker band

zdcol71 · 01-10-2010, 04:45 PM

Given some other late mail, I'd like to see these on the road.
OK, they're not cop cars, but it is law enforcement ,right???

Notice the single pipes, its a debadged SV6. Maybe it is actually a P plater cop and not allowed to drive an SS or XR6T.

george7 · 01-10-2010, 08:15 PM

today i saw an orange VE SS cop car cruising around. Lucky cops get to drive nice V8's. In america on shows like COPS, their patrol vehicles are shitheaps.

TURBOTAXI · 01-10-2010, 10:24 PM

I recently changed my units car to an I30 Turbo Diesel. Whilst I am a civilian employee, often Inspectors and Sergeants will use our vehicle. It is unmarked, but has radio, dash lights and siren.

Point is, you cant pick a police car these days, best to drive within the limits.

GMACK24 · 27-04-2013, 12:26 AM

The Massachusetts State Police have switched their 300+ vehicles over from the Ford Crown Victoria (now retired) to the AWD

Ford Explorer.

Nice eh ?

Moby Vic · 27-04-2013, 02:00 PM

Holy crap, another CVNer!

All that comes to mind is Terminator 2, I know it was not a police bike, but the shotgun was what made me think if it.

DDXR6T · 27-04-2013, 10:34 PM

All those pictures of FG Turbo/F6 patrol cars have me salivating. Much better than the VE Omega I drive daily. Not the slowest patrol car, but, a bit more poke wouldn't hurt.

TC200six · 27-04-2013, 10:47 PM

Good to see that Falcons are still being used by the QLD Police. Most of the cop cars around the Brisbane south have usually been Falcons, until the Toyota Aurion came out.
