I think that FG patrol car won't be out for sometime and i think they would be only xr6t as the V8 still from BA to BF stalk and them selves turning too fast etc

Yeh there were too, they were cool, can't believe i forgot about them, must be drooling over that mercedes too much. :

Yeah, these things are usually for PR/Recruitment...like the Lotus Elise and many others.

Bona-fide Category 1 HWP (that is: used specifically for Highway Patrol duties) vehicles are not that hard to spot, even if un-marked and in NSW at least: are generally always RWD sedans with the exception of the WRX/EVO AWD's and a few others. You can usually spot the lightboxes, ICV's, MDT's etc...

GD Detectives cars or general purpose stuff are not that hard to spot either - these are the 380's, Cameroids, Hilux, Mazda's, Corolla's, G6, Statesman's, utes, wagons etc. etc.

"Covert" vehicles would be used for specialist operations involving task forces or something like that and until they 'light up' or become overt for whatever reason you would not know. They could be anything from a Hiace with Joes Plumbing on the doors to a high spec Euro rocket.

Up here the Q cars are pretty much covert hwp cars, i've seen Gti golfs, liberty turbo wagons, and a 300C, would never know they are cop cars till they switch the lights on. Regular unmarked hwp are fairly easy to spot, always unmarked commos or falcons and you can easily spot the lightbar in the front window.

yep the last i knew the brackets for the MDT display is the issue once they get that out of the way should be good to go and we should see some more FG,s out on the roads

There is also anothe unmarked black VE SS with 'southern Cross' sticker on the rear window( thays sly).

Saw another marked car today, was green VE SS (with white decals as opposed to the standard black) and it had blue custom plates with RBT on them, looked ok for what it was....one of those 'H' cars.

just to expand above mentioned commodore has number plates BAL14R (last time i checked anyway)
this one on the coast me and mates find really annoying, he flew past us one day, sirens blaring (for no apparent reason) then stopped on the side of the road a few meters after the speed limit changed down

The locals here have a VZ wagon in dark blue, ud never pick it as a cop car.. Theres also a few other odd ones running around.. As for FGs qld has a few now..
