Hi guys,

Got sent this from a mate who is part of a group that photograph police and emergency service vehicles for a hobby (hmm.. sounds like fun... not!) and was wondering if anyone else had seen it?

If not, what do you think? I think its very resembalant of the police car decals in the UK, but thats just me.

this is the special lebhunter edition:

Sexy police car

yes, that would be a brand new cop car, the plates (JKF) mean that the car has only been registered in the past 3 weeks (my new car is JKG). I'll have to post my new car soon.

Strex, that first one looks so photoshopped LOL.

I also heard a rumour from another source that the red pursuit cars are being retired?

Apparently they can't keep up the high speeds for extended periods and are having trouble catching people in WRX's flying along the Bruce highway etc. Be interesting if its true, what's next... QLD police WRX's? hehehe

The new roadside camera patrols are silver - they seem so much harder to see - almost got caught out a couple of time over the weekend :S

"Serving the Community" How gay~ must be the new domestic disturbance line.

nar i've seen that wrx cop car somewhere.. different pics of it.. I think it's in NSW somewhere. 350z cop car ftw :)

HAHAHAHA. Yeah right. Like a 160kw WRX could outrun, on a highway, a 285kw Chev engined V8 Monaro. I don't think so. FLAME AWAY f***ERS!

lol r34 GTR cop car, game over

Yeah I agree captivate... white 4wds were never a problem for me, in my 2.5 years of driving never came close. Though in the last few months of the silver/grey 4wds, there has been too many close calls.

Good move on there part.

HAHAHAHA. Yeah right. Like a 160kw WRX could outrun, on a highway, a 285kw Chev engined V8 Monaro. I don't think so. FLAME AWAY f***ERS!

if there were any corners to be negotiated, id take the wrx

also, i seen a red ba pursuit car yesterday

if its turbo ba, the cops mite be cookin

The red Monaro's in QLD were retired because the Monaro is no longer being produced by Holden. Now they are Red BA Falcon's (XR's, haven't had a good enough look to see if the are 6's, 6T's or 8's).

the cops have a few xr6t cars around, theres the unmarked one down at surfers with the numberplate HEAT

e: HEAT6 or something i think it is

yeah cos every WRX on the planet is stock

That said those Monaros are pretty f***ing quick, but the bad guys dont play by the same rules as the cops so theyre always at a disadvantage

on a completely unrelated note: hay maxe do you remember getting beeped at by some dirty looking focker in a black astra on the icb on sunday morning. hai! (it had better have been you I saw the s1 sticker)

maxe, I strongly doubt that every wrx on the planet is stock

Someone enlighten me as to what that plastic s*** is on the bonnet?

u mean the air intake?

its directly over the intercooler

no i think he's talking about on the front of all the Jap police cars

that is a good question.

oh right, it stops water flicking onto the windscreen from cars infront. usefull in persuits

Actually all Police Traffic cars are being sprayed with the red paint job from now on... whether they are the SS, Magnas or whatever else they use.

Yes the Monaros are already phased out, there is only one left and it is soon going into the Police Museum.

6L V8 Clubsports are the next police highway patrol vehicles. <-- thats a fullstop.

Apparently its an air-diffusor. At highspeed the air-drag across the roof of the car f***s with the sirens or something, so the put the reflector thing across the bonnet so the air goes up and over the roofline


At least thats what parag0ns mate in Japan said

also yeah taggs i saw ya ;)

But that's why cars come stock with wipers...?

edit: ^right that makes more sense^

Sounds like they're running fuel savers to me.

Those japanese police cars are pretty rare over there. All I saw when I was there for a year were tiny little hatchback things for police cars. Please excuse my ignorance but in Tokyo drift that guy reckons if you do over stock max speed the cops won't bother chasing you? Anyone know if this statement is more horse in a bs movie or if there is truth to that?

It is bulls***. Police chases get called off for many different reasons not just speed. There are many variables like traffic conditions, road conditions, speed in relation to the speed limit in the area, if it is a built up area or not…heaps of s***.

All ive got to go on is watching Japan street-racing/general automotive DVDs, and the general consensus seems to be that the big boys (major tuning workshops an s***) are playing with so much horsepower that theres no reason to be caught if they dont want to be. But thats coming from a very small percentage of the population who basically run the highway like a gumball every saturday night.

Ive heard from the Australians living over there that the cops are pretty lax on things like drifting etc, just breaking up the groups and telling them to move on rather than the defect/confiscation kinda thing that happens here.

Tokoyo Drift, lol.

heres one i took in turkey

Why don't cop cars ever have hub caps?

Do they opt not to buy them to save a few bucks?

Because youths back in the days used to put off prawns under the hubcaps which would heat up while the cops would drive making a pretty bad smell.

they'd fall off more like

^^
I've seen many a holden hubcap sitting on the side of the road. Our gemini hubcaps used to spin around when you put the brakes on and cut the tyre valve stem in half, letting down the tyre so we used to take them off & leave them off.

Im pretty sure I've seen bike cops in Melbourne city. I laughed 'cos they were wearing spandex too.

They don't have hubcaps cos they're pursuit rims, not the standard rims ffs...

Most fleet cars don't run the wheel covers, but if you see the cop commodore there, it does actually have hub caps (caps to cover the hubs).

Why don't they run wheel covers? They'd be smashed/lost/stolen in 5 minutes on a fleet car. On the cabs we take the wheel covers off, chuck them in the shed, spray the wheels with $2 silver spraypaint and put the wheel covers back on when the car is finished its life as a cab.
