Guys at work in Toowoomba reckon there a few dodgy looking unmarked police cars here. latest reported is a 300c Chrysler with the wheels, looking like a mafia staff car.
Cool??

I was up the sunney coast to day, along the new twin lanes going into Caloundra.
seen a black SS commodore ute with ricer tail lights as a unmarked cop car, had some poor guy pulled over in a skyline.

Also a black GTI Golf, saw it with a car pulled over near Morayfeild exit a few months back, and a black XR6 Turbo ute near the Sports club doing a number on another unsuspecting ricer. They really seem to like the dark coloured cars dont they.

There was a story in the news the other day, some bloke pulled over by a commodore with a flashing blue light on the dash, the "copper" asked to see the deivers licence. The guy pulled over thaught it was suss, asked the "copper" to see his badge, copper says it is in the car. "Copper" goes back to his car, pulls a U-turn and heads for the hills.

My 1970 MkII Cooper S Mini was an ex unmarked cop car. Baltic Blue with Crystal White roof. Only thing different from standard Cooper S was 1.5" SUs rather than the 1.25" jobs. Later models also got reversing lights fitted (????) and Tachos installed.

That is definately the car I should have never sold. Still wish I had it 14 years after letting her go.

yep theres a story in the open road
if an un marked car trys to pull you over your alowed to motion to the driver you will pull over up ahead where theres other people.they even give you a phone no to ring to check if thres a unmarked car working the area.

i worked night shift on road works last week .for our safety we had a couple of cops .there realy only people just like you n me they got a job to do.anyways this cop likes subies and he talked all night. told me theres 3 toyotas ,wrx ,lib.duba golf,2 ssutes ,ford ute, humber,comos n fords , one of the ss has a sic stiker the other one looks like a work ute.

I'm actually happy there are more unmarked cops in not so obvious cars. So many people doing stupid stuff these days I'd like their licenses taken away before they take me out.

I saw an unmarked car with uniformed coppers playing with radar guns on gnangara road in perth today. One of those spanking new wrx hatchbacks.

I still don't like those, though the bonnet scoop is growing on me.
Living in Canada now. Looking at all these SVXs for sale...

I saw a VW Jetta around
Yatala on the M1
Would not have known it was a cop car apart from the lights behind the grill?
