FTO AUSTRALIA

Was along pacific highway to newcastle and witnessed 3 cars being booked by speeding. guess what car the cops are using?
Unmarked FPV F6 Typhoon! A red, blue and green! They were bright colors, luckily they have no tinted windows and i can see them in uniforms.
Witnessed the red F6 trailing a white Skyline GT35 and i was behind watching everything until the cop decided to pull him over.

Oh too bad...

That's pretty common though, especially for highway cars.

What's worse is currently in Homebush, the undercover cops are driving...
Soccer mum trucks, Santa Fe's and Territories.
They blend in all to well with the typical scenery, and a lot of people will get caught out from that.

There was a white and blue typhoon that was parked around the national park that use to hang out on the night that I would go riding my GSXR1k with ... A couple of em got caught for speeding one week so they told us where the cup usually sits, and gave us the details on the car ..

Needless to say, every time we had a cruise planned through the Natio, it was there... One week when he got none of us, he followed us down to Wollongong, and when we were at a set of lights heading home, I got seperated from the group .. So was at a set of lights, and spotted a breakdown lane to pull over in and wait ... Anyway, the cop car pulls up along side me... Starts revving his engine...

So I start revving the bike ... Lights go green, he floors it, and I pull over and wait in the breakdown lane for the group .. Stupid Cop....

who the hell rename my thread! I wrote "Skyline" GT35 and it got renamed to Big Ugly Soap Box Racer! How can this happened?

Whoever you are , grow up!

Damn, its happening again! I want to write "SKY----LINES"!!!!!!!!

It's automatically done by the Bens big penis. (Bens big penis = W0rd filt3r)

Gone are the days of the Commodores and Falcons with steel wheels. God, they were so easy to spot.

I actually spoke to someone who is a cop and he said that they are even using their own personal cars now. So it's absolutely impossible to pick them these days

Guess you just should do the right thing and you don't have to worry, as terrible as that may sound to some of us

This is one issue I never need to worry about (Yea mock me all you want you bastards! )

Find this very hard to believe mate, think they're having a lend of you.

I could give you many reasons why this would not be true, but suffice to say - calibrated instruments, insurance and reimbursement complications... there's just no way they'd be using personal cars.

You can always spot the unmarked police cars by the darker than usual tints and especially the antenna, it's usually all the way up and/or thicker than normal ones.

Not sure about the antennas, but the F6s are not tinted at all. thats why i can spot their uniforms clearly.

Think you will find that F6's are tinted from the factory mate

I always look for the lights in the windows here when keeping an eye out for mufti cops

@Mr-C I agree, I doubt any cop would ever be allowed to use their own cars. Any cars that "look" personalised or whatever would be more than likely impounded cars. Saw a Series 2 RX7 in Queenstown about 10 years ago that was a mufti, dark tints etc etc, then it saw it pull up a car and noticed it had 2 large aerials on the front and back.

Queenstown used to have a WRX police car in full regalia too, also a Blitzen Leggy. But I know that is common in Australia.

Explain the '95 pajero with flashing lights that I saw just the other day pulled up on the side of the road behind an excel, two uniformed cops talking to the driver.

Well you Queenslanders always went & did your own strange things, but down here in NSW the coppers vehicles can't be over 2 years old. After 2 years old the insurance premiums for the vehicles exponentially sky rockets. Insurance companies really dont like insuring public service vehicles that could possibly have a mechanical fatigue failure while doing 180 kmh in a chase... you'd hate to have a coppers wheel bearing seize up & cause them to slide into & kill a troop of girl guides would you?

for the SA guys, the cops are still using the standard commies, but now with the standard plates, no longer the SA GOVERNMENT under the numbers n letters.

the only thing we can use to spot them is the two extra antennas on either side of the AMFM antenna....

sneaky bastards...
