Default Undercover Cop Cars!

Not sure if these have been posted! Some pretty stealthy looking NSW pursuit cars amongst all these!

Good add not to get sucked into squirting it off the lights with a suspicious looking SS or XR6/8!

Can pick a lot of the with the small external LED lights next to the rear number plate. Gotta love the metallic light green SS with the big tattoo type sticker on the back window! I would have given any tool with a sticker like that a spanking off the lights......not now!

Can't grab te URL pic links to post a few up, but some nice looking rides in there!

The Chev badges are a new touch - we have 2 Voodoo Blue unmarked cars doing the rounds here and theyre fairly easy to spot.

Saw today in the Blue Mountains an undercover XR8 with coloured custom plates.... the plate was something like rayon1 and where a maroon colour.


Edit: Just realised what it says when your look in a mirror...sneaky!!!

Yeah, u/c are easy to spot compared to the Q-cars, Honda Accord, Subaru Liberty, GTi Golf, 300C, Hummers, Jeeps, all sorts and very hard to pick.

Maroon Subaru liberty out of the North Lakes station too. Very subtle, has a yellow hard hat on the parcel shelf along with the little emergency lights.

There's a blue XR6T with royan2 plates that I often see on the Hume Highway in Liverpool. Just about all the unmarked Fords I've seen have small blue and red LED's beside the numberplate.

That's correct - their HQ is here and they also have a Nitro GT that often tows a large trailer with ROYAN1 as the plate.

RE the VN Commodore unmarkeds - highly unlikely as I doubt any of them would pass the standards required for the Police to use them.

This is the vehicle i saw on the side of the road with the blue and red lights going....surely they cannot use strobing red and blue lights on their car?

He must double as a cop on the side as it's often used in booze bus duties and HWP in the Liverpool area, I've seen him several times and was quite surprised with the plates.

Maybe the police have outsourced. :P

Royans Transport Smash Repairs.. They hang around all the major highways looking for truck accidents / crashes.. They also have a VE International in Gold with Royans on the plate in QLD, its got a set of LED flashes on it and antennas, good tin copper cars, they must be real desperate for work to run these things on major highways all week just looking for prangs!

When the sign up payout is in the thousands for a truck stack you can easily see why they work the highways and travel 100's of k's to a truck stack.

This one is definitely driven by a cop, has all the gear on the dash, LED's in the rear and have spotted it parked at a couple of RBT's recently.

Blue XR6T.

IMHO I reckon at least one of them would have originally belonged to a "hoon", and they retrofitted the impounded car with the necessary cop gear.
It'd save them thousands of dollars.

See Sutherland 211 all the time. People still do stupid stuff in front of it though...

There are some regular u/c's down the south coast too. Can usually pick the led's in the front or rear screens, or the new 'nightriders' in the aperture.

Doens't really mean much to me though other than passing interest, or watching stupid people get done by them.

Personally I prefer to see more marked. People DO drive safely when they are around, whereas unless you are trainspotters like us most people continue to drive like idiots around them (and get done).

Carrot better than the stick, not when there is money to be made!

I wonder why SA doesn't have such an array of u/c's? Or do they and I just can't see them...

And what's rayon1 mean???

I had a Silver FGXR6T pull up along side of me in the GT here Kal, it followed me for quite a while as I pulled up at a set of lights he quickly pulled up a long side. Man I tell you 20 years a go I would have raced him in a second and then got pinged for it!!
