stupid cops. wasting taxpayers money like that!

i read an article about the lotus, and apparently its purpose is to improve relations with young drivers by creating a conversation point hahah!

i think most skyline drivers would rather talk about their own cars...

when are they going to realise that the only time people speak to police officers is when theyve been pulled over, or are the victim of a crime etc? people are never going to be HAPPY to speak to police!

court case on friday! cant wait!

More like stupid idiots like you that have NFI what you're on about!!!

The cars are GIVEN to the police. They are used for high visibility and PR gatherings.

I hope you lose on Friday!

I really don't think stations would be able to afford cars like these.

I know a couple of them have bought bikes for easy access but I have never heard of them buying cars like the lotus. I wouldn't think they would have the budget for it.

I'm fairly certain that the state government paid for the rental of the Lotus...

The Lotus Exige was LOANED to the NSW Police by Lotus Cars Australia - refer to an article in Motor Magazine earlier this year

once saw a green Jimny Soft top at cronulla with police livery and once i saw a white Toyota Avensis Verso pull someone over. You will find that City police stations will use cars like the Punto and other small cars as it will be more economical and better for commuting and easier to park than Commos and Falcons.

also have heard rumours that blue mountains police had a Ferrari 360 or 355 a while back

undercover anti street drifting cop car flanked on sides by TMU. watch out for this car, they use it to infiltrate street drifts then swoop in with the others. if you see the driver, give him the finger, swear at him and punch him on the cock.

true story.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
