Don't stop there Col...  Spill the beans...

There have been 80? Standard cars issued to Queensland police over the hole of the QLD area. From anything an everything. Some interesting info. I’ve yet to get onto what my local area has got… Or is getting.

Ok yes its true....

I have sourced the info.... True....!

There are more cars than you know about tho..... (other than the SS).....

There are more like 17 cars driving our roads everyday....

Everything from a magna to a corolla

pm away....:cheers:

let me know.. and i'll shove the list on a website somewhere (in china or something :cheers:)

or we could just build a database as people see them, with like model, colour, plates - won't make them effective for long ..

there is a silver xr6 floting around brisbane, personalised plates

i know for a fact that this is out there has got me and one of my mates for defects before.

i has the v8 supercar background on the plates but can't be to sure what it exactly say's.

keep your eyes open.

That would be it, I must be colour blind... it was night though.

TRY24 caught my sister speeding on sunday afternoon on the gateway motorway (near the kuraby plaza) 124 in 100 zone from 551.3m away. I was in the car with her - she picked me up from the airport. She had seen it around a few times and knew it was a coppa, but she didnt see it until it was too late..... He was uniformed.

I wish I had asked him what the personalised plates meant.

Spotted another Ford black ute with rear canopy

Reg number  RYM22  had a theme on the plates as well

Was doing hand held laser radar on Redland bay road Capalaba on Wednesday arvo 12.1.05

Two men in full uniform booking people

Did not have lights on top or police stickers down the side.

Very stealth!.

Got a ticket today from this car

rego number is actualll RYW22 Ford XR6 ute black with a canopy

Got a ticket for no front number plate

Let me off on other defects

Passanger seat out of car, explained I am in the middle of fitting new seats

Rear tyre bold on outside edges

Too low

Pillar gauges

The whole time the officer spoke to me he recorded it on tape, then got a video camera that was wedged in betwwen the passanger headrest on the seat and video my car of all the possible defects and no front plate.

I questioned him why he did all this. Reason was for court evidence incase I contested the ticket

He was quite good about the whole thing, we had a bit of a chat while standing by his car. The car last week was in Cairns mainly works out of Brisbane and is part of the State Traffic Task Force

In side the car had dash mounted radar and the video camera mounted wedged into the seat. I should have defected him for having potental projectile with the video camera

I mention the black utes have made some attention around the car scene and he mentioned some car forums, but not SAU, so it cinfirms they are probaly reading this right now

Anyway I got of ligthly $60 no points

It pays not be a smart arse.

What next?

They will have helicopters next just like USA.

I think they need D-bikes....

The bike scene has grown rapidlly in the past year or two....

On MSCIII bikes used the 80 odd skylines that attended as a moving salom event...

I see bike commonlly passing me at twice my speed... They are crazy.... Although they will hurt them selves more than myself. I still dont want a bike stuck in my passanger door....

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
