Hi all
The Botany Bay command based at Mascot NSW have got a new FG XR8 in Bionic Blue for the highway patrol running around that area. Looked nice but beware when driving around south Sydney.

I would think its just safer to assume that any BFII or FG T/8 is an unmarked cop car in that area.

Black Subaru WRX Gold 98-00? Mitsubishi Verada VE SV6 Mistubishi Lancer EVO 9 Sure there are more too. Not to mention the clown cars (Hwy patrol) FG XR6T

mate saw a marked Evo X somewhere in sydney the other day, took a pic on his phone.
And i agree with anakha, just assume any BFII or FG T/8 is an unmarked cop car - & VE commies, which there are several in my area constantly

I've seen a couple of unmarked PO-Lease cars on the Gold Coast.
FG XR6 Turbo VE SS VE SV6 Ute and there's a couple of 300C's running around. There's probably more, but I only notice the ones that have pulled people over or have there lights flashing. There getting very, very sneaky. |

WOW. What a massive waste of money and fuel. 300C's, EVO 9's & Hummers as unmarked cars. The Victorian, NSW and Queensland governments must have heaps of money.. Oh wait... they're all broke.. hmm. Ah well, they'll just have to entrap.. err I mean book more people to justify the expense. I have seen an unmarked VE SS Ute up here on the Gold Coast.
End Cynical mode!!!

Also I believe as they're govt vehicles they don't have to pay tax on them and can get them cheaper, so when they get flogged off they probably make a profit out of most of them.

I see more unmarked cars getting around than marked.
