They are just the Taipan cars, they are based at Eastern Creek but hold operations in individual LACs

I work at Eastern Creek and these 'Operation Taipan' coppers often stop in at my work late at night for a feed and a yak. they are running a lot of Brand new F6's with BOTH the state yellow number plates, as well as the white w/ black writing number plates. Most of the BF F6's had the white w/black but some had state too. the FG's i have seen more with state, but some have the white too. most of the guys are pretty cool but there are some tools :

after having a chat to one of the blokes about the cars, when they took off, he gave it the berries and was chirping the tyres between gear changes lol

anyway they look mean, and seeing them all parked up at work gives me a chubby haha and wanting to visit the police auctions in a few years!!! :

No you don't! Taipan originally had 12 F6s but 6 of those are now being used elsewhere throughout the state. The remaining 6 are pretty much being run 24/7 and apparently already have a few km on the odo.

Down in victoria I havent seen one F6 as a cop car, most of the highway patrols are VE SS's, SV6's and a few FG XR6.
