Bell St Melbourne - saw a fully marked Holden Cruze. Quite a shock!

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

They had fully marked lancers in Sydney back in 2012, equally crap and incapable vehicle. And garden variety Lancers too (ES), not Evo.

I would have them in Hyundai Getz.
Undercover carparks were built for this very reason.

Ryan Gosling Drive movie opener, hands down best chase scene ever, a close second is the car vs helicopter scene from Nick Cage's gone in 60 seconds , 'go baby go' and NOS.

Imagine the resale on a 4 year old ex Police Hyundai Sonata. Probably be able to pick one up for 50 bucks.

The Yankees do it best. Remember driving on the interstate late at night passing through Virginia late at night . See a convoy of about 10 police cars in the rear view approaching fast. Most were Explorers and some unmarked Tauruses. A bike flies past at breakneck speed, at max rpm and the cops fly past in rapid succession at over 100mph. Looks like they never caught the bike.

That's probably about ten bucks more than what the decommissioned Falcons and Commodores have been bringing at auction...
