Yeah, I got to say the cop in werribee who drives that turbo is a bit of a pric..... He pulls everyone over, not for any good reason either.

Yup, he's already got a reputation in Hoppers/Werribee as a hard case.
Just be on the look out for a toxic BF Xr6 ute now too.. it does the Old Geelong Rd cruise in peak hour a lot ... seems to have a thing for lowered Commys with P Plates. Wouldn't be surprised if its the same officer.

Thumbs down

it's great to see my tax dollars spent on 17's, spoilers, driving lights, leather stiched seats and all the rest of the extra ***** that comes with an XR6 that is completely useless for actually fighting crime. Does the fuzz really need to spend all the extra money over a standard falcon? When are they gonna need more power than that already gives you?

I think they choose XRs and SS for their superior resale.

Are they getting around in utes now too....... I'm all for people getting done for dangerous stupidity but for those of us doing nothing wrong (apart from driving moded cars) its a bit harsh...... I live in werribee and I used to get hell in when I owned my moded AU series 3.

Last year I stopped for a break at Horsham and a young cop (well, they all look young to me these days!!) pulled up to have a chat. He was in an XR8 which surprised me (don't see it in SA) and all he wanted to do was chat about my GT. Can't believe they waste the money they take off me (taxes) for cars like these - bit strange in my opinion!!! He wanted to ask how she went to compare to his - I suggested a test on the open road....he was cute, coy and said he'd love to .....but couldn't. Enjoy paying your taxes guys.

Cheers
GT

Do we all realise that police cars are not personal issue?

Therefore, there will be an office of 10 or more police that could all be driving that car.

Just so as everyone knows.
