Underneath, it was the cleanest car I had ever seen.Bigger brakes, side airbags, dodgy drivers seat bolster, marks on my roof above the B-pillars and holes in my interior down low where I can't see them... but you know what? I don't care. I LOVE MY CAR! Edited 26/12/10 08:01 PM by John_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get the white sedans cos they get trashed by the pool car drivers. Any color except white from Telstra and you're prolly driving a car that was used by an sales exec for no more than 2 years, serviced at the right intervals (Telstra send out reminders) and fueled with either Mobil 98 RON or Shell 98 RON (Telstra recommend T drivers to use 98 RON).

Rudiger All round good guy! Lifetime Members 1,122 Member For: 16y 8m 25d Gender: Male Location: Greenvale, Victoria Posted 29/12/10 11:49 AM Share Posted 29/12/10 11:49 AM John, that is so awesome you got pics of it in uniform.Guys take it straight from the mouth of the horse that used to drive them. Firstly, to those who have ex "chasers" as you call them and they are good cars, good for you.But knowing how I drove them, um, I wouldn't buy one.But then, I would never buy a taxi. I would buy the car I have now and I reckon I've given that more than.....no I take that back. I wouldn't buy an ex "chaser" Certainl;y not a little yellow VL Turbo that I did 173 ks on a tank after thrashing it up and down the Western Highway. Gee those were the days.Yeah they are serviced every 5000k at Ratter says. Checked after a pursuit (if your allowed to be in one...ahh the funs all gone)People use to ask me "What do they do to police cars to make them so fast?" I'd answer, "They give me the keys". lolAsk yourself, what is the fastest car in the world?Answer...Someone elses.Give me the keys to any car, give me free petrol and tell me the guy down the road with the Radar is my mate and I'll make that baby hum.sh*t I miss it.Anyway, I wouldn't buy one. Having said that, it is something that should be "disclosed" and if I was able to find the history of the car, that is, where is was based and I could talk to the giuys who drove it, then I would certainly consider it. There is nothing wrong with them, but I know me. And I wouldn't trust me with your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
