PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 16y 3m 6d Gender: Male Posted 07/11/14 06:29 PM Share Posted 07/11/14 06:29 PM Hi Guys,What's the most unusual unmarked cop car you've seen?On the way home from work this week, I saw a black Nissan X-Trail. Not hard to spot as he had nabbed somebody and his lights on.A dumb mistake. Accelerating down the onramp onto James Ruse, I saw a blue Hyundai vacate the left lane (that I needed to merge into). I didn't spot the almost identical blue buzz box behind him (who had decided not to vacate the left lane). One more. Hearing the sirens, I slowed approaching a green light to let the ambo through. And then I proceeded. The cops came barrelling into the intersection close behind the ambos. I assumed one emergency vehicle not two.

Right lane one turned off so I pulled into the right lane and booted it in second, got a bit through third and came up behind a Late model camira rather fast and braked.. Then I noticed the little light bar in the back window and the two guys staring at me in the mirrorssh*t my pants but they did nothing, probably detectives or something Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89544-most-unusual-unmarked-cars-dumb-mistakes/#findComment-1510994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a car that I would normally look out for. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89544-most-unusual-unmarked-cars-dumb-mistakes/#findComment-1511064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a plain 4wd Toyota hilux. You just can't spot them these days. Except for the XR6Ts with a huge aerial hanging off the qtr panel. See them a mile off.

I JET Member 325 Member For: 12y 3m 17d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 09/11/14 03:40 AM Share Posted 09/11/14 03:40 AM I've seen lots of Hyundai's and Sh!tsubishis around my area. I was speaking to a retired detective a little while ago about this subject and he said that for every marked police car you see on the road there is about 10 un-marked ones, weather it be highway patrol, detectives, drug squad, specialist crime unit or someone a little higher up. He also mentioned that depending on the unit and within reason they are not really allowed to pull people over for minor traffic offences and expose a covert vehicle. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89544-most-unusual-unmarked-cars-dumb-mistakes/#findComment-1511200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
