Warning: SH16 cop has a new car

[crynsie]

Went for a ride up SH16 yesterday and took a break by the boat club for a smoke. Got chatting to some locals who were off for a fish who said the cops have a new mufti car in the area.
It is a small (not a commodore) black holden with a spoiler on the back. The locals said it looked a bit like a boy racer car, but has the optional blue and red flashing lights in the grill.

Take care out there :scooter:

[scumdog]

Wow, THAT has me shaking in my boots - not!

But 'take care' is good advice......

Oh I'm thinking he'd be liking that.

Holden Epica. Vectra replacement.

How apt - epicac is a substance used to induce vomiting

[Big Dave]

It's not as bad as an Emina?

[Bender]

Epicac ... great family guy clip. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYSpIz2FjU)

[Cayman911]

I think it might be IPECAC...

[red mermaid]

There is a new car down this way as well, but its not a plain one!

Either that or he couldn't catch up to you in that POS.

Both would make you pucker :facepalm:

went to the old supermarket last night and parked in front of a white hyundai sante fe all stealthed out with lights on dash gril rear window etc. Had to look it over a few times before I was convinced but seems to be legit.
First time iv seen a truely undercover car like that closet I'v seen is the silver hyundai sedan in ohakune.
not a bad idea cause the old commies stick out like dogs balls but at the same time I don't quite ride perfectly allllll the time :innocent:

[cheesemethod]

Cops in Hamilton have a silver Nissan Cefiro with 18 inch wheels and a full body kit. That thing you would definately not pick apart from any other boy racer car.

[thehollowmen]

There used to be a beaaaautiful honda accord up near Hamner Springs. Every time I went through there it would be at the side of the road with some poor sucker in front of it.

When I waved as I passed he waved back too :-)

Bwa ha ha, that is one of my bosses vehicles. There are a few of them. The bosses live at New Lynn and Greenhithe, and one in Glendowie. You will find that they were ambulance vehicles, not police.

[Toot Toot]

BTW be very careful going along SH1 at Warkworth. All the roadworks are finished and it is a nice wide multilane piece of road, at each end it is a 100k area (with a short 80k stint) but the main part is 60KpH... it is being heavily enforced! Be warned..

[red mermaid]

And now you've gone and spoilt it! :shutup:

[Conquiztador]

Should not be an issue anyhow. We can only ride at 4K above the limit this w/e...

I am sooo glad that we are saved by the law!

[Botany Honda]

And now you've gone and spoilt it! :shutup:

I disagree, it's the useless pricks that can't ride/drive safely within the old 100kmph limits that have ruined it for all of us.

..and yes I know you were taking the piss :yes:

[SMOKEU]

We can only ride at 4K above the limit this w/e...



First I've heard.

[scumdog]

First I've heard.

Yeah, you can ride any speed you feel like eh!





It's just that more than 4kph over the speed limit COULD get you a ticket.

Of course this has always been the case if the cop involved felt like writing out the ticket... for say 105kph

[nathan.read]

Why speed in the first place, isnt that what the track is for, not the road?

We're not all rich enough to go to a race track every time we want to exceed 100kmh.

[nathan.read]

Owing a CX 400 I dont go to the track.

I dont see the point of speeding on public roads, putting myself and others at risk.

What are you proving by speeding?

[stify]

What are you proving by speeding?

that the speedo works as indicated...:finger:

[Ronin]

+/- 10% margin of error... more or less.

Your restraint, however modest, is commendable. After all the CX400 probably doesn't offer the ultimate in temptation.

Owners of 1198s, S1000RRs, CBR1000RRs, etc etc, would require superhuman restraint to ride like that though.

[nathan.read]

apparently when new the cx400 could do 160kph, with a 24 yo bike I dont even want to try that, 100kph is a nice speed and I get a longer ride for the same distance

And owners of S4R's...:whistle:

is this a serious post?

the point is going fast is fun, its not about proving anything

i'd have thought that was fairly self evident

[ac3_snow]

any way.... so undercover ambo cars eh?! hahaha so they can sneak up and fix you up before you even know whats hitcha!

[Toot Toot]

Yeah you gotta watch out for them...waiting on bad corners in case you fall off!
