View Full Version : Are Highway Robbery getting triksy???

I saw a highway robbery car yesterday that had no markings on the bonnet or on the whole front section of the car! From front on it was just white (apart from the red and blue lights of course) which made it way harder to identify quickly. Hmmm - are they getting more and more triksy or was it just a HP car in the process of being revamped? It didn't look like it was a work in progress to me though.

I reckon they are...

I saw one on the way to work that had no markings at all (I saw it cos it had just pulled someone up) but it was one of those big american pickup things...

not sure what it was exactly, but looked kinda like this. (http://biz3.50below.com/files/facility/porterfieldtireinc.com/chevy-pickup.jpg)

Probably just back from the panelbeater - no chance to get it off to have the usual decorations put back on yet maybe? Curious...

The vehicle in question had probably had recent panel work done. The Police have no design standard for a partially marked vehicle. The decals are modular so they can be replaced panel by panel, if necessary.

But that's okay, Velox is a good girl and never speeds. Waiting for the first paycheck for an R6, weasel?

Responsible use of taxpayers' money. That's what I like to see...

Of course. I wouldn't make them pay for a Yammie or Kwaka.

Which reminds me (sorry - totally dif topic) - where do you usually park your bike at work? Do you just use one of those bike parks outside (Lambton Quay and Terrace) or is there a better place?

The bike park on The Terrace (by the Chow Main Cube) is generally packed solid. I have recently (when I had a bike and was able to ride it) been using the bike park by the Ox, on the Ballance St/LQ corner.

Yeah I figured that might be the best bet. The Terrace one is always real full when I go past it too.


Weasel - "weazle" is my nickname - that's what Madboy's on about. Makes it a bit confusing when I'm introducing myself to KBers for the first time!

The Terrace one is always real full when I go past it too.Before I needed to umm, change parking locations, I used to park in the one-way street that leads to the clifton tce carpark. When it fills the footpath beside gets used. But that would mean a walk up hill for you ;)

I prefer to park on Featherston opp Arizona Bar now. Which means I park on the footpath beside the bike park cos it's always full. I can't understand why bikes never get ticketed (touch wood), since I never display my rego or WOF and sometimes don't have a plate at all on.
