Is it the facelifted model? The taillights look quite a bit different to the original Accord V6. Police getting even more shady on us and using Hondas and Hyundais now? They've going for all the H brands it seems. Next thing you know, and it'll be Hummers! :gob:
For those not in the know, I've attached a couple of pics of Accord V6s.
The 2nd is the original tail, 3rd is the facelifted version.

Rules for finding cops:
If you're on a deserted road and you see a car, it's a cop.
If a car is catching you from behind it's a cop.
If it's a late model car, it's a cop.
If it's a crappy car then check, it might be a cop.
And, btw - those vans on the side of the road, they're from the cops.
If it's white, orange and blue then it's a cop.
But if you're house is being burgaled they all magically disappear! *poof*

Look out down south. Saw two mufti cops around Geraldine and they were in black XR6's. Both writing tickets too.

Basically yes although I guess they will still have those rear lights on da corners of rear screen but still makes it difficult eh with the number of say Subaru's...guess we just have to look at number of passengers etc........

MUFTI - seriously 'mufti' is an acceptable option to what 'undercover'.
I thought only stuck-up english public school boys used the word 'mufti', and 1940's RAF pilots from B&W films......

Yes, your right. They are known as "Plain" cars, in the industry.

nope it is hp mate. usually based out of north shore policing centre or orewa base (stu). cviu use holden utes. (usually plain, but we dont have to worry about them).

When you tour the S.I anything comming towards you could be a cop. Anything behind you likewise. Anything parked on the side of the road also. They are thick from the Lindus pass all the way to Christchurch. Watch out around Seddon south of Blenheim. Basically, they are everywhere. It will be a lottery for you. And lastly, good luck!

i recall passing a sign on my trip to Wanganui this Boxing Day past. It was a message from Big Brother in Blue and it said "Drive to the conditions"
Does that mean on a sunny day, a long straight backroad in Canterbury, no traffic and no people or farm equipment around; I can do 200kph?

Don't fool yourself when it comes to standard wheels more & more of them now have Factory Mags as well as rear spoilers.
Also they are not always fitted with LPG.
They are also not stock standard they have all sorts of shit done to them before the cops take delivery.

In police pursuit of all things unwholesome, they themselves take to subterfuge and deception. What’s with that? Is it because we’re too naughty when big brother isn’t watching? (probably) It's not painting a pretty picture of the force.
Put a marked car out on the street, that’ll slow ‘em down, but lurking for someone to bollocks it up is just entrapment. Rant over… :whocares:

Fuck off ya wanker, a marked car just creates a safe 'bubble' in it's general vicinity visible to people, once it's out of sight it's "as you were, back to the way you normally 'drive'" (read: get along the road the way you want to).
Plain cars catch the dicks in action and keep the rest on their toes.
"Not fair" you say? 'fair' finished when primary school did, get with the programme - life is not fair.

I like unmarked cars...
It's probably because most of my riding is in the city and suburbs, and I see a lot of fucking morons driving like cocks. Nothing delights me more than seeing an asshat go screaming past an unmarked car who then preceeds to pull him up.
My general thought on road policing is - we know the rules, if we break them and get caught then should deal with it.

They hunt in pairs in the south Island so beware if you manage to avoid the first patrol car there will be a second one backing him up 5-10 mins down the road.
The cops down south are smart-so smart you could pin a tail on them and call them a weasel.

Well the ones that sprung me riding from Blenheim to the west coast were definitely hunting in pairs.The nice police man even told me it was a very effective way of catching speeders cause when they get past the first car they think that's the last cop we'll see for a while so you get comfortable and speed up on the straights and thats where they sit and wait for you.

Saw that on my CB500 about 1974 up the Ngauranga Gorge heading outa Wellingtown. the only give away from behind was that he was wearing those silly brown boots that nobody else would be seen dead in. There was no way I was passing anybody wearing those bloody things. He wore a one piece rain suit and a non-issue white helmet with an MoT badge on the front.
For the curious, I noted the latter when he pulled up a truck by pulling alongside it and pointing at the badge on his hat...

I'm a broken man. A shell of my former self. I'm going to book myself in for therapy and ask for the strongest & fastest anti-depressant drugs:mellow: .
Why? The Police have won. They've swamped the roads with what seems like a HP for every 2km of road in NZ.
Game over. The funs over, the other team won. Everybody go home and wait for boredom to consume us.:bye:
It just seems even cruising the motorway at anything between an innocent 110-115kph now and SLAM! It's as if the HP materialise out of the seal itself!
Just been out in the car for a short trip and saw two muftis. It gets worse, it seems the driver of the new black Falcon mufti with chrome mags, tow bar, spoilers lives in my suburb! I feel claustrophobic, like being trapped in a nightmare where you just can't get away from the bogey man. Ever turn, there he is, radar/laser at the ready. The dog handler stopped me recently and nearer booked me.:angry:
Not that many years ago we would scream up the Kaitokes to the base of the hill. But now. I'm terrified if I go above 108kph. I break out in shakes and a cold sweat. Where have all the good times gone (screams in Pink Floyd tone).
Edit- this is a serious matter separate to this thread so i'll start another depressing thread on the demise of our freedom to speed.

I feel claustrophobic, like being trapped in a nightmare where you just can't get away from the bogey man. Ever turn, there he is, radar/laser at the ready. The dog handler stopped me recently and nearer booked me.:angry:
Not that many years ago we would scream up the Kaitokes to the base of the hill. But now. I'm terrified if I go above 108kph. I break out in shakes and a cold sweat. Where have all the good times gone (screams in Pink Floyd tone).
Edit- this is a serious matter separate to this thread so i'll start another depressing thread on the demise of our freedom to speed.
Saw more cops in the crwd ATthe Vincent rally enjoying themselves than I did going to/coming from said rally:yes:

Just to confuse matters even more down here in Christchurch, a construction firm has now painted the tops of it's ladders red and blue, so that when they are tied down to roofs of the work vehicles - which are white I might add, a quick glance in the rear view mirror makes you think their's a cop behind you...
At a distance it's disturbing how cop-like it looks!

Yeah that red and blue ladder on the car roof thing seems to be a nationwide prank by tradesman.

I saw a station wagon that had red and blue ladders on it just out of Arthers pass late last year, It scared the living shit out of me :gob: , I had to throw out both anchors and the parachute, I did get a big wave and a silly grin from the bugger tho.
Come to think of it I think the smell has finally gone out of my bike pants

FYI, ALCO started a system of making their Industrial ladders with a blue top step, and Domestic ladders with a red top step. This helps identify domestic ladders on building sites (as being unsuitable). MAny tradesmen have a mix. - and I know what you mean, it makes you do a double take alright!!

Saw a silver / grey Honda Accord giving two very noice and proper 'Ladies' a ticket on the northern part of mana before the roundabout (south of the weigh station). Everyone drives waaay too fast there - it IS a 50kph zone ffs.
It did NOT look like a mufti car.
I don't have an issue with it. Happy to tootle along at 100kph as loong as they keep the traffic flowing I have no need to be any place sooner than I get there.

The young guy at work got a $150 ticket this morning from a mufti cop, He failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign on his mountain bike. :spanking:
I'm not sure how they are going to give him demerit points because he does'nt
have a license. :blink:

he'll be issued with a psuedo dlicno, and demerits added to that. that number will convert to his actual dlicno once he gets a 1L/6L
