Mufti cop warnings

[Biff]

People have expressed the need for a thread that lets others know where plain clothes cops have been sighted. Please post your "sightings" here. This is not a discussion thread. So please do not post drivel or off topic stuff in here. The mods have enough to do as it is. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

[Joni]

Please keep this thread on topic, and only post in here if you have spotted a plain clothed police person/vehicle.
People have expressed an interest in using this thread as a resource, so no need for unnecessary stuff to be posted. So anything not relevant will be deleted.

This is not a discussion thread, facts only please.

Lets keep it clean guys.

Symptoms of a NZ mufti/plain clothes car

Remember they are often new model cars that should be reasonably spec'd as standard...

1) No towbar
2) LPG sticker
3) Often without mags
4) Lights on the parcel tray
5) Extra arial
6) Lights on if parked by the side of the road at dusk or later

what else?

[Patrick]

Rego: First three digits of rego something like TDK


They giving out personalised plates now? DTK... is more likely.

That may be just to keep the Jet Black Mitzi Diamante that does ChCh-Ashburton company :yes:

[N4CR]

wtf where'd mine go ya plonks :nono:

maybe make this one a seperate thread (laser trapping/motorway part)

Auckland..

Glen Innes: White (rare) and Black 'S' (late) model holdens (mags/spoiler etc), black usually has radar. Olive coloured older LPG/hubcaps model is common too. These cars are mostly just driving around but sometimes speed traps on Felton matthew Rd (steep) and Tripoli Rd around the school (5k tolerance).

Waterfront/motorway (often!!): Black S model holden (mags/spoiler). Often around the minigolf area on the sea side radaring. Lasers around the main docks entrance. Also by the bus stop on the dock side opposite hobby city etc (will hide behind other cars).

2000ish model Blue XR6 twin headlight sedan on SH1 north of brynderwyns towards whangarae

Red XR6 sedan (older shape) late 1990's around clevedon occasionally.

Common motorway spots for mufti/HP to laser.

SH16:
(northwestern motorway heading towards auckland in that order).

Before the first overbridge (royal rd) at the start of the motorway, lasers due to traffic density.

Before te-atatu rd offramp by the end of the bridge rails (can't see them due to sign/streetlights in the way). Laser.

Before patiki rd offramp (after te-atatu) on flush median between offramp/motorway. Laser.

(Rare) gt north offramp on the Emergency lane just as it turns off. hidden behind rails sorta...

Before western springs exit On grass at end of long straight under trees at the end (usually black S model). Then sometimes further up on the grass between off/onramps.

North bound for some reason hasn't really got much attention on sh16, not too worth running through apart from right at the end where westgate is..

Those are the common ones.. if you want I can do the SH1 going south to about papakura.. i'm on those motorways alot.

[SlowHand]

Also spotted on Nor western west bound
Van and cop combo just after Lincoln Rd on ramp. Hidden by the slope and armco.

Late model Mitsubishi Diamante
Kaikohe
Cant remember colour, but brown or silver, and didnt see reg.

Dealer Plates something to look out for too.

5) LONG (VHF) Extra aerial.

Look out for the 'covert' Holdon aerial. It replaces the car's standard radio antenna. It's much longer and thinner than a normal car antenna. Allegedly. So a 'bloke' down the pub told me..

And then there's the 'extra covert antenna'. Disguised as a handlebar moustacho and normally worn by Mr Mufty. And sometime Ms Mufty.

1) Not 100% relaible - some have 'em
2) Not down here anyway
3) True - sort of, some have mags
4) Often 'disguise'
5) Like stock-agents have?
6) THAT went out with the MOT, I certainly don't do that.

But I guess you meant well.
:yes:

[Switch]

My miss's told me on her drive to hamilton that she noticed a Blue Toyota Hilux (she thinks so) Undercover cop that had pulled someone over. First time ive heard about a ute, so watch out for it.

[boomer]

VERY COMMON sneaky spot for Motorways.. You will not see them untill it is too late.

Northbound on SH1 about 1 kilometre past the Oteha Valley rd on ramp. As you go over the rise (the on ramp merge lane just ending), look to your left. Because the motorway is built up here the left hand verge drops down quite sharply. There is a small gap in the armco and a gravel patch provided for the HP to park. Because it is in the gap of the armco, they reverse down the bank a bit, they are impossible to detect. The only time you will see them is if you look in your rear view mirrors as you pass by the spot. Even then you will only see their light bar and windscreen poking up.
IFYOU SPEED PAST HERE YOU ARE POKED.

Mr Valentine, or any of his friends, will help you find these boys and 'girls'

Black bling bling commodore on SH1, travels between town and papakura.

<snip> sightings/locations postings only. This sticky ain't a discussion thread...

[R6_kid]

Northwestern motorway laser/camera locations:
Heading IN to town from Westgate -
On grass verge, left hand side before top of the hill at Royal Heights on ramp (right at the start)

In the dip after Royal Heights on ramp on the left hander, at the end of the armco barrier.

Under bridge by Te Atatu on ramp

Before/After Avondale exit and on ramp


Heading from town to Westgate -
Between St Lukes on ramp and Waterview offramp occasionally there is a cop in the bus lane observing traffic.

Generally there will be atleast one police car in the traffic patrolling this stretch mid-evening (5-7pm)

[rok-the-boat]

Going over Harbour Bridge, heading south in the mornings.

I have noticed a cop car waiting around the corner and stopping people in the bus lane to raise some taxes. Not everyday, but sometimes - whatever happened to Robin Hood?

It looks like a normal lane but there is a sign saying Bus Lane (certain times only) and the unsuspecting get collared in the mornings. If you come over the bridge in the near side lane and don't turn off at Shellybeach Road you'll be around the corner and into the trap before you know it. Watch out - saw a 999 rider getting robbed there yesterday.

[Sycophant]

Further in the city, coming down Fanshaw St, on Queen St/Customs St and on Parnell Rise/Stanley St intersections there are quick often bike cops catching red light runners and speeders. Also, on Fanshaw heading back to the north shore, I've seen a speed trap around the corner past Hobson before Nelson.

And North bound after the bridge there in teh quieter times there is sometimes an HP car parked in behind the barrier where the lane-changer-thing live, radaring people coming down the bridge.

I'm all for the red light checkpoints. In fact if any Auckland cops are reading thing - Fanshaw/Halsey St in the morning (and afternoon) is terrible for red light runners.

And as a quick aside, sitting at the lights at Queen/Customs a couple of weeks ago, there were two bike cops on teh other side of the intersection. The pedestrian crossing was going, and a cyclist comes up behind me and rides through the intersection with the pedestrians. One of the cops on the other side runs out and stopped him, when I went past they seemed to be exchanging words on the side of the road - I was very amused.

[NighthawkNZ]

4) Often 'disguise'

:scratch: a mufti thats in disguise :lol:



err in Dunedin is I saw a red commodore... looked like an SV6 or something (was I bit far away to get any other details.. like rego something like BFT032...:scratch: )

[scumdog]

:scratch: a mufti thats in disguise :lol:

Nah, CLZ214:yes:

[thehollowmen]

There is a red mufti holden SS and a black one too that are around chch. The red one keeps pulling out in frount of me without looking in the hospital car park when I'm going home from work. I'll try and get a rego for it)

[jumma]

Wellington:

Last Saturday I spotted a undercover car on the way out to the Taka's. As you head north down the first hill after the Kaitoke passing lane, he was sitting with his radar on the old section of SH2 facing south. He's right by the intersection so can pull out reasonably quickly.

It's easy to get up a lot of speed here rather quickly (especially if you've just overtaken someone) so check that road is clear first.

[MisterD]

SH16 Kumeu
Black late model Holden Commodore possibly an "S" but definitely spoilers & mags

East Tamaki
White Holden SV6 rego CNM ???,

[Swoop]

Heading north over the Harbour bridge, I have noticed tax collectors sitting in the area where the "median barrier moving vehicle" (whatever it's called) has its gagre. Lots of junk all around that area and the ecilops can hide with ease. Laser used from there as well!

[thehollowmen]

Christchurch : White Holden, AHH342. Has an LPG sticker on each bumper like most of the other ones in Christchurch.

[MrMelon]

I saw a cop in a silver hyundai sedan pull someone over on the Waipu straights just south of Whangarei. Looked a bit like this.

[Blondini]

Don buck road..2 heavily tatooed plain clothes in red svu or ss??? red and blue flashing hidden lights in grill.Look like gangsters .Not a hoax.

[jaybee]

ALL OVER AUCKLAND in SV6's and plain acclaims or Berlinas reds slvers .

Nice white SV6 goes up and down Porchester Rd Papakura most Mornings, The trick is look at commodores dash boards and see the 2x thingees called lights that stick out a mile, or the older VT's have them in the grill and generally stick out a mile too, also they are all lowered

But DONT SPEED then ya have no probs ...........:scooter: :shit:
They are every where folks so forget where ya seen them cuz two minutes later just like you they are somewhere else

there is a blue commodore in palmerston north WITH a towbar!:gob:

[Sycophant]

The best unmarked car I have seen to date was a dark blue or black Ford F250 - it was driving down Queen St one even when I was taking a walk down there. Was a couple of years ago now.

Also there is a big black Chevy Suburban around - but I'm pretty sure it's AOS - still looks fairly mean. I wouldn't mess with it. AOS have SUVs (Nissan Patrols?) with big solid platforms on the roof protruding all the way forward to the front bumper, and they have Ford Explorers with fully tinted windows (all but windscreen). However you're pretty unlikely to get pulled over by them I'd say - unless you are carrying a gun I guess.

[pixc]

5/02/07
Tauranga/Te Puke area, (Incidently, Te Puke is headquarters for BOP traffic department..so Ive heard)
Baby blue sedan (yes BABY blue)
Rear spoiler
V6 maybe, unsure of make/model

[jetboy]

1)White Toyota Altezza seen in Pukekohe, lowered slightly with what looked like 17" mags, semi-tinted windows - no shit! Heard sirens and saw this guy fly past me, interior red and blue lights flashing and pull over the dude infront of me. Did a U-turn to double check and sure enough was a uniformed officer writing a ticket.

2)Also - Motorway at Ramarama Onramps both north and southbound. They either sit on the bridge over the motorway with a gun or on the onramps so you cant see them until you've just gone past. Vans sometimes park under the bridge.

3)One more - the road between Pokeno and Tuakau. A cunt of a blue XR6 partols there every day, a real rude bastard too.

[Ixion]

There's a grey Honda Accord with a couple of bintiplod in it trolling around the pakaranga Highway/Bridge/Lagoon Drive area. Watch out where Pak Hwy drops from 60kph to 50kph.

[fozz rock]

we got a brown hyundai sedan in napier :Punk:

[Grub]

On Thursday, a dark blue/green van with ladder rack on top - parked all unevenly on the Paraparamu straights. Very cool disguise, looked just like a trades vehicle carelessly pullled off the road

[more_fasterer]

The auckland central donut-eaters have a red commonwhore S, numberplate C**** (only 5 digits), complete with mags, body kit etc etc

[Romeo]

Christchurch: There's an electric blue double cab ute with canopy (Courier/Navara/Hilux), it looks quite boy-racerish. Flew around a corner and missed a gear (stupid tiptronic 'box - put it into Neutral), looked up and this guy was right infront of me on the roadside with his hidden lights going. The god of speed was looking down on me that day ;s.

[Delphinus]

Central Otago:
There's another Dark/Navy blue double cab ute with canopy (Courier/Navara/Hilux) that i was following coming back from Queenstown to Cromwell. Nearly overtook him as i came out of a corner at the start of a passing lane but hung back for some reason then 5 mins later spotted the hidden lights.

[kevie]

My miss's told me on her drive to hamilton that she noticed a Blue Toyota Hilux (she thinks so) Undercover cop that had pulled someone over. First time ive heard about a ute, so watch out for it.

Ute could have been CVIU unit.

Feildings been running a Nissan Fairlady sportscar for a while as a mufty, catches a lot of ppl.
With police now leasing cars they are getting a lot of them with spoiler kits and mags.
Taranaki has had a jet black Ute with canopy, spoiler kit and mags cruising round aspecially Hawera/Waverly area.

[shafty]

Tauranga, Silver Commodore with spoiler, - disturbed to see him impounding a car on Takitimu Drive - is no where sacred?

[Static]

although most people in this area already know this in pakuranga on glenmore road, near farm cove between the two dips in the road there are frequently marked and unmarked cops sittin at the bottom of the hill. sneaky bastards

[Little Miss Trouble]

Thought I'd add my two cents!
Ugly greeny beige late model holden commadore, likes to sit on Constellation Drive just down from the East Coast road lights, also likes the golf course car park on east coast road as well as right outside my driveway!!

[Rotor]

Black commodore mags, spoilers , lights on back window and back spoiler, 3 aearals see north side of harbor bridge this morning

[Forest]

Silver Commodore sedan. Rego BAF327.

Currently based in Tauranga, but has also been sighted in Auckland.

[Chrislost]

i have seen a black and a red NEW NEW holden comie. regos start with DAF in aucks city.

[okeh]

Hamilton:

Holden acclaim/comodore -silver

Cop wearing no unifom, no instruments on the dash, no lights in back parcel tray. The only lights are in the lower valence about the size of the old 50c coins.

[Morcs]

Auckland EAST.

Silver Maxda 6. Spotted on st heliers bay road.

[slinky]

LOCATION: northern motorway driving from tristram ave and over hte bridge.

CAR: White NEW holden commodore station wagon, dark tints.

- only saw the back of it, but only give away were the rectangle police lights in back window... i got pretty close before i realised it was a cop.

[crash99]

My miss's told me on her drive to hamilton that she noticed a Blue Toyota Hilux (she thinks so) Undercover cop that had pulled someone over. First time ive heard about a ute, so watch out for it.
The Toyota (or in WGTN case, Mitsubishi) utes are for the commercial/truck operations. They also stop cars and bikes (but they ahve to catch us first, right ;-)
Kapiti Coast: New silver Nissan Maxima based at Paraparaumu; the normal blue S spec Commodore.
Also, thought I saw a silver Lexus (yes Lexus) 2 door this morning at paekakariki with a suspicious looking fluoro vest wearing gentleman inside. Will confirm next time I see him - hopefully passing and not personal contact . . .

[scumdog]

So a mod moved my post to PD - where it no longer serves as a warning to anybody that looks on this thread that a plain blue Commodore is lurking on SH1 down my neck of the woods.

Did they think nobody down this way was worth the warning?????:wait:

Or did they not see it as a warning??

[Holy Roller]

Got yer self a new car then:Punk: :dodge:

[Hitcher]

Or did they not see it as a warning??

You could post the rego as well.

To be even more helpful you should post the make, model, colour and rego of the Police's entire mufti fleet. Then all everybody would have to do would be to commit it to memory.

Hmmmph! With the average KB memory most would struggle to remember the colour let alone the rego.
Then again most of the time by the time the rego is noticed so is the pair of pretty red and blue lights.

And the fleet changes in number, make and colour faster than the imperial Hitcher Y-fronts.

I can understand your knowledge of the fleet details, but Hitcher's Y-fronts?

Besides, they could be metric.

They are Imperial.

F250 is the Maritie Unit down at the MArine rescue centre
Nissen Patrols are STG

[BevanPT]

Auckland has at least 1 black Holden SV6, and 1 silver SV6 with all the bling (spoiler, mags, tinted windows). They mainly cruise the motorways and have 360 degree radars to catch you coming from the rear. I have been pulled over by both, but didn't think of getting rego's, sorry. There are also numerous late model Holden panel vans and station wagons with tell tale lights in rear windows. Have seen the odd Hilux/Courier on Nth Western Motorway as well.

If this was a plain White car It is most likely a Fire Service car NOT Police
Check lights if both red it is Fire Service car as we place lights in those positions on or cars either Camery's or Mondeo Station Wagons all white rear lights on number plates

Re Pics above yes NOT POLICE is Fire Service Car
so don't stress if it follows you lol

[Spaz]

Saw a brand new Gold Toyota Camrey with lights on the dash on Astley Ave, New Lynn, Auckland. I didn't catch the numberplate though.

non the less, keep an eye out for gold camreys. it was a pretty odd colour for a car, probably the only gold car you'll see on most trips, so it shouldn't be hard to spot.

[Max Preload]

Seen again yesterday in the same section.

Black Holden Commodore SV6

There can't be too many black SV6's with 820 for the digits tho.

same car has been playing out west. heard he like bikes alot~

[Mattyc]

not 100% sure, but dont police cars have to have a COF? not a WOF

could be another way of spotting them if my sieve like memory is correct

[Max Preload]

not 100% sure, but dont police cars have to have a COF? not a WOF

Don't think so - they're not passenger service (at least not paying passengers lol).

[skidMark]

Just heard from boy racer mates a text being sent round...watch out for a white subaru WRX mags exhaust etc etc

a subaru forester....unsure on the modfications but i assume tinted windows lowered etc...

and a mitsubishi lancer evo 7 mags tint exhaust and all that...

[Fatjim]

Shiny new Red commodore traveling south from Upper Hutt this morning around 8:30ish. May have been late for work or on the way to the donut shop.

[Fatjim]

BTW, only bother reporting mufti's that are HP. Not your usual detective or plod off to a group sex session.

You can tell by the radar pod on the front and rear parcel tray.

[crshbndct]

between tokoroa and putaruru

olive green nissan maxima

[TOTO]

Spagheti Junction Auckland

Dark Grey or Black Toyota Hilux 90's model, tinted window, leather on the top. Stays close to the onramps for the spaghetti junction, often.

[scumdog]

Is ANYBODY remembering all these cars and their locations?

And the fact the muftis get shipped all around the country??

[TOTO]

Well , I remember the ones on my route, and its very interesting they start to use other cars apart from holdens , but holdens are still the main ones. The Missing mags give them away to me.

One thing I dont get is , who do police put stickers on the cars that say LPG , but actually use normal petrol. Thats Cheating, isnt it ?

[Defiant]

Late model DARK BLUE TOYOTA HILUX DUAL CAB with same coloured canopy

Well , I remember the ones on my route, and its very interesting they start to use other cars apart from holdens , but holdens are still the main ones. The Missing mags give them away to me.

Yeah - they don't move them around that much. And the slightly lowered stance gives them away too.

[puddytat]

Silver Commodore....Blue Commodore & a hot looking BlacK Commodore all floating about round Murchison-Springs Junction-Reefton-Greymouth-Westport.:doh:

White Commodore with blue and yellow squares down both sides. Upper Hutt tonight.

White Commodore with blue and yellow squares down both sides. Upper Hutt tonight.

ou yea, those are so hard to miss man, espessiall when they come from behind ...:buggerd: :blink:

[UberRhys]

One thing I dont get is , who do police put stickers on the cars that say LPG , but actually use normal petrol. Thats Cheating, isnt it ?

How do you know this, did you go and check it out? Most LPG vehicles are dual fuel where they run on both LPG and petrol.


White Commodore with blue and yellow squares down both sides. Upper Hutt tonight.

There was a ute with that paint job on the north western m/way this morning in Auckland as well.

[TOTO]

How do you know this, did you go and check it out? Most LPG vehicles are dual fuel where they run on both LPG and petrol.



I know because I asked a my friend a constable for the nz Police , and asked another one when I was going to court to testify against one dummass. They both told me that its just for he public. I for one beleave them.

[jcupit69]

Wellington is now using new model holdens, however from the frount the lights are no longer on the dashboard up frount instead they are mounted behind the grill and are much harder to spot!!

I tend to spot under cover cars by the lack of a rear spoiler and often a lack of alloys. Thats in wellington and the hut at least.

Genius idea for a forum though!!!!!

[scumdog]

So how many KBers have been 'saved' by using this 'sticky'?:wait:

[Hitcher]

So how many KBers have been 'saved' by using this 'sticky'?

And how many of the "muftis" were indeed muftis...

[Madness]

Black BA Falcoon, CYF45.

The driver looked like a right prick too.

[Matt_TG]

So how many KBers have been 'saved' by using this 'sticky'?:wait:

I always whip out my laptop when out on my bike to check if the blue/green/silver/red/white/grey/black holden/ford/honda/mazda I saw driving the other way was a mufti car or not. By the time I boot up the lappie, find a wi-fi signal and navigate my way here the car's usually gone. Maybe that means I have been saved!

Or not! :blink:

I've been saved by delusional paranoia, brought on by the realisation that I'm a killer, and that everyone driving a late model Commode or Coon might be a cop, and will ticket my arse.
I need my licence! I'll die if I have to stop riding for 6 munce!:cry:

Yes, I've seen at least two of those. No, I don't know the plates.

Mistook our own dear Zapf for one -- thread kicking around somewhere :laugh:

[shafty]

Bay of Plenty/Waikato: Black Maxima on the Kaimai's; Blue Maxima on Hinuera straights/Karapiro. Metallic light (bright) new model green Toyota Aurian (Camry) hanging around Cambridge open road areas.

[Max Preload]

Saw a metallic green Commodore S registration BHE812 on the southern motorway today. Driving in the left lane in a modern car at 90km/h really gives them away...

When you see mufti cops in Grey Bongo Mazda 4 wheel drive vans you know you haven't got a chance anymore :(

New commodore greyish/brown metallic
Reg no DTK 4. Keep em coming boys and girls.
NZ Cops should all go and have a picnic on the side of a German Autobahn I reckon.

So let me get this straight, the police have all sorts of cars with varying degrees of covertness, they ship them all over the country and change them all regularly. Half the fleet has probably changed since this thread started. So just a thought... why don't you just keep it legal (and safe) and stop wasting time memorising a licence plate of a car thats probably long since been sold off?.... just a thought

A waste of your breath (well typing), I said much the same somewhere in this thread and was almost yellow-carded.

Whatever turns their crank, whatever turns their crank I guess.....

Yet I see the same ones... over and over and over again. They obviously don't move them around that much.

They are just the ones you see:shifty:

Are you sure you have to worry about those ones you keep seeing - i.e. are they traffic as opposed to LREP, YAS, CIB and half the alphabet that AREN'T traffic??

I see them all. I havent had a ticket since '93, and that was in the car. Besides, who aside from traffic have fluoro-vests and Stalker DSR units?

Ah, the floru vests - best left sitting on the set.

And some black mesh draped over the rear red'n'blues and the radar seem to help with blending in.:shifty:

Fact: yes, you probably ARE seeing the same cars a fair bit (the prehistoric sense where once a danger has been seen the eye picks it up more easily the next time you see it)

But the random cars you don't spot are likely to be the ones moved around the country.

[scorpious]

OK I thought I'd start this thread so if anyone identifies an undercover cop car they can post it here and other (completely law abiding and non speeding lol) kiwibiker's can watch out for them

facts only please no discussion. Start a new thread if you want to discuss things on here.

moderators can you please delete or move any discussion posts and would it be too much to make this a sticky?

cheers

[scorpious]

ok Ill start

Its an orange holden comodor with the numerplate EFB509

its was spotted on the state highway 2 between dannyvirk and woodvill

[Matt_TG]

I think this was done a while back (edit: Yep, here it is the mods have merged), and concluded that they could be white, green, blue, brown, red, black or any other colour, and usually but not always Commodores, except for the few Camry's and Astras out there plus some Hi Lux's and they don't always have lights in their windows or are driven by uniformed Police. Some printed out the possible reg numbers and referred to "The List" when they thought they saw one.

It turned into a bit of a train-spotting-type exercise ("ohhh I saw the NZ Rail #3456 on the main trunk line yesterday oooeeer I was well chuffed" sort of thing).

Good on ya for having a go though :)

[wbks]

Wont it be pretty hard to memorise every mufdy car in the n/s island?

[racefactory]

mate this is a great idea but it's not practical. unfortunately there are a boatload of undercover cops- fucking too many in fact, and what's more is that they are all different colours/diff models of holdens/different cars even!

m8 has been copped by a pig in a Nissan bluebird, and they also have been using quite a few hyundais too. As for holdens i've seen executives, clubsports and even a monaro!

The only way you have a chance is to slow down for all holdens no exception and to be looking into the car, if you don't spot the uniforms then you are bound to spot the sirens sitting ontop of the dashboard. They are also behind the rear windows... also some have some weird number plates...

Unfortunately they will always be a step ahead of us at this particular game!

I think we should rather list characteristics of the cars- not number plates etc. As has been said- it will turn into nothing but train spotting..

What IS important though is that we have all the details of the fucking GINGA's cage!!! He goes round in some mufty thing don't he?


Good idea though ;)

[FJRider]

And add Subaru's in the south island, 4wd mitsi's (Diamante's), but they change them round area to area frequently ... for(to beat) this reason...

[wbks]

This is why I hate holdens with a passion. Even if you're toodling along the motorway safely at 120 with trafic you have to slow right down before you can even tell whether or not there is a cop in the car. I have heard of a hyundai like trademe said which pulled someone up. Surely though, there must be a certain type of numberplate they have as registered police cars, right?

Yup, it's frequently a white plate with black letters/numbers.

THAT should narrow it down a bit for you.:crazy:


Oh, and there's a shit-load of other makes of car you should hate.

Or is one make your limit??;)

[Max Preload]

No. There's even one in Auckland with a personalised plate.

[Hitcher]

Yes it would. If this thread served any useful purpose, that may be a different story altogether.

[Matt_TG]

I've just found lots of Police car pics .. admittedly most are sign-written but there's some cool pics :)

NZ Patrol Cars, Booze Buses and Other vehicles main page (http://www.111emergency.co.nz/PolicePatrols.htm)

Older pics, mainly Falcons (http://www.inthejob.com/newzealand.html)

Some mufti cars ... (http://www.ebbetts.co.nz/holdentauranga/holden.asp)

[wbks]

woulda thought there was a specific type of number...ohwell haha. And yea there are a lot of other makes but I've only ever seen two that werent white commodores. Doesn't matter too much for me though, barely ever speed and when I do its not in built up areas and certainly not around too many other cars...Just to parranoid there might be a skumdog hiding somewhere! lol all gud

[musicman]

No. There's even one in Auckland with a personalised plate.

Do you know what the plate says?

[wbks]

Guesses, anyone?? :)

[Max Preload]

I knew someone would ask. Nah, I can't remember. I saw it about 6 months back I suppose it was, on the southern motorway at Otahuhu/Mt Wellington.

A workmate has a plain black, commodore ute with matching canopy...

I asked him whether he is deliberately trying to look like a cop car, since he keeps his bright yellow, high-viz construction vest wrapped around the back of the drivers seat (looks like the driver is wearing it).
His reaction was "I had wondered why cars would come up behind me really fast and then slow down/not overtake!":rofl::rolleyes::first:

Well Mr Holden there you have it- that is why I am never ever going to be buying one of your vehicles- ever!

I wonder if Personalised Plates charge the Gubbermint for personalised plates. There is that HP car with SLODWN from memory. Getting one on your cop car might be a bonus for extra efficient coppers that always exceed their quotas.

Seen one a couple of times now.

A red Mitsubishi van with a camera in the back of it. Saw it on the hill going into Albany from Silverdale direction on Saturday morning. Then this morning on the northern motorway, heading south. Both times it was hidden round a corner on a downhill stretch, where you'd be over the speedlimit without throttling. Neither time in a spot where you'd expect to see a crash.

ESQ293.
