Meeting Mr Mufti

[Ocean1]

Not a problem if it is not your vehicle and someone else is paying for the stone chip repairs to bodywork and windscreen.

Best of luck to you mate, it's summer, by the time you can see the road again I'll be starting on my first cold beer.

Just through Pirongia there is quite a long straight bit of road.

He might've been looking for me - I was coming north yesterday and got behind the usual cars going a good speed,then slow,then fast...so I took them all on that stretch. Of course they sped up,and I was doing 150kph to clean them up...then some bitch sits on my tail doing 120kph until I could put some more cars between us. I didn't want to do 150kph there because I know there were cops about, 120kph would be fine if they had stayed at 100kph....or the 80kph they had been doing not long before.

New plain Highway Patrol cars, as part of a new initiative in January, are going to be Mitsi Lancers and Subaru's. 50 will be spread around the country, so that should be about 4 per police district.

They are changing their patrol cars I have heard to BMWs as they are more reliable than the commodores
So that A$%ss BMW drive might be a mufti cop

I suppose if its good enough for the MPs it good enough for the police

Evo's and STi's to ensnare boy racers?

[FJRider]

Seen this already... Still, in terms of quantities and odds, it's the main highways where they normally are.

I see it like a race. I try to find more and more back roads to enjoy, before they cotton on, and keep going further off the beaten track to find us. Once I see them on gravel I'll know we've reached the inner circle of hell

They won't get the quota on back roads ...

Not STi's but quick neverthless. Don't ask me how i know this coz I'm not telling.

[sugilite:Me]

Nothing new here, I've never bothered with a radar detector for that exact reason, that instant on thing is like playing Russian roulette. These days I simply can not be bothered speeding on highways n that, eyes on stalks, head swiveling all about the place, meh
Lucky for me I live waaaay out rural, they are an extinct race out this way, the only time I've ever seen a police car in the valley in 10+ years was when they came out investigating a suicide.

I've never heard of a Commodore with reliability issues?

Are they going to be lowered and have big bore exhausts?, ah, and are they going to be driven like all the other retards that drive them so they don't stand out from the others? Ha Ha, it wasn't you that pulled that tandem pulled trailer swaying all over the road north of wanganui yesterday arvo was it?, man that HP was more patient than I would have been.

It wasn't a mufti but I had a cop look at me when I took on some gravel on the Coast to Coast a few weekends back. Don't think I was speeding...


Oh, and I was driving back from the 'naki on Boxing day and among the 100's of HP cars was one quite older (probably at least 5 years old) commodore parked on a passing lane - definitely had lights above the dash. Also saw another bronze late model jobbie. There were also empty patrol cars parked on the side of the road in a couple of places (Waverley for one). All the bikes on the road were behaving themselves quite well too - wonder why...

You should see the cuties we have found for our ride back from Taupo

Can't wait to see the faces of the L's Angels, they will no doubt think we have gone insane

You dont need road markings eh?
