    Shiny New Coppers

    Coming back from a blast over the 'Taka's yesterday I saw a rather disturbing site.

    Being delivered through to Upper Hutt was a transporter carrying 7 new HP commodores for the new lights to be fitted - just excellent........

    Can't wait for them to get on the road.....I think we should throw them a parade

    I think you will find that most if not all of the HP cars are commodore S's. Quite abit better than the executives the normal cars are. Just look for the mags, thats the giveaway.

    in the waikato at the moment there is a silver BA XR6 - it was swapped for a green one a couple of weeks ago. i don't know where the green one went - they are rotating them around the regions. there is also a beige maxima. the only good thing about the unmarked cars is that they are not for mobile speed work - they are used for laser work and 'manner of driving' enforcement, and for picking up high speed runners, who think they have got away from the marked HP cars.

    Well that's the worry, innit? I mean how are we supposed to filter properly when we have to check the back parcel shelf of every Falcon, Commodore etc before fanging past it?

    With a dirty/faded/sanded/covered/ plate! But that would be avoiding your roadside tax!

    Ohhh yeh.....I've seen a red and a green 'S' these cars are the latest with fat mags full skirt kit etc they look like a 'boy racer type' of car :sneaky2:
    I mean why the hell do they need all that extra shit on them what a wast of money at least the old V8 'SS' were rather more plain looking.

    So the skirt kitted 'S' is a supercharged v6 then?
    cheers DD
