ha ha ha true true.... but for the most part the nice fancy cars are Show cars or for parades and such.

the par for the course are 1999 - 2009 Ford Crown Victorias
and 2008 - 2009 Dodge Chargers. You might find some unmarked Ford Tauruss or Dodge Intrepeds or Ford Five Hundreds sprinkled in there but that is about it for the Cruisers.

Thanks again for sharing I am DROOOOOOOOOLING over here ! ! !!

Here’s one of mine from back in September, 2003. A bloke called Peter Borelli, based in Wodonga was driving this. I’m not sure if he’s retired now, but he was doing the job back when they were thrashing XY Falcons up the road.

A top "old school" copper and a big Ford fan as well.

Classic. It's rather interesting seeing all these cop cars. Isn't the Prius for the feds?

It always seems photos that I put online, with the kids in it, gets more views/downloads that others without the kids. Just feels a bit creepy sometimes.

Hi Danny,
Peter Borelli has been in the TOG/HWP for nearly 40 years, he tells a great story about driving a XY interceptor from Geelong to Melbourne in the early 70's, under 20 minutes from memory and he has a really big affection for the last of the 351 XE's.

Top bloke and real gentlemen is Pete, one of the last old school fella's.

Seen a few unmarked territorys, a couple of F6 typhoons - for some reason they always look better then just a normal drivers F6.. maybe its because they are weighed down with 200 more kgs or something..

Also saw a few unmarked jap cars(180sx, Skylines etc) and about 2 weeks ago i saw an XR8 pursuit car with green p-plates on ahaha

Problem with supply, maybe?? I'm just guessing, I know there is a marked FG turbo at Bairnsdale now. It's been there for a couple of months, and it's got the 18 inch rims, not the 17's.

I’ve pinched these pics from another site. They may have been around for a while, so apologies if they’ve been posted elsewhere on the forum.

Thanks to the “family friendly” site for the pics, you know who you are.
