Didnt have my camera Any one else seen it ?Glenn the Patrols with roofracks are STG's wagons (Special Tactics Group), the Police Antiterrorist squad - they're like their "Super AOS". The command vehicles are black Suburbans (Huuuuuge wank factor) and the troopers have patrols. No prizes for guessing who they modelled themselves on Someone must have done something REALLY stupid for them to bother putting the lights on and stopping them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted May 4, 2009 yup, theres also a couple of blue nissian maxmas and a gold honda accord that are being used for muffty atm Here in Napier there's at least 2 new VE Commodore SV6's (Orange and a Blue one), A new Blue Maxima and a silver Honda Accord Euro all as mufti traffic cops. i saw a white toyota hiace made to look like a painters van roof-racks ladder and drop cloth hanging over the side parked on Remuera rd a few weeks ago had a speed camera looking threw the rear window, i had to turn around for another look just to be sure! I did hear about them wanting to change the fleet of speed camera wagons, but I thought it was just an upgrade of the L300 Vans - have they gone super-sneaky like this one too?

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Actually, the new priveas blend in really well outside schools etc which is where I see camera vans most of the time, as they ticket you even at 55kph outside schools. Looks like like a soccer moms van Theres one out west I've seen a few times, it does its rounds and has a few usual spots, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingkarl 136 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 I've seen a toyota aurion also. Wish they just stuck with the Holdens, would be much easier to pick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDP 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah. No plate surrounds, steel wheels, an LPG sticker and you could usually see the lights. Picking the Holdens was cake. These new ones... not so much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
