Plain VE

Post by Always RX »

Gday guys...yesterday on the freeway i was passed by an unmarked gold VE sedan with pursuit rims and state government number plates. It had a deckblaster and parcel shelf LED`s but no visible radio antennas...anyone hazard a guess at what this thing does?....maybe Department of environment.....or corrections?

I did see a plain unmarked police cae which was a gold sedan on Wanneroo road on Thursday. I knew it was a WAPOL vehicle as it had a car pulled over and I thought to myself that was the first time I had ever seen an unmarked vehicle looking as good as that one did.

Manager vehicles are usually fleet vehicles - with private plates. I've never seen one with Govt plates before.

It would of have to been an organisation from this list.

Probably not the Abalone Management Advisory Comittee or the Potato Marketing Corporation (if they have vehicles).
