The newer cars electronics seem to interfere with the radars when they are mounted near the dash. Doesn't happen very often at all, more of an annoying factor as you get readings like 420km/h.
was wondering why i saw 3 new TE cars cruising down albany hwy in convoy. they had all their radars out on the side. noticed they were all fords too. is it only fords that seem to muck around with the radars readings?

420km.h :O lol ouch hoon legislation times 100!

AHA!
Saw this vehicle (or something same colour and Lightbar) in Kensington/VicPark a few weeks ago. Had pulled a car over. Those LEDs in the Lightbar nearly burnt my eyeballs out of my eyesocket. Good Work!
And the reflective tape wasn't bad either.

Personally I like the blue colour, but admittadly, it's different...

I think they should have done (similar to what the Vic Police got) with their purple VE-SS Commodores....Very Nice!

thats right and i actually like it...well my own personal opinion.
I like the LED's...SLOW DOWN | RBT AHEAD or if the vehicle has pulled over someone...CHECK YOUR SPEED | THIS COULD BE YOU

haha!

Looks can be deceiving...viewed from diagonal angle this lightbar only has a weak rotating beacon to offer. The LEDs only kick in from the front

I'd grab a Vector anytime over something like that.

An about the purple....no comment, anything I say could be held against me....

It looks like a Code3 Excalibur Light Bar or very similar..

sorry to drag this up... dunno if anyone else has noticed it tho:

This TE car now has the licence plate 'DROP5' haha

It's been Drop5 for a while now I think. Saw it a couple of weeks ago on James St, Guildford heading towards Alfred's kitchen and onto Guildford Road. Unfortunately it was night time, kinda lucky I spotted it really. I nearly dismissed what I thought had been a light bar on top of a car. But there's no missing that detailing.

Pretty sure the car has always had those plates, heres my pics from Feb.
