saw this out at VKI last week.. looks schmicko! having a guess that some of the kit inside would include fold out BBQ, large esky... ect..

H* 1** Toyota Hilux Varley Pod, Bull Bar HF Radio Atenna seen Diana Cres Lockridge couldnt catch the full call sign was to dark If any one knows where this car may be from or have seen it around could you Please let Me know the proper call sign It for my WAPOL Spread Sheet

CA503 looks like it is a 4wd, possibly another Ford Territory. It had regular markings with HF, but I can't be sure on Make/Model.

Spotted today on James Street.

Yep Ford territory. there is also a black unmarked territory going around.. not sure of callsign but they prowl around Northbridge on weekends.. have a feeling they belong to ROG.

I suppose to help cope with the busy summer period around Scarbs. Also FYI talk is that alot of GD sedans and nearly all Ford Falcon Divvy vans will be changed over to new Varley Pod vehicles.. Cant 100% confirm but its just what i have heard from some reliable sources

I've heard that its a perm fixture for the ZS fleet.

About time GD sedans move to Varley Pods, its sensible. The Varley Pods are alot better for both the officers and the crims safety. Sitting higher up in 4wd or 2wd has its benefits, instead of sitting down on the ground in the Falcon's

they are more practicle too.. plus its a whole lot easier trying to get a non-compliant person out of a varley pod than a standard divvy van due to the dual access doors rather than one access door and a tiny 'hatch' on the side..

plus Hi-lux's have more cupholders and are more spacious!

Id take a falcon van anyday over the hilux.... the hilux's are horribly slow... and if they ever do away with the sedans no car is ever going to be pursued...

I believe that your normal sedan cars like Holden's / Fords, what they are on about replacing are the Ford Falcon Utes with the Canopy on the back, there the ones that are slow, incredibly hard to drive and virtually no rear vision!

UQ240, is a Standard Hilux. It hasn't been converted to TQ yet. Does anyone know if this is happening with the UQ23x Vehicles?

Snap!
