Today Tonight Commodore Wagon, spotted in Kalamunda on Tuesday.

Crappy pic thanks to the awesome camera on my PDA... was interested to see that the 'Today Tonight' logo on the drivers door was covered over with white tape, whereas the one on the passenger's door (below) was still visible.

Also spotted a red ABC Commodore Wagon in a Wilson Parking lot in the city today - no pics of it though.

Maybe it was the white magnets that media station usually have in the car.. i know when i was doing work at a Ford dealership, Ch 7 and Ch9 cars had white magnets that we HAD to put over the stations logo when out on road tests. same deal with WApol vehicles, also had to put a big orange bag over the lightbar that said "Vehicle under testing"....

Magnets on the TV cars are to stop break ins mainly (you'll also notice the cage around the gear in the wagon part). If they leave their logo's on the side the kids think they are in heaven and break in...

The magnetic panels also help minimise being identified, in situations where being obviously identified as media could result in inflaming a situation or attracting unwanted attention 8)

Yuck. The paint job smacks of sensationalism and the courier looks even worse than the rodeos.

As well as the Ford Courier utes, Channel 9 is now running a few Volkswagen Caddy vans as crew cars. 5 doors with extra seats, cage and fitout in the rear. No signage. I'll try and get some pics at some stage.
