Got a few pics today of some WApol... I believe VF104 was enroute to shooting incident in jandakot P2..
Enjoy

JV105 (Holden Astra)



VF104 (on priority)



AJ210(far shot) seen at Gas leak in Kewdale

The Astra's look pretty sweet, however, the lightbars are too big

I agree a led lightbar would be sweet but i think the wapol look at normal lightbar $800 led lightbar can go from $2000 upwards.

On the night of the Maddington Tanker fire - I spoke to the guys driving JV-105 and as its a diesel motor, they would prefer a sedan over the hatch. They say its alot noiser than other vehicles.

are there any other astras floating around? or just the one based at canningvale? i think its a great move to have smaller cylinder cars for GD jobs.

From the top of my memory, I think there are a few around, scattered around the WAPOL district.

I think Tom, or one of the other longer serving member here may be able to shed some light on this.

The only other Holden Astra I have listed is for WT901

There are a few around although I've seen more WRX's than Astras.

There was a silver Astra parked out the Public Trustee Building on Hay St last week.

Sadly the WAPOL Astra's are autos and feature a de-rated motor, unlike the manuals which aren't. I've only ever seen a blue and a white one apart from WT901.

Autos have CDTi on the rear badge in silver and the manuals have CDTi badged in red so it's easy to distingush the two types.

I've still got my black one and it still impresses me each time I drive it.
