They may well be Equinoxes. They couldnt be given away those things, as per the ZB Commodore.

Thought 1 i spotted a few days ago, that was an astra rs in grey(looked too small to be a toilet door)which had the usual aerials. Certainly fast enough for them IMO, as i have a 2020 RSV which goes really good, getting to real silly speeds real quick(not that i have tested aye. )

From the dash shot in this article, sure looks like an Equinox.

They had a white Hiace van in the ’80s, (builders van) complete with a ladder on the roof that used to cruise the Foxton Straights. The giveaway on mufti cars is the second aerial.

You’ll have to have great eyes to spot that extra aerial in time when the mufti is coming towards you on the Foxton Straights.!
Hope they don't have the bike rack blocking the reg number. that is a traffic offence !. And the loaded roof rack will use more fuel .

I saw that too. Nice lady pulled over and let me past, then followed and waited for me to overtake!

Hyperbole right here; "Police are introducing a new fleet of unmarked vehicles - and motorists are warned any car around them could now be police." "any car"?

Yup, gotta watch those ‘84 civics.

What's ironic is they're mostly runout rejected Holdens they would have got dirt cheap. For car people they're actually quite distinctive as theres so few of them about.

I am sure 90% of us aren't going to notice any difference. When they do ping some poor bugger for doing 130kph when passing, I hope they take note of the guy doing 80kph with a line of cars behind him that their victim has just managed to escape from.

Yeah, right.

If they are only going 80, should be pretty easy to pass doing only 100, no need to go 130.

gets you back on your own side of the road quicker, which is safer.

Damn right, get it over with ASAP.

The hardest passing is when someone towing a trailer is being held up. I have a RAV4 diesel and I find 130kph quite an acceptable speed if you are trying to clear a couple of vehicles. Passing would be the only time I ever run the risk of getting a ticket.

should have passed them both at the same time (#24)
