  • Unmarked Police Golfs in QLD??

    I read in the latest MOTOR magazine, that apparantly the QLD police use unmarked Golf GTI's in their fleet of highway patrol cars.

    Anyone ever seen one?

    I wonder if they are just 'standard', or have been modded or chipped?

    Seen one with someone pulled over in the highway near North Lakes.

    Not a rumour.......

      True, will not be seen on Mythbusters lol I saw one on the M1 over the Christmas break.
      I walk past the police parking in Charlotte Street every weekday and see the unmarked cars at the arcade where the police like to have coffee. I usually take a photo of any new or interesting unmarked cars as i am passing.
      I will keep an eye out!

        I've seen one in Ascot some time ago. I think it was black. He was having a field day! Lots of 40 & 50 areas and there are a lot of traffic calming features as a lot of people try to short cut through the area.

          i have seen a dark grey one sometime ago while on the bike at tamborine mountain. it had a tripod set up on the back seat to film people; so watch out for that as a bit of a give away!

              They have a silver Jetta and a black Golf GTI that I know of.
              Don't think they are modified as it is hard enough trying to get fleet cars fitted with anything (bull bar etc)

                I'm so used to giving it a squirt around other VW's that look modified. There goes all that fun.

                  I just replaced the clutch pack in a black police GTI at the dealership a week or so ago. They were even nice enough to leave the rego plates on the car!

                      Yep - there is a dark grey one based in the Metro South district, seen it on the gateway a few times pulling people over, and at the maccas near Mt Gravatt a few times.

                              No, it means sitting in a caddy all day manning a speed scam... Plus you'd have to drive a camry most of the time...
