Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          Maca - that spot near QUT used to be 2 parking bays, but miraculously got transformed into a loading zone the same time they lowered the speed limit in the city to 40km/h. Coincidence??
          I have also seen a Black Vito on 20's parked on Brendale Rd very badly (not a very wide shoulder), was going the other way but suspect it was one. (anyone with a 2wd commercial will know that 20's on a Vito is an illegal modification in QLD).
          Oh yeah, I'm allowed to be cynical, I worked at ####### for 5 years...

            Don't think I would have the balls to do that, the cop would get me for something else aswell, they can always find something to ping you with. Its in their DNA

              Also, spotted an older Holden Ute (VS) with a white Combi type canopy next to Anzac Ave, yesterday, catching traffic going towards the Bruce Highway.
              Can't take the credit for this - I found it on this Facebook page.

              Same way there's a mysterious 'No Standing' zone right near the stop sign going from Musgrave to Station Road at Indooroopilly?

                    spotted the blue one's brother, which is RED 776RIG on the usual Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road spots over the weekend

                    I'll call my brother and we'll park our Caddies together and take some pics

                    looks like the Merc Vitos are retiring!

                      Blue caddy wagon on Samford Road Keperra yesterday, down the big hill of course. With the dark tint it's hard to spot the camera gear on the back window, but it was most certainly one.

                        Couldn't they use Hyundai iLoads as speed traps, and Caddy's as patrol cars?

                          Something you can normally use to pick the undercover cars is the little antenna for their two way systems. They look like an old school mobile antenna. You can see it in the photo of the Jetta Maca posted.

                                Second that Motion, then there is the knock on the door at 3.30am in the morning and the Morgue visit.
                                It is normally not the driver, committing the offence that is killed or injured, 9 times out 10 it is the innocent party they hit.
                                If the Police have reason to pull you over, 99% of the time it is for an offence they have witnessed you committ.
