Wonder how long it will be till they are involved in a high speed pursiut and loose it or prang it, who foots the repair bill then............. my guess would be the tax payers

Doubt they'll use it in a pursiut, stritcly a community liason thing.

Weatherill Park police have rex (could be an sti), that they use and you'd be suprised at the amount of "hoons" who go up and have a chat to cops when they park the thing where "hoons" gather.

Pretty good idea i think.

And, the police force definately don't pay for the cars, they're loaners. I know of one case, where Mazda, gave a station a brand new 6 MPS, and it was t-boned in a week :-)

How exactly do you ram a car that is pursuing you from behind, can out brake, out corner and out accelerate most of the cars on the road?

Figure of speech...

Well, if the cops pull up side by side with the "criminals", all they have to do is swing the steering hard to the right!

Or...

Slam on the brakes and watch the Exige become crushed under the crims car...

Maybe I've been watching too many Hollywood movies... :D

what if theyre on the left?

then you look like a fool, unless you are doing it to get extra momentum so when you hit them they go flying into a gutter, jump 10 feet into the air and land in the back of a track carrying hay and no-one gets hurt...... well thats how it goes in the movies.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
