I watched the first episode, wasnt too bad. The best bit i thought was if you noticed in the background when they were talking to the bikie guy, there was a silver Astra driving across the nature strip to do a U turn.

I think what is going to happen is that they are going to play up each situation a bit more for TV. The reason i say it is because last year i was talking to one of the guys i used to deal with at work. He is a fabricator and was saying the man he uses to repairs his machines is based in NZ. He comes over a few times a year to service the machines. What he does is bring the component parts in his carry on luggage. Had been doing it for years with absolutely no problem from customs. But one day he came in, they were filming, they pulled him up, made a big deal of it and wouldnt let him in to the country. He had to have the parts shipped back to NZ, and he had to fly back. So the same will happen i reckon. Highway Patrol is not an interesting job, so each situation they have they are going to have to make the most of to keep the show going.

Cant wait to see an episode based on young kids/fast cars. I live just behind fitzroy st, so im betting a few dollars i show up somewhere, even though I drive like my nan haha

LOL that's gold.

the other thing i found funny was when the cop said that when she was doing 151km/h the car would be screaming its head off and she should be able to hear it easily, as if, maybe if she was in a hyundai excel. i lol'd at that comment for a while.

asif a bmw would be screaming at that speed... made for the autobahn ;)

I live 5mins from chapel, and have never had issues, but i avoid the actual street in the 32, stagea FTW

I think the only import owners who will end up on the show will be the idiot muzzas on chapel or around acland st... and i agree the NZ show is better!

Exactly right, Fingers crossed the show doesnt gain a massive following, the last thing we want is for it to stay on TV for years and end up as over blown and ridiculous like COPS.....

if they expanded it to being more than just traffic cops then it would be a better show, but then it would be "behind the line" not "highway patrol".

Maybe just give them a mobile phone, and hope that they'd stop :P

a mate of mine from trade school recently bought a red minitruck from this guy... and the guy said he was defected a while back and there was a camera crew that got the whole thing... was in st.kilda

so maybe that will be on there, aparently he gave a bit of a show of the minitruck's tricks for the camera when the cops told him not too haha

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
