Watch Out For 05 Forester Gt's

[INASNT]

Seems the cops are using subarus again.

Spotted a dark black with dark tinted unmarked 05 forester gt pulling over a car on the monash freeway last week.

... dark black...

As opposed to light black huh...

* sorry - can't resist being a smartass

The '05 GTs look pretty good on paper. More oomph than a standard WRX. My P's just got an '04 with a sunroof the size of a squash court. Very nice - albeit buffety.

i thought theyd been using them for ages? ive always seen em out in Forresters

[Jamezilla]

Stonnington (Prahran) TMU use an '04 XT - silver and green ones.

They have a black Magna too.

Saw a speed camera on the way to work today - was Commode wagon with the camera equipment in a custom cut-out hole in the bumper. No more sticking the box on the naturestrip it seems...

If they only spent half that much time and money on improving the shit roads in victoria with all the renenue they are making from those cameras.

[inark]

not to mention all the money spent on researching better ways to hide the f*kin things.

i see them all the time on east boundary road near my house... there hasnt been an accident let alone a fatal one on that road for years... since ive been in the area actually and ive been in the area for 10 years yet theres always one because theres a lot of need for one on that stretch of road

[R31Nismoid]

you've only just realised they are using em?

along with probably 20-30 other models on the market of various manufacturers

Its a case of Captain Obvious this thread

[INASNT]

Havent seen any in my area.

Off topic, but what's with massive sunroofs?

My mate has a 206GTi with doors and sunroof that are almost bigger than the car itself!

[Subaru_GT]

The sunroof opens both ways, panoramic.

I also saw a black XT on Princes HWY on saturday night too. It pulled over another car that was speeding.

P.S - The last Forester GTs eneded production in 2002. Replaced by the XTs - apparently insurance companies don't like the letters "GT" much.

Could be a little different in VIC but a camera mounted in the cop car? Surely that can't be right...

In NSW there has to be ample amounts of warning before you even get close to the fixed speed camera. Someone car to explain?

[R32Big_boy]

Not in Victoria. here the governement tries to hide them from view so they can catch those evil people going at 53km/h.

I know what you mean in syd though, when i was up there a few months ago in the "shire" there were 5 sings before a speed camera. they make it very obverious for the driver up there, pitty they have shit roads though...

[satanic]

I feel for you all In Sydney, you'd seriously need to be blind to miss all the signs up to the camera. Mind you, heaps of people still get done for it

[crack]

seen a dark blue unmarked BA ute twice in the eastern suburbs. both times had pulled someone over.

[NickR33]

I hate those evil cameras mounted on the dash, with the radar on the front numberplate... always on 90's magnas and the like... have been done a couple of times within a km of my house (65km/h yay!...not)... the only way you can tell them from behind when they are parked on the left is the tell tale cb style attenna

LOL... i know all too well about the black magna... doing the rounds at a certain carpark in prahran

I saw a gutsy mobile speed camera operator parked in his commodore on the side of the western ring road on Sunday! :lol: sneaky...

[SKYL9]

i live in mentone and allways see blue rav4's as speed cameras in my area

[dezz]

i see 1 almost daily on my way to or from work...there is a school zone (40km/h between the set hrs) and they always have a car there....its kind of obvious, as no one else would park there....but the camera isnt really visible (its on the ground in front of the car) until its too late....

i've never been done, but 40km/h is a bloddy hard speed to stick too! lol
