Sited today in Wetherill Park.
Fairly obvious but you'd have to watch out if they come up behind you.

Thanks for the heads up. Nice chaser. What next? - NSW cops on R1's or better still Kwakas?

That's not a copper, it's a smart boy racer who's trying to avoid speeding fines

It is sitting outside a sandwich shop so it could just be that it's the express doughnut delivery vehicle.
May well be a promotional thing hence the "Supported by Subaru" stickers etc. No radar gear or anything either by the looks.
Check out the sticker on the back left bumper though. I'm glad that bloke wasn't putting the tank stickers on in the Kwaka factory.

If the cops are loosing a pursuit, they shine the light calling for help.

Heres a thought....... hold onto your hats.......
How about printing some "Proudly Sponsored by KSRC" Stickers for tagging stuff like that. That would be a kak.

Haven't got any stickers but it would have been a laugh. Not sure the lads would've seen it that way though.
A mate who is a member of a WRX club (hold back the fully sick jokes OK) tells me these things are only promotional as pk said, and they aren't allowed to carry out any duties ie pursuits etc while in them.
Gotta wonder about the Batman seat covers though.

AFAIK Vicpolice TOG used them based at the Epping copshop when I was living near there 4-5 years ago. I was talking to one of the coppers about it and he said he would rather be in a V8 Ford or Holden with more protection at high speeds. He also said they had to have them to catch up with the boy ricers.
