Neat pictures BB. The police seem to go more for vans than cruisers in your neck of the woods.

I thought that was a photoshop at first Aaron. That's funny as heck.

Hi again Wheels.

Actually they don't, it's just that the vans were over-represented at the days that I photographed.
I'll see if I can get some shots of ordinary police cars.

Cheers,

Maria.
 
Okay, I have found on the Internet some photos of Australian Police Cars to show you. Some of these I haven't seen in Queensland, but that might be because they are from a different state. They are mainly Holden Commodores and Fords, because that is what is mainly produced for over here. Although, US could be getting a police car from us that could take over from all those fuel inefficient cars you use, especially when properly tuned to go faster.

1. Queensland Highway Patrol Cars Outside Suncorp Stadium.
2. Queensland Highway Patrol Red Holden Monaro.
3. Standard Queensland, Australia Police Car.
4. NSW Highway Patrol Cars Parked, Only One Not Queensland is Yellow.
5. Yellow Ford Falcon Highway Patrol Car- Assume NSW.

Okay, for my last post at the moment, I have this Police BMW Motorcyle.
Actually, I don't think it is Queensland as I have never seen this on a
Police Motorcyle Before, Possibly NZ as I have seen a picture of an NZ
Police Car with similar colours...

Actually, here's a quote from GM executive Bob Lutz regarding the Holden's possible North American debute with Los Angeles PD:
At the moment, there's three major contenders for patrol vehicles:
Chrysler's Charger
Chevrolet's Malibu
Ford's Taurus (The Crown Vic is now discontinued)

Plus you have two major condenders in the SUV market:
Ford's Expedition
Chevrolet's Tahoe

As for going faster, the Charger and Taurus are very fast and the Tahoe 2 wheel drive is factory certified speed calibrated for 140 MPH (225.30 KPH) pursuit
 

That's a BMW R1200RT-P from New Zealand. 8) Nice shot!
*whispers* Just ask the beemer nut here. *Points@self*

Actually on the Saturday or Sunday I watched a US movie called "Smokey and The Bandit" and I reckon that they would have had about eighteen to twenty different colours on the Police Cars in that movie! That figure is not including police bikes of which I think there were about four or five different ones featured! So there you go. Odd fact.
 
A couple of photos from the museum recently, where we had a small exhibit of cars and motorcycles open for kids and their parents:



A brand new Skoda Superb V6.









An old Ford.







Ariel Square Four.



BMW K1100RS.



The motorcycles.
