Unmarked Police Golfs in QLD??

**Tigger** · 18-01-2013, 06:01 AM

I read in the latest MOTOR magazine, that apparantly the QLD police use unmarked Golf GTI's in their fleet of highway patrol cars.

Anyone ever seen one?

I wonder if they are just 'standard', or have been modded or chipped?

Seen one with someone pulled over in the highway near North Lakes.

Not a rumour.......

True, will not be seen on Mythbusters lol I saw one on the M1 over the Christmas break.
I walk past the police parking in Charlotte Street every weekday and see the unmarked cars at the arcade where the police like to have coffee. I usually take a photo of any new or interesting unmarked cars as i am passing.
I will keep an eye out!

I've seen one in Ascot some time ago. I think it was black. He was having a field day! Lots of 40 & 50 areas and there are a lot of traffic calming features as a lot of people try to short cut through the area.

i have seen a dark grey one sometime ago while on the bike at tamborine mountain. it had a tripod set up on the back seat to film people; so watch out for that as a bit of a give away!

Qld police have been using VWs for a few years now. See this thread with a few pics.

Undercover Cars and Speed Cameras - VWs and More

They have a silver Jetta and a black Golf GTI that I know of.
Don't think they are modified as it is hard enough trying to get fleet cars fitted with anything (bull bar etc)

I'm so used to giving it a squirt around other VW's that look modified. There goes all that fun.

I just replaced the clutch pack in a black police GTI at the dealership a week or so ago. They were even nice enough to leave the rego plates on the car!
