    Also, spotted an older Holden Ute (VS) with a white Combi type canopy next to Anzac Ave, yesterday, catching traffic going towards the Bruce Highway.
    Can't take the credit for this - I found it on this Facebook page.

    I have also seen a Black Vito on 20's parked on Brendale Rd very badly (not a very wide shoulder), was going the other way but suspect it was one. (anyone with a 2wd commercial will know that 20's on a Vito is an illegal modification in QLD).
    Oh yeah, I'm allowed to be cynical, I worked at ####### for 5 years...
    Al..
    Same way there's a mysterious 'No Standing' zone right near the stop sign going from Musgrave to Station Road at Indooroopilly?

    spotted the blue one's brother, which is RED 776RIG on the usual Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road spots over the weekend

    I'll call my brother and we'll park our Caddies together and take some pics

    looks like the Merc Vitos are retiring!

    Blue caddy wagon on Samford Road Keperra yesterday, down the big hill of course. With the dark tint it's hard to spot the camera gear on the back window, but it was most certainly one.

    Couldn't they use Hyundai iLoads as speed traps, and Caddy's as patrol cars?

    Something you can normally use to pick the undercover cars is the little antenna for their two way systems. They look like an old school mobile antenna. You can see it in the photo of the Jetta Maca posted.

    See what you think when some clown on a phone or speeding takes out a freind or family member..or the poor bastard that has to pull the body out of the wreck.

    Second that Motion, then there is the knock on the door at 3.30am in the morning and the Morgue visit.
    It is normally not the driver, committing the offence that is killed or injured, 9 times out 10 it is the innocent party they hit.
    If the Police have reason to pull you over, 99% of the time it is for an offence they have witnessed you committ.
