It was parked in the rear lot of Sydney Police Center.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the SPG BearCat.... :evil3:

Oh right - that might be the "orange" one I was referring to - it was a lighty pinky sandy orangey colour...

There is a white one - LAC prefix "MF" (not sure where that is...)

The Cronulla Jimny was white last time I saw it. It spends more time at Miranda Fair than it does anywhere else.

In Sydney, there are still a number of AWD Magna Cop Cars, and I'm guessing MMAL are still interested in fleets, even though there are no local Mitsubishis any more.

Ford should get more of that contract when Focus is made here.

Saw the Lancer at Parramatta servo today. When the chick coppa took off in it , she gave it a bootful and it revved its tits off and got nowhere. It was an auto too. I was embarrassed for the coppa !
