They rob safeguard ATM money distribution centre (including some shoot out) with few white harriers and estima plus a rexton as their getaway car. They outrun the hilux and hiace that being used as the escort and transport vehicle. Waja dont have the power that harrier have even if its 2.4 zz series engine, + the harrier is a 4 wheeler and have high ground clearance. Polis's XC can do the job. The robbers are getting smarter nowadays and that frightens me! Maybe watching too many Oceans series kot, who knows! Max,

The 4 litre version is a common taxi car. The government here buys plenty of them (to protect the local Holden brand) and sells them off after two years at reasonable prices. A 6.0 six costs about AUD55k OTR, or about RM160k. A souped up version, made by holden special vehicles (like R3), costs upwards of AUD80k (RM240k). <a href="http://www.hsv.com.au" rel="nofollow">www.hsv.com.au</a> This is a pretty bog standard car in Australia.

Btw, they're not just cruising but also stopping cars etc. In short, doing police work. Shocking, right? Now, considering that there's only ten of those Evo's in the force (if I'm not mistaken), that's a pretty frequent sighting, don't u think? Unless you think I'm the type that attracts police everywhere I go, then I guess you'd have to reconsider before making statement/assumption like that, and saying it like it's the truth. Just because YOU don't see something, doesn't mean it's not there. No hard feelings, eh Chris? :) Chris Y,
