Came across the following article...here.

2 things...

Today, the job is done at night by a Saab 9000, driven at more than 220kmh to check there isn't too much grime on the runway.

Why use a Saab...would be much more fun in a T

and can I have that job...sounds like a lot of fun, and all legal too.

I couldnt open the article...

but sounds like a farily dangerous job... night time driving at 220kph to check for grime? what happens if you end up into a spin?

ok

cn open it but with this link... (I shoulda looked)

Worked out there for 28 years and the only vehicles I have ever seen are Nissan Patrols and 4wd utes. And I do work nights often. Mind u it would be fun to take the t out there but SACL would book u for speeding.

The fricton test at adelaide used to be done with a GTHO!!!!

Now they just use a crappy 4wd

The ASA fireys once got asked if they want clearance for takeoff when they were testing their new ss ute
