Its just another way to skin a cat. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81637-aerial-speed-checks/page/2/#findComment-1286651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are signs for it on the Mornington Peninsula and the sign is a picture of a chopper. Also saw a chopper hovering with a patrol car hiding when the Dandenong bypass first opened. So only saw it once. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81637-aerial-speed-checks/page/2/#findComment-1286654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd make an absolute killing.Surprised it hasn't happened yet to be honest. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81637-aerial-speed-checks/page/2/#findComment-1292237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
