Vic Pol Sportwagons

[vsiicalais]

Just thought I would let u guys know that the cops are getting VE Sportwagons. Our local cops had a brand new Omega today, I havent got any pics as yet but will get some in the next few days if possible. Didnt look too bad either considering its white.

Wouldnt surprise me if they bring out unmarked ones as well

I reckon it'll look like a sportwagon cop car!

[pow3rslave]

The Divvy vans here in Vic aren't just a ute, they're Crewmans.

Haha

The amount of times ive been in a pub and heard the chant "Your Goin Home in the Back of a Divvy Van..."

[CSP]

I've only ever heard em called paddy wagons. Divvy must be a southerner thing. Just like stoby pole. They're bloody telegraph or light poles! And a Berlina is a car not a Jam Dohnut...

[pow3rslave]

don't have stobys in vic, i thought that was a sa thing and they were more a girder outta the ground than a standard pole

Drunken singing of "Who's going home in the back of a Divvy van" doesn't have the same touch with "paddy wagon". Divvy van it is

"Paddy" Wagon is thought to be of early 1900's New York City Police origins as a result of so many Irish born Police... I.e. Police wagons driven by Irishmen (Paddys).

hahah thats retarded.. at least divvy is short for Divisional, not a story

[CSP]

Every Police vehicle belongs to a division. Not just the vans! Calling it a divvy van makes no sense. That would mean you call the cars divvy cars and the bikes divvy bikes.

There's some history to the name given to a Paddy Wagon at least. Not just stating the the bleeding obvious (that a Police vehicle is from a division) in shortened bogan speak.
