Title: Armoured
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on February 24, 2006, 21:51:47: I was on my way into Wakefield the other morning after the 'school-run' when a semi-familiar shape was behind me as I pulled out of the school.
It was an armoured 110 :shock:

I'd been told that West Yorkshire Police had some, in fact that every force in the country had to 'be prepared' (I think it was -but don't quote me- Bob Morrison, on 'LRNet.com')
Any way they're apparantly ex-Ireland vehicles & V8's

It certainly heeled over as it negotiated the roundabout to join the dual-carriageway back up to the force workshop.
Well, I guess that's where it was heading, as I've followed one up there before to the gates

'Grab-shot', so apolgies for quality

Not seen it around before that I can remeber, but I'd hate to have to winch that one out of a muddy hole :roll:
