Unless you have the spare cash, storage space, like polishing them, and taking them to specialist shows, or run a business which requires an old fire engine to make money; I just can't see the point of owning one.

I was expecting a picture of a Range Rover 6x6 to be honest, although the trailer looks useful for a Scout Group  :wink:

I saw that, though I suspect so will lots of others and it will sell for silly money.

In all my years as a fireman I never ever saw a fire appliance with alloy wheels and I travelled all over the UK to liaise with other brigades :-k

I'm sorry but I think you must be mistaken :doh:

Probably from a station that had to cover an area full of night clubs, the alloys have spinners fitted, and when the blue lights are flashing the under vehicle blue neons play a part. :wink:
