No expense spared in London then...our boyz in the sticks started to use Toyota pick ups

Down in Devon & Cornwall they get given BMW’s. They must dream of getting given a L405 or, for that matter, a Ford Kuga! Wink

Saw a silver L405 Range Rover with Met police signage. It was a 67 plate.
Strangely it was near High Wycombe on the roundabout over J4 of M40. Last week I think, or week before. Time flies when you’re having fun.

I believe they are part of either RPG or DPG......Royalty/Diplomatic Protection Group.

Some years ago, the bomb squad had fatties as well because the BMWs at the time didn't have the load carrying capacity weight wise; don't know if that's still the case.

Now all they need to do is sort those motorcycles out and chop those out for something half decent too! Wink

Wimbledon is definately out in the sticks - some evenings it can be nigh on impossible to source an avocado!

No, my rural lot in west wales seem to have a real mix of bizarre panda cars but the kugas seem most common Current Fleet:-

"Some of the cars, which retail at more than £50,000 each, will be on the road by Autumn."

Didn't think dealers we giving that kind of discounts, must have a lot of stock to clear.
