Predictions for 18kph over..?? is it about $80-$100?
    I reckon it could be anywhere between $80 to $120.

    Save up to $150 max just in case.
    Then you may have some spending money left over,
    to buy something for the bike.

    Re-read my post, did I say $400,000 a pop, or did I say around $400,000 for them?

    And who said they're jealous? You seem a little over defensive there Marty, I know you guys are sick of getting shit but I didn't see any mud flinging going here other than one poster saying it pisses him off. Which is fair enough, he probably pays taxes which fund these vehicles and it's a free country.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    SOCO = Scene of Crime Officer.
    AOS = Armed Offenders Squad.
    TSG = I can't remember exactly what the letters stand for but they are they para-military, anti terrorism, highly specialised section of the AOS.

TSG work very closely with the SAS, so they'll get part of the defence budget to top up their police $$ input.
    They'll really need those 4wd's if Ahmed Zaoui decides to go 'postal'.
    Do they have Stalkers in them so that the cops can pay their way when they're not battling Bin Laden? :raghead:

    Only 6 people? Seems easy enough, I count 8 on this vehicle. And should be a hell of a lot less than 400K

    EDIT Found another one, even cheaper, courtesy of Mr Biff.

    argh but we didn't buy the hummer, which was suited, due to our poor relations with the states and instead we bought some lemons!
