It's over a year since I last saw it. It was pulling out of the road up to the Hermitage as we were pulling in. Very reassuring, and we then spanked it up to the Hermitage, weaving amongst the "mobile chicane" (campervans). What a lovely road. Built for speed. And scenic grandeur. I've gone all tingly now.

A rodeo and a legaless still aren't appealing enough I'm afraid. How about an Alfa 156 or something? At least it looks good. It'll fall to bits no slower than any Holden. Okay, so it might not have as much legroom in the back, but if you arrest the right crack whore you won't notice that. And it's a bit slower in a straight line too, but with aforementioned crack whore time may not be of the essense.

I believe it costs around 50 - 60 K to put a recruit through the 19 week recruit course. More cops mean they will need more cars for them to drive, possibly more police stations for them to work from, more administartion and non-sworn support staff and more ancillary equipment. And then there's the remote possibility that they might pay them a decent salary.
