Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004MOD LandRovers
While in Folkstone a couple of weeks ago I saw two army LandRovers that looked like the type the RUC? use (or used to) in Northan Ireland. They had "confidential telephone freephone 0800 (then the number)" on the side. Are these used over here now? They were with several Army personal (at least they looked like army). They military number plates on them. Richard > While in Folkstone a couple of weeks ago I saw two army LandRovers that > looked like the type the RUC? use (or used to) in Northan Ireland.

I hope to never see them again after that disgusting show of strength by the Asian youth. Aw don't blame the poor wee landys because of what others did, I miss seeing convoys of armoured Combis hairing about looking for trouble. Once saw 22 of them coming out of one road after a parade. Put me in mind of the start of Jim'll fix it when all those kids poured out of the roller! A mate in the main stores tells me that they get less than 2 mph what with all that armour to carry around. All rendered useless of course cos as soon as a dear cop drops one, they have to drive along with the door 6" open to get a bit of ventilation!
