Re: St John Ambulance

Here's hoping we get pics! I have pics - but am reluctant to post on a public forum just yet because it's not totally public yet. I'm assuming there will be a big hoo ha about it in the media soon. It will be used a lot of the time to transport multiple country patients to the city and back. It has...

Re: St John Ambulance

The new "mega" Patient transfer vehicle for S.J.A. is nearly completed and will be on the road soon. It will be able to take 10+ patients at once. Based on a coach body built on a M.A.N. truck chassis.
I've seen it & it's BIG!!

Re: Speed Camera's

Apparently another fixed speed camera currently being installed Kwinana Freeway northbound between Farrington and South St Yes - works are progressing now.

Re: W.A Fire Appliances

Seen a new CLP on Kwinana Freeway this morning heading south. Was still in the process of being built. Had a Bronto mounted on it, with the bodywork in the usual red colour. The Scania cab was still painted white though. Otherwise looked the same as CLP 3. New ones are suppose to be complete direct...

Re: St John Ambulance

Saw the Rav 4 Ambulance for the first time today. Not a fan of Toyota's, but it look alright. I'm guessing that they have been around for a while & have replaced the Forester's I'm sure someone will lets us know!

Re: Speed Camera's

Apparently the next two have been installed... Mitchell Fwy southbound before Karrinyup exit and Roe Hwy Canning Vale Yes - the one on Roe Highway Willeton was being installed by crane on Monday morning. Can't confirm if it is flashing yet though! It's in a sneaky position too - at the end of the c...

Re: Speed Camera's

I'm assuming the operator set the box up in that position & the van coming towards the camera wasn't speeding, but it has pinged your girlfriend going the other way for speeding. I wasn't aware that they could pick cars up on "the other side of the road" If that is true, i've learnt so...

Re: Other incidents/minor fires etc - 2012/2013

LOL - The wife & i were in that very lift about half an hour before that happened! We discussed how dodgy the lift seamed cause the air-cond wasn't working in that particular lift! FRS were there for a couple of hours extracting the people. Really bad way to spend a Saturday night. I hope the pe...

Spotted the other day, The Iveco Daily 4x4 dealers demo unit with a slip on unit on the street outside DFES Headquarters in Cockburn Central. Heaps of ground clearance on that baby!!!
