wow, I would have thought the volvo would have had waaaay better handling than the american cruiser with its springy suspension. But then again I've never driven the saab before, and just sticking it in to the "european car" category.
Bet the saab win the fuel economy comp though

Great photos Tom! Thanks. What is it though about UK police cars and ugly paint jobs? :-) They're not ugly, they are VISIBLE. Nice luminous yellow with blue, all reflective, and good quality LED Lightbars (on most of them at least). So good, that even the Swedish are changing the livery of their po...

that'll get everyones attention! actually, i was just thinking before. eastern states cop cars have shit light bars in general - -but that light bar is pretty schmick! Looks can be deceiving...viewed from diagonal angle this lightbar only has a weak rotating beacon to offer. The LEDs only kick in f...

AHA! Saw this vehicle (or something same colour and Lightbar) in Kensington/VicPark a few weeks ago. Had pulled a car over. Those LEDs in the Lightbar nearly burnt my eyeballs out of my eyesocket. Good Work! And the reflective tape wasn't bad either. Personally I like the blue colour, but admittadly...

Thats a camera phone? Geesh, technology has leapt forward....I need a new phone

Ah! Makes sense. And now with the different styled sprinters that is no longer needed.

BUT: What about all the police cars and other white bonnet vehicles?

SJA and most other Aussie ambulances are now going with green - the accepted international standard colour for ambulances. Who else has a green colour scheme? I only know of South Australia, but I don't know if still current. NSW is predominantly red/white with HiVisibility red+yello, queensland wh...

I have been wondering what the original reason behind the colours of ambulances last century were. White is fine, but why the Black 'nose'? Must have been something uniting, as all Ambulance services Australiawide had these colours on their vehicles until the introduction of the Sprinters.

Any ideas?
