Seriously, do you reckon they would put a radio (am/fm) or cd player in something like that?

I am not much of a browser of the Pictures thread, and I have tried typing in police rescue in the search term and didn't find much. Are there photos of it on here?
Was shown on Ten news tonight going thru its demo paces

ABC news reported that it was never used in action. Ex-WW2 armoured car.

Saw 2 Unmarked 4WD's with full spotties and deck blasters - with the same Bearcat in the middle - heading from East Pde - Northbound towards the Curtin House. Not a bad looking beast might I say.

As you probably know, the unmarked 4WDs are TRG. The roof racks with spotties and RFI ground eliminated antennas make it stand out like the proverbial. Some of them still carry the fence jumping ladders on the roof rack.
