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.

i can remeber this time when a guy got pissed off and stole a armerd vehicle from an army baracks and went around perth in it (luckly with no ammo. in it) , my dad was working on a building site the guy drove past in it and he waved to my dad ,lol,its not like something of that danger happens every day , but even if that vehicle is used once for a non-training exercise during its carrer isnt it worth it?

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.
