The SJA ones are non turbo tho they dont have the turbo bonnet scoop. I like the light bars tho ive seen the new ones on the SV6 highway patrols cars they are sweet.

Been trying to get these. The only vehicles that they house at the depot are the 4 buses. Saw a land cruiser with there details on it as well. I would suspect the car is with the owner at his house. Will keep trying

This may or may not belong here, but what the hell. Fresh off the press, all new 2007 Mercedes Ambulances, New shape and all, will have led lightbars fitted.

Yep not due on the road for nearly another year, the inside will be redesigned to accommodate the amount of new equipment filtering through. A committee makes a model in the back out of cardboard for guys and girls to comment on before it gets the all clear.
The Merc's and VW's are actually made in the same factory, they recently sent one over for all the services to have a look at (slightly wider etc).

I'd be interested to see these advanced life vehicles, I'd thought there was only SJA's.

Beenj around since 1994/1995 will take some pics for you next time im down that way they have 4 vehicles and a xr8 paramedic car thats all i know unsure of how busy they are but they do alot of sporting events.
Inregards to the new designed merc you should see alot of the ambulance services sending there units to auction with cabinets etc in back as they cant be put into the new trucks.

There is also now a red storm ute that has been fitted out with lightbars. Was out the front of the depot today. Still no xr8 at the front.
