Adding to the running costs of diversity . . .

Jannie - yes, costs which will only increase too.

They cannot buy Landrovers any more, so that must be very expensive bespoke butch-wagen. With special compartment to keep doughnuts fresh. Note the armoured glass fold down windscreens.
Been watching too many Transformer filums.

Doonhamer - and they aren't electric apparently. Not easy to find out the price, but at least £200k seems to be a worthwhile guess.

And two PCSOs get out! I like the word "TOP" on the right side of the back, as if it's necessary to show Plod it's not the bottom bit with the wheels and skirts. Why have the Police bought them? What situation will lead to them using these vehicles? Perhaps it's to frighten the Lucy Connollys of the country into not posting hurty words?

Suspension seems a bit soft and the indicators don't work.

Penseivat - I suppose the situations they are preparing for are major riots, but while nor being used for riots they may be intended for hurty word visits. They need to justify the expense somehow, monthly returns must be filled in.

Tony - we've noticed that some modern cars seem to have tiny indicators which aren't very bright either. Can be quite difficult to spot, although some drivers don't seem to bother much with indicators anyway, we were following one of those yesterday.

Worryingly, they look a bit like the 'Civil Protection' vehicles from @Half Life ALYX'.... I think someone is getting ideas.
Cheers, Tony F.

Tony - I had to look that up, but the design does look as if it is intended to be visually intimidating, as if it isn't wholly functional.
