If they put extra roof lights on, can we get away with paying you even less?

I drive a DAF. Am very happy with it, and see it as fit for purpose without being extravagant. Although I have no idea what they, or the competition cost, unlike my knowledge of cars.
If I wasn't paying for his Volvo, I would have no opinion.

That's just it, we have a purchase team that evaluates what incidents we attend and provides vehicles that allow us to deal with the incident. It's not a case of being extravagant but providing the best tool for the job. It's false economy to rock up in a vehicle that's not fit for purpose then keep the motorway shut waiting for a suitable vehicle to arrive. We evaluated a L200 but it wasn't suitable for our needs.

If it was up to me you lot would be driving round in transit connects , plenty of room to sling all your cones in the back :lol: :lol:

Just as well one of our guys was in a Disco on Thursday night, a large pick up lost control in the snow and collided with our patrol car writing it off and putting the officer in hospital, I shudder to think what injuries he would have received in a flimsy van.

Transit is only 4 star, disco is 5 star, I think I'd trust the star ratings instead of splitting hairs over 2%

The star ratings can't be compared over different years as cars become more safe. So the Disco from 2017 5 stars may not be as good as 4 stars in 2018 for the Tranny.
The Disco has better % ratings for child occupant and 10% higher rating for pedestrians (possibly leading to an extra star) but not helping HA drivers at all.
I just have your best interests at heart.

Our purchasing team look at the current NCAP ratings when looking at vehicles for conversion, I don't know what their criteria is.

That was one of ours from Cumbria, I was on duty when it was hit. My colleague was very lucky, he'd just stopped with a multiple RTC when he was hit.

Old John, have you had that from new? I used to drive for a farmer who had a half dozen Scania that same colour. We were on Bulkers and hay and straw. Southwest Scotland

His wallet? No, no, that crane can hardly lift his toolbox.
He needs Ainscough for the wallet.!!
