ArtistsRifles Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Only if you could find such a rare beast as a Panda Car!! In the Met Police area they are about the only thing rarer than an actual police officer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The closest I've been to squashing one of those, was in the Militant when it tried, unsuccessfully to overtake me on a roundabout. Fortunately he thought better of it and had to follow me another 4 miles or so up the A21. It could have been interesting had he been squashed, as his efforts to pass were filmed and are briefly on U tube! On the colour front, when my brother bought the Militant from Withams about 15 years ago,there were probably over sixty Mk1's there. As far as I remember all were Nato green and black. As far as I know all were supplied as Bronze green, even ours one of the last built in 1964. At the end of the day it's personal preferance. When I joined the TA in 1985 they were all Nato green, so I'm happy to stick with that. I also far prefer wearing wooly pully and lightweights to battle dress. No contest!!
