Thought I was tripping

Thought I had been spiked today when I saw a coach that's an ambulance so when I go home I googled it, basically it's an ambulance with a restrictor 65PMH max

It's not an emergency ambulance, it's just a medically equipped coach for taking people sick on holidays etc, as such, it's speed limited just the same as other similar motors are.

Name also suggests it could be serving elephants.

If it's equipped then I guess it's a good idea, a coach that can cater for several people with special needs, got to say it looked weird when I first seen it :neutral:

They take severely physically disabled people to Lourdes - Sir Jimmy 'now then now then' Saville used to go with them sometimes. Free trip, I suppose somethings got to give!

I saw a police train once.

Still not sure why. But it was an engine and one carriage painted in white with the words police covering the length of one.

@ WoopWoop, apparently, Police trains are for patrolling the nation’s tracks in a bid to highlight rail trespass and vandalism

I shouldn't laugh but it's funny how it was robbed and vandalised

Years ago in Manchester I saw an army tank painted white with police wrote on it and the turret had a giant steel plate attached to it, I am guessing it was for raiding illegal warehouses.

Prodomains - they have some hardcore police vehicles in Ireland
