Police Tractor
Went to a car show today and seen a police tractor, thought to myself (Why). Had to ask what do you use it for, bet you cannot guess the answer
Cost £78,000 Blue lights, yellow and white graphics,siren the lot.

I swear they had these already
It's to raise crime awareness and prevent "rural thefts from farms" as far as I remember?
Would be one hell of a high-speed chase!

Sorry missed last post. But could not believe the police would spend that kind of money as a demonstrator.

The police /public never paid for it!
The tractor is a demo that's loaned out to the police for display purposes at rural shows.
The only money the police will have spent on it is the livery and lights.
It's Evolution Baby!

They would easily catch people on the M4 with a tractor, the average speed on that cr*p piece of tarmac is regularly zero!!
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Somebody found a copy of "Yakety Sax" and has gone to an awful lot of trouble to get a car chase to speed up and play it to?
