I read in the Metro today that Tony Blair is getting an armoured car built for £200,000. It will also be able to protect against gas attacks.

The words im all right jack spring to mind.

He seems to be changing cars alot lately. Maybe he's showing his true colours.

Started of an "I'm one of the people" Voyager, probably bought it off his mate GW .

Moved on to an Omega. Still down with the plebs but with enough poke get around the island.

Latley he's obviously borrowed one of Big John's Jags to pose around outside UN meetings in...

...afterall can't be shown up by Chirac in his S8.

I suspect the armoured car is a shrewd move, would really cool if it was a Landrover Deffender . It's more likely to be a Range Rover like the they one shot-up in CAR last month, isn't it?.

It will be british, a Jag no less, coachworked by some specialist company in Surrey if I remeber right from the Times yesterday.

It will be three tonnes in weight but still able to go up to 150mph (the words lead weight, and big brakes come to mind), the passenger cell is able to wothstand a Nato level hand grenade explosion or something, and it even has a speaker system that the occupants inside can communicate with people on the outside. Thats all I can remember from what I read, by all accounts it's going to be shared around a bit, as the queen, tony and ol' fat jags etc. are high profile targets for al quedea.

If they get tony, it would be a good thing I reckon...only good things to some out of thi sbloody war saga...

From memory I think its going to be built in Holland.

Shocking really, killing him should be made easier not more difficult. Still, I suppose we can seek solace in the fact that if we go to war he's out on his ear as PM...

Don’t forget about the rest of the population.

I hope they are both in it when someone runs over it in a tracked vehicle. I can just see the headlines “Two killed in trip to catipilla factory”

I think it is an excellent idea. It should have 1 forward gear, and a full tank of gas.
And Tony should drive it.

What? Handing the mantle of power to Gordon Brown? You're not serious?...

Well let us hope he's practicing what he preaches and this barge has got a 70mph limiter. After all doesn't his government believe speed kills?

Edited to say I don't want that barge behind me when I have to do an emergency stop in the Porker or on a motorbike.
