Did I see Gordon Broon's motorcade this morning?

[BlueSmoke]

Just heading out of Leeds on the M621, I'd say 7 Police Bikes, a Jag XJ (previous gen) with blues in the grille and a bunch of dark blue Ford people carriers with blues in the grilles or on the bottom of the windscreens, and there might have been a couple of marked cars but can't remember now.

You may have seen Gordon Broon's car this morning, but as I don't know who on earth he is, I couldn't possibly comment

And you let that stop you? no commitment, people today.

Slightly O/T but has anyone seen the great big American 4x4 police motorcade with amourplate and all?


Think it has been discussed on here before.


What is the truck?

What are they transporting?

Any pics? Seen last week in Essex.

Don't know if it's related but spotted motorcade (6 or 7 deep) and photographers outside Radisson Blue hotel in Leeds yesterday afternoon. Were waiting for something. Police in a Range Rover too.

Big court case on again I think - regularly see this kind of thing every month or so taking various routes out/into Leeds.

Yeah, but it tends to be armoured truck surrounded by Range Rovers back and front, helicopter overhead too. Plus motorbikes stopping/blocking traffic off at junctions and the like.

Yup, they don't ferry the lags about in Jaguars..... yet!

I have already been asked why I didn't crash into it and go out in a blaze of glory, but I couldn't due to the crash barrier

I saw the Tory bus heading over Rushworth Moor last night towards Leeds so could have been related to that.
