Thanks for posting. Always remember the idiot thrusting a wooden post into the car park. Again, I doubt most of them knew what the hell they we're rioting for.

[SmoothCriminal]

That's the kind of policing tactics they should have used in last years riots!

Just relating it to pistonheads for a minute, what is the car at 4:07?




Rover 800 would be my first guess but the back looks like a Peugeot, but it looks too big, and I didn't think the Met at that time used Peugeots?

[TheHeretic]

A peugeot something or other?

[Digby]

Peugeot 405.

[mybrainhurts]

Peugeot 309

[mybrainhurts]

Rioters should have been shot.

I've been paying for their free lifestyle since then.

[AJS-]

Consensus on a Peugeot then? Too big for a 309 surely. 405 possibly, or even the big 605?

How about this one then? On it's roof at 7:40

[Terminator X]

At Uni at the time, you'll be pleased to hear that I never paid a penny of the hated poll tax.

TX.

And why is it hated?

[Burrito]

I'm reckoning 405.

It's hated by the parasites who didn't want to pay for the services they receive, preferring others to pay for them.

Or possibly Sierra.Escort was my first choice, maybe even an RS, then I turned my head upside down and thought Sierra..

As I stated earlier though, the Pug is definately a 405.

What? You mean pay a fair share, rather than a house of 17 paying the same as a single person living in the house next door? How ridiculously unfair! Still, I would like other poster to tell us why it was so hated.

Ah



Too flat down the side. The 405 has a pronounced hump where the boot joins the rear window.

Lol you've hooked one small house with 5 adults vs mahoosive mansion with one?

TX.

Sierra mk1.



Edit, may be a early Vauxhall Senator?
