Policeman and ute at Yass service station - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-13/policeman-and-ute-at-yass-service-station/7024398)


I can think of quicker getaway vehicles........not capable, but a lot faster!

[Slunnie]

I'm assuming the policeman just walked up and pulled him out through the door before the vehicle got too far down the road. :D

P.S. Had a closer look - its a 130, not a Series.

Shots fired as armed offenders attempt hijack at Yass Service Centre ? Scoop Yass Valley (http://www.scoopyassvalley.com.au/featured/shots-fired-as-armed-offenders-attempt-hijack-at-yass-service-centre/)

definitely coil springs, but could it be a 120- - sacrilige

they've stuffed those front tyres I think :) ... only way to stop it , eh?

on a second look I guess you're right -it's got tdi or Td5 aircon & steering wheel, obviously a crim with taste,

do they have copies of LRO Int in the library at Goulburn ? - cause that's where they'll be spending Xmas I think :)

Rear brakes are discs, repeater lights are pre-Td5 so it'd be a 300Tdi IMO.

[rick130]

Yep, looking at the g/box crossmember it's a Tdi 110, with Maxi flanges on the Sals too.

[edit] ACT plates too.

I'm still in bush mode and often leave the Landy unlocked here in Canberra, might have to be more vigilant seeing it's now a getaway car of choice. :o








:D

The air con is different from the one in my 1998 cab chassis 300TDi.

Will he be charged with driving a vehicle with insufficient tread on the front tyres? :D

Yep, looks like TD5 air con and a TD5 Land Rover bull bar.

Didn't realise you moved from the deep north Rick, no wonder you can't get anything cold in Murrurundi anymore.

Are congrats in order? (Did you get elected?) ��

No, I wouldn't last two seconds in that world.

Just here for work ATM, (although I've been here longer than I thought I would) it was time to move on.

OH!:o
so its (semi)permanent?

work hard or buy winter woolies!!:p

Perhaps, but if he is, I would expect it to be about the bottom of page three of the list of charges!

It's no colder here than where I was Pedro, but I don't plan on being here that long.

I hope.

A follow up on the offenders, seems that ice may have been involved.

Well that makes sense. Need to have been impaired with non prescription drugs to consider a old Land rover ute as a getaway vehicle. :) With what they where possibly enjoying whilst committing the crime they would have thought the where going fast enough. Imagine hows much safer the world would be if old land rover utes became the vehicle of choice for getaway vehicles.

One of the offences was stealing a car, which suggests that it was not their own ute - and suggests that not leaving the keys in your Landrover (because nobody would dream of stealing it) might be a good idea!
