    How is all the kit going to fit in the Kona boot? It's tiny, and the knee room in the back is very small.

    Half a first aid kit, crime scene tape (not on the roll), a box of gloves (probably empty), used Drager straws, half a sign kit and some mepro lights. I'd say it'll cope.

    Was going into the city centre it came of at the m50, I couldn’t take a photo of them, had too many in the car with me but they were definitely heading towards the city centre generally if was Belfast or port bound they would take the tunnel

    Film cars ?

    Though probably not an ideal time to be making tv shows.

    I only say that because I have seen a few shows over the years that are set in the UK but filmed over here. Line of Duty would be an example, though that's filmed in Belfast.

    I understand there are vehicles that many won't ever know but I honestly can't picture any time there was one anyway. Was it a cab steal or an actual purchase I'd like to know ...

    I’ve no clue either, I’ve never seen that merc before, could be a trail, we called the reg out to be sure and all checked out, very fancy looking thing, there is an Grey E Class in the fleet, I think it is armed response but not too sure, I remember it was involved in the chase 2/3 years ago of guy who carjacked loads of cars And it finished at Liffey valley, there is footage or the benz in that.

    I think he will still have the escort perks considering he will be the replacement in two years Taoiseach

    Do former taoisigh get any perks ? Transport / garda escort wise ...
    I always thought the government should have taken up skoda on the offer of a couple of superbs a few years back.. definitely think they should buy a couple of the armoured now for Ministerial transport , not cheap but not flash either ...

    Would've been the greatest marketing coup for Skoda but I'm glad it wasn't taken up on
