    Was in town lastnight, walking across O'Connell Bridge, when I saw a tow-truck with a UK 'City of Manchester Police' car on the back of it. It was a new model Ford focus hatchback. The car looked like it had been involved in a crash (rear damage) and also looked like it had done some off-roading or rallying, it was covered in mud....

    What would this be doing in Dublin??

    Capri brought this up on the Vehicle Gallery thread too. He saw it as well

    Yeah, sorry about the picture quality, was taken on a phone while the truck was moving off! When I saw it, my first instinct was "get a photo and see if the Boardsies know"

    Is that sad?!? :D

    As eth0 says, filming going on in DCU for some hospital/medical show. One of the buildings is mocked up as some "Manchester Hospital" with "City of Manchester" cop cars and ambulances. Been going on for a good few weeks now actually.

    No such thing as city of manchester police. Should be Greater manchester police.
