    "t can withstand a barrage of bullets, features its own entertainment system and bar and is so big it dwarfs a Hummer. The Knight XV - dubbed the world's most luxurious armoured vehicle - is the new mode of transport for people wanting to combine security and comfort. At 20ft in length, the imposing car stands at more than three feet longer than a Hummer and is a whole foot wider".


    I doubt if we will see any of these in this country for quite some time..hopefully. :p

    If they do appear here they will probably end up being possessed by CAB. :D

    It's discretion is what I like most about it.

    Why not just wait until they get out and then shoot them? :confused:

    Doesn't look bigger than a Hummer! You'd need to see them side by side.

    edit: I take it back...

    I'd love to see a picture of that eh...tank next to a Hummer, just to put it in perspective. It looks about the size of a Hummer there.

    edit: steve, you got in there with the pic just as i was asking for it.

    Seems to be based on a Ford F550 chassis which maked it the same width and height as a Hummer H1, its is longer though. Pics above show the smaller Hummer.

    This is the F550:
