armour plated mini van

Post by guru_1071 »

check out this little beauty.

i dread to think what sort of a quick get away a 850cc armour plated mini van full of gold would be in a armed robbery!!

no chance of any 'door blowing off' here, though i wonder what chaos a rusting a panel would cause!!!

i found these photos on 'autoshite' the van is in a scrappy in new zealand, i forgot to take note of the person who posted/took them, so a virtual pint to them for taking the time to photo a varient of,er, a varient that i, for one, have never seen!
