People are getting their vehicles stolen from them by an overreaching government. Because they don't have guns. @Sturgeon @Meplat @Ulric

 

These mall crawlers are better maintained than most "legal" cars on the road....

Alpine 310 of the French gendarmerie

 

Quote

   Patrol versions of the Alpine 310 began to arrive in the French gendarmerie in 1972, immediately after the launch in mass production. Patrol versions of the Alpine 310 replaced Alpine 110, used by French gendarmes since the 60s. Like its predecessor, the patrol version of the 310 model received special lighting and radio communication equipment. Patrol Alpine 310 were in production until 1977, and were operated until the middle of 80s.

There was a girl near where I used to live who had one.  Her plates read "SPOILD."

[That’s Suspicious]

I bet she’ll feel really spoiled when her Water Pump fails, her camshaft takes a shit, or when her air suspension fails.

Chassis was taken from Ferrari 512, on which the new body was installed. Ferrari V12 engine, with 550 hp, was used for this concept ar as well, which allowed it to accelerate to 350 km/h.

In the 1970s, after the test cycle, the car was dismantled - chassis was given back to Ferrari for conversion to a conventional sport car, and the body was left to Pininfarina and used to for demonstration mock-up. In 2014, the model was sold to James Glickenhaus, who restored the car to the running condition

...truck built on a modular principle, its parts can be rearranged and combined depending on production needs, you can add additional batteries, or retrofit additional motor-wheels, or remove unnecessary .. It is possible to assemble trucks into an autotrain, removing the cab from all dump trucks and leaving only one on the lead. And in all parts of this train the engine in wheels remain and the ability to control it from the leading truck.
