Strathclyde Police Garage Visit

[T200]

Hi all was wondering if any of you guys and girls would be interested in a wee tour of the Transport Department Workshop (fancy name for the the police Garage) where all our new vehicles are liveried and maintained. I have got a visit agreed only need to arrange a date Thought one of the club Tuesday nights as they are in Glasgow anyway. Wanted to sound all you out for numbers. Scott they would love to see your red Fiat,there and I would see if my red VW will make it this time. You all might be able to note down the numbers of the unmarked video cars save you all a bit of money lol[]

Brian, dont think we will get a spin any of the cars as the garage is no longer at Helen Street but my mate is off the driver training at Jackton soon so might try to get him to fix up a visit to Driver Training later in the year

I cannot find the guy's name I had he was a sergeant based at Milngavie I believe he was promoted and had something to do with the bike division Whatever you can arrange will be great

Can we play with the blue lights?

As long as it is not just Astras I am up for a visit.

 

[poprock]

Count me and Jen in for this.

 

[akwaugh]

I'm up for it too, will my old mate Richard Flint be around?

 

[BillMain]

Count me in to, don't think there will be a shortage of attendees for this.

I've been selected to attend a driver awareness course with Northumbria Police shortly. I was selected at random by one of their roadside cameras last month and received a nice letter offering the course at a discounted rate. £60 and no penalty points.

Sounds like a bargain. You'll have to tell me more about that application process.
