Vauxhall with the blues and twos
Like many if not all kids I was fascinated by Knight Rider as I grew up, Smokey and the Bandits was another favourite! Whenever I use to see police patrol cars on the road I always use to imagine what they are like on the inside, I was convinced that they come with much more powerful engines and nothing can go faster than them.
As I grew up I realised Knight Rider was a fiction based car and Smokey and the Bandit may not be the right way to live life! Police cars have always fascinated me, and I’m sure it is the case with many young kids out there.
