One of EoEAS Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) Rapid Response Vehicles. This one was seen at a training exercise at the Essex Fire Service Urban Search & Rescue base in Lexden, Colchester.
This happened right in front of me today in Trafalgar Square. I heard this Metropolitan Police ANPR Interceptor on blues and twos responding to something, when this Land Rover pictured here hit the rear end of this rather valuable car. You can see a slight, but visible dent and scratches behind the rear wheel. The two vehicles later pulled over and were joined by two other Met police vehicles. I don't know what the driver was thinking! This photo was taken just minutes after the collision. It'll cost a bit to repair it, I'm sure. The two officers were having a talk to the driver here, shortly after the incident.
You couldn't really pick a worse car to crash into!

A Volkswagen Golf VI 3dr GTI photographed in Beijing, Beijing municipality, China.
This Golf VI GTI has an embassy licenses plates.
The Chinese embassy plates are formed in this way :
red 使 (for 使馆 - Shǐguǎn meaning embassy) + 3 numbers (each country or international organization got its own numbers) + 3 numbers dedicated for cars (001 is usually for the Ambassador own vehicle).
For this Golf, number 176 is for Mexico.
This car is very rare in China.
If the Golf VI GTI was produced in China by the FAW-VW JV, but only in 5dr hatchback. The 3dr hatch was never produced or officially imported by VW.

The Pontiac Firebird is an automobile which was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors between 1967 and 2002. The Firebird was introduced the same year as the automaker's platform-sharing model, the Chevrolet Camaro. This coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, which shared its platform with another pony car, the Ford Mustang.
The vehicles were powered by various four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and V8 engines sourced from several GM divisions. While primarily Pontiac-powered until 1977, Firebirds were built with several different engines from nearly every GM division until 1982 when GM began to discontinue engines it felt were unneeded and either spread successful designs from individual divisions among all divisions or use new engines of corporate architecture.
The name "Firebird" was also previously used by General Motors for the unrelated concept cars.
The Trans Am was a specialty package for the Firebird, typically upgrading handling, suspension, and horsepower, as well as minor appearance modifications such as exclusive hoods, spoilers, fog lights and wheels. In using the name Trans Am, a registered trademark, GM agreed to pay $5 per car sold to the SCCA. Four distinct generations were produced between 1969 and 2002. These cars were built on the F-body platform, which was also shared by the Chevrolet Camaro.

It looks as though I was trespassing here, but actually I was totally legal and pointing my camera through the fence. I see on Google Maps that this spot is now completely inaccessible behind 8ft "palisade" fencing. This was one of those click-wind, click-wind, click-wind moments that the 35mm SLR camera, with lever advance, encourages. Unfortunately I was so preoccupied with getting my four shots as the train passed that I forgot to look up for a glimpse of the nameplate; accordingly the identity of the locomotive must remain forever unknown. The train, seen on Friday 22nd November 1974 at Winterbourne, north of Bristol, was the 11:15 Paddington-Cardiff. Of the four shots I took, this one ...the first... is the one I like best. Hopelessly in love with the Colin T Gifford look. I can't quite be sure from the photo whether this is Continuous Welded Rail but, by this date, I'm sure it was. With the stop at Bristol Parkway up ahead, the locomotive was probably coasting, but in imagination I hear the zing and twitter of the train's approach, transmitted through the rails.

Hobbemakade, Amsterdam (Netherlands).
Small vehicles of the Amsterdam Fire Brigade (De Nederlandse Brandweer). I imagine that these are not those that they use to extinguish fires, although they have fire extinguisher...
In 1652 the old town hall of Amsterdam burnt down, while the new one (the current Royal Palace) was not finished yet. A lot of treasures and historical important charters were destroyed and the fire was a small disaster. Directly after the fire the municipal council bought 54 manual fire engines from Hans Hautsch in Nuernberg, Germany, with which the water could be pumped up to 15 meters. Amsterdam was by then a rapidly growing and very prospering city.
One of the witnesses of the town hall fire was a twelve year old guy named Jan van der Heiden. This brilliant young lad was studying glasspainting and had fantastic organisational talents. In 1669 he submitted a plan for a public street lighting in the whole city of Amsterdam. He designed a lantern burning on oil, that was wind- and watertight and still got enough oxygen to stay alight. His plan was adapted and Jan built the lanterns and the organisation to light and extuinguish them. Only after that it was possible to go out at night, because the danger of walking into one of the many canals and of thieves and robbers was minimised. For the first time in history it was possible to go out at night to inns or brothels, which florished with the much longer opening times. You could say that Jan van der Heiden invented or in any case made possible the nightlife, for which Amsterdam is still famous. His street lighting system found following in the cities of Groningen, Berlin and St. Petersburg. Besides that he was a very good painter and drawer and he is recognised as one of the great Dutch masters of the 17th century.
Jan van der Heiden was as important for fire fighting history in Europe as George Washington was for the history of the U.S.A. He invented the use of fire hose, improved the manual fire engines, organised the first real volunteer fire brigade in his part of the world and wrote and illustrated the first book on the subject of firefighting.
The first trial of the use of hose was in 1672 with a the portable watersack. At the canal men on a ladder filled the watersack in a trestle with buckets. From the trestle, which was higher than the fire engine the water flowed to the engine in a linen hose, where the water entered a tank from which the pump gave it to the spout under pressure. The results were very good and within a few weeks the Van der Heiden brothers (Jan and Nicolaas) were appointed engineers of the city's fire engines. They were only responsible for the quality and maintenance of the engines, not the way these were used. That came only in 1685.
In 1673 another - far more exiting - trial took place. To one of the city's 60 fire engines they connected a leather hose on the place of the spout and put the spout at the other end of the hose. Thus creating the first attackhose. The attack- or extinguishing hose, transporting water under pressure, had to be of a tougher material and was made of leather. The sewing of leather was not an unknown craft in the seafaring industry of Amsterdam.
With these improvements it was not longer necessary to place the pump near the water or under the fire (which had caused many deaths when buildings collapsed), but somewhere inbetween. Besides that, the water could now be brought into the burning rooms instead of against them. You could say that the Van der Heidens invented the interior attack of fires.
In the years after the trial of 1673 the Van der Heiden brothers rebuilt all the city's old engines and built new engines to their own design, that were lighter and easier to handle.
Beside the inventions Jan van der Heiden organised the City of Amsterdams fire fighting organisation. He formed the first real volunteer fire brigade in 1685, of which he and his son (also named Jan) were the first fire chiefs.

This very unusual looking RV caught my attention at Yachats this weekend. I really would like to know what it is, but there was no identification on it. Does anybody recognize it? Who made it, where, or when?
