Browsing through all my picture files I came across these pics I took in England, at Donnington Raceway. It's a Jaguar S-type R that they actually used for fire supression!!! From what I remember, it has 2 compressed air foam systems where the back seat used to be and it also had an additonal 2 Whelen 500 series LEDs on the rear bumper. Just thought you guys might enjoy the pics!

By the looks of this its only used for race track work. So it don't really matter about the lights being that low.

Now here is a better car.

The installer on that Volvo did a great job. The grill and intersection lights look almost like the factory put them there. The striping (blocking??) leaves room for improvement, but otherwise it's a nice vehicle.

The blocking as you call it, is called battenburg and has been proven to make the vehicle more visible during the day and night.

actually, though I've never seen the actual research, I do believe it - you're basically turning your vehicle into a rolling warning barricade . . . Back to top    URL
