bendejo Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Would have been smarter (much smarter) to buy, and have it modified, abroad. He is at risk of having the last thing he hears "well, it was supposed to be bulletproof!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to have it armored abroad, there is a few companies in Thailand that are more than capable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't HI-SOs get them tax free like the Cops? I'm sure he can claim a tax rebate using a vehicle to go to work and back, having to carry important documents. My old Accountant in OZ for $100 could sort that all out for you including running costs and devaluation. NOW SORT THE GUN PROBLEM OUT !!! Edit; you could even claim for a driver.

Sydebolle Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Chances are slim but there is the chance, that you might bump into the Swiss President in a check-out lane in a supermarket or another Swiss minister waiting for the public bus, sitting in a tram or a train. My conclusion is, the more banana-republic the more the show-off. If he likes a fancy car he certainly has more than loose change to buy all of his ministers such vans and, yep, some might be well advised in getting the bullet-proof version. Not all those ministers are as popular as they think ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
