Well, we can be sure they didn’t intend to just blow the bloody doors off.

And taking it from pensioners hardly levels the playing field either.

Well, it might not be that hard to steal one:

But these cost very little in all probability given that …

Usually it’s employers who loot the pension fund. Hopefully the armored car company is insured.

If Bono would have done, would this have been pro bono or quid pro quo?

Also, did Salvini already blame the EU?

I would have said New Jersey for this caper.

That would require different equipment:

you probably don’t want to use your own equipment

because it can be traced back to you?

That’s some serious Fury Road shit going down.

I’ve got thousands of hours operating dozers. The first thing you learn, is how to tell the gender; is it a cow dozer or a bull dozer? They’re gender-neutral, of course! Dozers have a blade at the front, possibly a ripper tooth or several on the back. They are track vehicles.
Excavators, like the ones shown in the photos are often called “diggers” in the UK. They are most often track vehicles, but they make rubber-tire models as well. Some of them have a little dozer blade on one end, so it’s possible to say you could be dozing with an excavator. I’m dozing right now, as a matter of fact.

It’s similar to calling an Audi A4 a bicycle because they both have wheels, or calling a submarine a canoe, ffs.

I know, I know; who cares?

I care Mark, I care. And you explained it brilliantly. Bravo!

But the unsubtle Italians used construction equipment even then. (See still from the film, a few posts above.)
It’s only the plucky Brits who can do it with Minis. :wink:

And without the Aston and two E-types.
