MATCHBOX - When is a generic not a generic - when it is this, odd, but loosly based on a real vehicle.

This is an odd one, I am not usually one for buying generics, Matchbox has brought us some of the most hideous ones ever, cars with Rhino heads, Alligators with wheels, and the like, but this one is different, as this is roughly based on a true vehicle, and i use the term "based on" very loosely.

I only have three of these, mainly because i forgot that i had two, when I bought the third, otherwise i would not have bothered, the Meter Maid, as it is known, is one of those strange vehicles the US postal service and parking enforcement officers use, fortunately for us in the UK, we don't, there is a god out there after all, if this appeared on our streets, it would get destroyed, or at the very least the driver would get the "mickey" taken out of them, a great deal.
