This was my first fire engine - a Dennis SS 137. It was new to Warwickshire Fire Brigade in 1987, and has a Perkins 8.8 litre V8 diesel engine generating 215 BHP. The engine can drive the road wheels through a four-speed Allison automatic gearbox or can drive the built-in Godiva fire pump which can pump up to 750 gallons (that's three tons) of water a minute. I traded it in against my new one in May 2010.

A designer name is their handshake, and therefore labeling is very important. An authentic Hermes Replica Handbags will never have spelling errors anywhere on the item. Any type of misspelling is a sure indicator that your purse is an inferior-quality fake. Counterfeit labels are very cheaply Replica Handbags UK, and often mass produced. Their stitching is cheap and the labeling process is often inconsistent. For example, where "Burberry of London" is the real designer name, you might see "Burberrys of London" on knock-off Chanel Replica Handbags. Fake purses will often pluralize a name, and may also hang labels somewhere on the purse rather than stitching them into the material.
