The anti-riot car used by Egyptian police is a modified version of the Iveco Daily
Submitted by mostafa on Sat, 2011-04-30 16:06The car used by Egypt's police to control crowds before and during the revolution has the brand IVECO written in silver on it's front grill.



It's a modified version of a diesel powered van produced by the company called the Iveco Daily.


The wesbite has a nice description of this peaceful van that you can read here. To me it read like this:
Strong, responsive, bold and ready to go in any situation. This is the ideal companion for the tyrant professional and comes full of innovations that are unique in the world of crowd control. The range offers killer van, rampage into crowds mode and tear-gas options, providing the perfect answer to all authoritarian needs.
And, because it is an Iveco, ECODAILY has the toughness and durability that comes from decades of experience in the heavy-policing industry.

How to listen to live streaming internet radio in your car
Submitted by mostafa on Thu, 2008-08-21 00:59You can listen to live streaming internet radio if you have a mobile phone with a 3G connection. The phone should be able to run J2ME MIDP applications (most do). Download and install MFRadio. It is open source and free. MFRadio can only play Mp3 streams.
The second step is to be able to connect your phone to your car stereo. This is highly variable, so you will have to find this out on your own.
