The latest must-have celebrity craze is a £200,000 armour plated Cadillac Escalade that can withstand bullets, bombs and chemical attacks.

Apparently some customers have specified pressurised cabins and on-board oxygen supplies to protect against chemical and gas attacks. Now surely that is quite disturbing in anyone’s book…
