mmmmm quattro taht is one nice motor. it has to belong to a restorer might be worth finding out who.

no mk1 this week but liked the dolomite except the wrong wheels on it. still tasty.

crap not as good as life on mars well not  that show give it another week or so :dontknow:

i finished watching all the life on mars episodes on disc last night,just in time for ashes 2 ashes,not as good as i hoped,they do well in the 80's to dodge all those bullets  :roll:

I thought it was just as good as life on mars. But then I'm 80s mad, so maybe I'm biased!

The girl's certainly not as good as Sam Tyler though…

"Fire up the quattro"!!!! One of the best lines I've seen in TV for a long time.

A Team piss take perhaps :dontknow:

Thought they could of got more cars in than just the few that they had.

mmmmmm not as good as life on mars but its early days yet so will give it a few weeks shes not as good as Sam but does look better than him in the red skirt  now then will the first MK1 of the series be a tin top or floppy??

There's bound to be a Mk1 on there in no time. Total 80s icon.

How do you get your car onto these things anyway? Do they have like agents for classic cars or something???

tin top with anyluck. :mrgreen:

I enjoyed it just for the laugh factor alone,Zippy and George in the cop shop telling the daughter she wouldnt see her mum again i PML!
The tunes were excellent too as i`m old enough to remember them when they were first released but like the posts said so far it wasnt as good as Life on Mars at all.
Early days though  

I agree with TimSki!

Alex is not as good as Sam! but early days yet still good!

I enjoyed it, mostly for the music.

Seemed to be mostly 70s cars which is understandable if it is set in 1981. As such I am not expecting to see any Mk1s at all as they were no where near as common as British cars back then.

Wasn't that Quattro too late a model for 1981?

too true but there where bags of them about if i remember correctly as it was late81 early 82 when i got my first mk1

I'll vote for…

Allegro
Princess
Fiesta
Capri

and on the lorry front if they need one a Bedford TK/ Ford D Series.

I thought that it was a bit sllllllooooowwww. I rushed home from work, just made it and was a bit disappointed.

If that epposide was to reflect 1980 then it'll be interesting to see what '84/85 episodes bring with the invention of PACE (The police And Criminal Evidence Act aka The Bible) cause Hunt will have to stop kneeing every unsuspecting person around!!!!
