Surely if the Police are using an Audi quattro all you need to get away is a Lancia?

if you can get it to start

I've had eight Lancias, my Delta GTie was 100% reliable 60% of the time!  You just have to keep on top of the injection system (ie carry spare throttle position senson, ignition amp/coil pack, water temp sensor and distibter and a full tool kit and you'll be fine)

Incidentally, both of my Lancia Y10's never missed a beat (unlike my Dedra 2.0ie which I blew up - lol)

Lancia catch a Quattro?.....Never - electrics would have caught fire before that it would have to me to catch up....

this if your my age (44)

 8O That old   Thought i was the only one on here who has to check the bed every morning for bits missing  

I look at it this way at our age we can truly appreciate the glory of the mk1 golf GTI as when we where first driving it was a car we thought we would never own I find my self looking at mine and saying to myself  " got one yess" this may sounds sad to the youngsters but they will never understand.

I was driving an Allegro!  ops:  (Quite a quick, sportyish one, and I loved it, but an Allegro nevertheless!)

There was programme on telly with Joanna Lumley driving a cabby, and I thought 'One day, one day!'

When I got my first one in 98 I kept driving around thinking 'I got one!)

 :mrgreen:

na! you'd need one of these bad boys!!!



guess what, you may be able to buy one new again soon:



gotta be woth it just for the steering wheel (does it look familiar to anyone?)



ok so saying you can buy it soon may be a bit of a porky but it has been seen on test tracks!

Ok back to ashes to ashes I notice whilst they were filming, its set in 1981 however the Quattro has the index  *** ***Y so that means it was registered in August 1982 or later  8O

I have also read it is set in 1985  :dontknow:

Oh no mk2 time……………………

The BBC say its 1981 though and they should know.

I we going to pick up on all the mistakes?

I think I will just to wind up the wife :wink:

Cracking shot with it driving head-on then hand brake turning. Oh my God… This is already the best show on TV and I've not even watched it yet! It looks liked they have designed the show round the car! What an 80s icon. Hunt and the Quattro.

I just hope they have him using a mobile phone the size of set of golf clubs!

I love the 80s, its my decade (man). 8)

Mk1 in it tonight I recon

1.30h to go…………….
