I saw a couple episodes of "Life", couldn't really get into it, but found it interesting that the main character had a Quattroporte as his cop car.

Libby in Neighbours used to have a really cool green Beetle, it featured quite a bit for a few months. Anyone remember it back in 2004 I think. Can't find any pictures for st though!

You bet wisely. But I read that the owner took the whole thing in extremely good humour.
