Stealth Cars

[ChrisOB1]

Ok apologies in advance if this is a repost but I did do a search on PH before writing.

Myself and BJW are firm believers in stealth cars as we often have to turn up on clients sights in something that looks respectable. OK so he goes and throws that out of the window by getting an RS4, but from the front and side it does look like any other Audi (ok from a distance whilst squinting) but it started the debate about what is a good Q or stealth car:

Are there any PHers that will post pic of their stealth cars car along with their new spec which to look at them you would not know they housed a beastie and also cars which would be ok to turn up to a client in wearing a suit..... over to the masses....

I always considered the Rover 620Ti to be be a bit Q.

[ChrisOB1]

Just dont up the boost. Pistons were made by Cadbury. Quick car in standard trim though.

Being quick only gets it halfway to Q status, it's the fact Rover 600s were typically driver by cap-wearing, octogenarian mongbeciles that helps its Q rating.

The S60 Volvo the police use would be a strong contendor for me. Either the V8 or T5.

I'd post a picture, but my car it is so stealthy since I had the new exhaust fitted I can't fking find it.

I am sure that there are some 'proper' stealth bits of kit amongst the PH membership. A bright red RS4 with a milltek exhaust doesn't really qualify in all fairness.

P.S - I have no idea who the OP is.

Also the pre-nostril Monaro CV8 like mine. Looks like a 2 door Omega.

Was hoping some PHers would have some as their daily drives etc... ive seen some Alfa's 159 remaped especially the diesels that show quite a turn of pace.... are pleaseing to the eye and you just wouldnt know they could give most things a kicking...(obviously not your RS4,M3 WRx etc... but most top end rep cars)

My daily stealth car that doesn't make clients think I'm overcharging them:

Saab turbo?

[carmadgaz]

Where is the pic of the hearing aid beige Polo?

[ChrisOB1]

IS that the MPS what are the stats I like it had an RX8 previously...

Lotus Carlton, very rapid, think its a 3.6 twin turbo striaght 6. 377bhp@5200 and 419ftlb@4200 175 tops and 0 - 60 in 5.1, nice machine, all figures are for the standard car.

Hardly fits the bill as a 'stealth car' though. It looks like something Darth Vader would knock about in - when he was feeling pissed off!

VW Phaeton 6.0 W12

My boss has the 3.0 diesel version and pretty much everyone thinks it is a Passat and therefore it does not get a second look.
One person even commented "Nice Golf" to him once!

[spikeyhead]

The original Fiat Croma Turbo.

Looks like any other three box saloon, o-60 in 6.5. Very old now but used to be great fun pissing on Pug 205 Gt1s etc back in the day
