Bank job - your the wheel man.. What car?

[Thesaint01708]

Hypothetically speaking of course.

You are in a gang of 3 others (4 in total for the slow people )
there will be 3 holdalls of cash and 3 passengers
you have been contracted as the driver
you've been asked to pick a car (no budget issues - old or new)

the car has to be

quick in the real world - not just on paper - this is gonna be used on the street
reliable- your going to be thrashing it for a while and it will maybe sustain some damage.
practical - you will have to be able to fit 3 passengers with bags, easy access is a must
subtle - ideally the car will blend in so its not noticed while it sits outside the bank

my choice (although never driven one) would be an Audi RS4

what would yours be?

[hesnotthemessiah]

Agreed.

Close thread.

Everything about me wants to say early Transit, but I think I'd go for the Chrysler 300C big thing with the silly engine

[randlemarcus]

Black cab.
Change for blue Focus about a mile away.
Change for red Focus half an hour later.

[alcovrugbyfan]

this is PH so MX5!

I'd want to do it Ronin style.. Audi S8

[FlashmanChop]

BMW 335D, Mapped of course. Touring too..

[danyeates]

S4, modified they're just as quick, if not quicker than the RS4 but more understated. Nothing can touch it really. MRC Tuning's S4 hit 202mph at VMAX!

EDIT: Rear leg room is crap though! Make sure you have a couple of small guys with you.

a grubby transit with a copy of the sun on the dash and a sleeping workie with his legs out the window....that way it will simply disappear into the millions of other vans being driven like it was just in a bank job....

[B.J.W]

Easy.

Audi B7 RS4 Avant - just like the proper bank robbing gentlemen.

If it was a big bank I might upgrade to an RS6 + for its increased swag capacity

[anonymous-user]

Probably an M5. In black obviously.

what was the film with Daniel Craig where they had the gorgeous RS4 avant ???

RS4? A bit too Layer Cake for me. You will get unwanted attention as they're either owned by well off estate agents, drug dealers or other criminals.

You need a five door Escort or Mondeo with a supercharged ST24 engine or a turbo Diesel with a Holset turbo and stealth intercooler.

They used a C5 RS6 Avant in Layer Cake...

[GAjon]

Mk10 Jaaaag. Drive straight into a pile of empty boxes.

[gowmonster]

Audi D3 A8 w12, if it's good enough for Jason Statham in the transporter it should be good enough for the job.

How much do the people and the bags weigh?

[anonymous-user]

Subaru Forrester

[vixen1700]

Proper old school with a standard looking 3.8 MkII Jag but loads of engine/suspension mods.
