What would they drive now ?
Discussion
The 800 SOTW thread got me thinking, TV Series from the past that had central characters with reconisable cars, what would they drive now.
Obviously Alan Partridge had his Lexus last time we saw him, would he have a new "Lexi" (Its the Japanese Mercedes) or something different ? I think perhaps an Audi Q7 as he had his new series and one would look great with the spray painting on.
What about the Professionals, now there is no Capri ?
Terry and June had a Princess, I cant think
Regan and Carter had a Granada, what would the drive in 2011 ?
Never understood how Gene Hunt as a copper in Life on Mars in his Cortina in the seventies managed to upgrade to an Audi Quattro in Ashes to Ashes, Coppers didnt have new Quattros, nice car but not great casting I think.

I seem to remember that he acquired it from a drug dealer and rather than letting it go to Scotland Yard for them to deal with it, he kept it in standard Gene Hunt, a bit corrupt, but not really harming anyone, style.

What about the Professionals, now there is no Capri ? Jag XK
Terry and June had a Princess, I cant think Quashqai diesel in biege

Bodie and Doyle, Focus ST perhaps?
agreed given the number of proactive roads policing units using them , Cowley would have a jag or a 7 seriesRegan and Carter= either Insignias or Diesel 5-series / S60 as per current police practices ( given Lewis drives an insignia with hideaways, noise and kojack light)
Terry and June= pov spec 1.9 tdi A4 in resale grey

I'd like to think the Doyle would have a VXR8 and Bodie would have a 2 door Monaro. Clearly a change to GM would need to be made for RWD.Not sure why but RWD suites them
Avengers would be an MX5 instead of the TR6 I reckon or a Fiat Barchetta.
Ok, need some more programmes, Purdey from the new Avengers now that the TR7 is no longer available, Steed for that matter, have to be a an XFR I think for him.
Not a TV Programme but I am guessing John Shuttleworths Austin Ambassador (Y reg) is probably no more, what new(er) car would he be seranding ?
Minder, Arthur, still be a Jag, probably an old shape XJ, Terry (not the imposter who came later), Focus ST/RS perhaps.

Partridge is supposed to come across as a bit of a wker, but I don't think he's enough of a bellend to be driving a Q7. J4CKO said:

What about the Professionals, now there is no Capri ? Subaru or Evo

What about Ed Straker in a remake of UFO? Maybe something like a CRZ Mugen or a Pagani Zonda?Obviously Alan Partridge had his Lexus last time we saw him, would he have a new "Lexi" (Its the Japanese Mercedes) or something different ?
