I don't mean like the one from the bond film with the john cleese projection camera blah blah blah.......

I mean, from a BIB/anyone perspective, which car is the most transparent or least attention seeking?

A volvo perhaps?

I had a gunmetal grey MK2 Golf GTI with the badges removed. Police seemed to just see straight through it. Especially in the rain

Mine! considering the way old people in Pacific rim made cars simply pull out in front of me, or brake for no apparent reason whatsoever! I must be invisible!!!

A nice sensible, safe sort of a car that a mature chap would drive. Maybe in a fetching shade of dark blue and a bit dirty. A Saab 9000 turbo

Tend to agree on that. I had a dark blue one on extended test drive and it was invisible to others on the motorway. This TDCi Zetec was a great car though! Lifts a rear wheel on tight corners, no traction control available... super.

Most FWD cars will lift a rear wheel if you really push them.

Least attention seeking car has to be a base model Nissan Micra, preferably in some shade of blue.

The sort of car old ladies drive!

A motorcycle, not a car but may as well be invisible!

The Scarabe Green works quite nicely as well, it would appear to be one of those cars that are instantly forgetable, which suits me just fine

I drive the most see through vehicle known to man: Toyota corolla.

Unnoticable, just blends right in with the the rest of the crowd.

I think the new Ford Focus is the most invisible car.

They are so bland, that you never notice them.

A numptie car, so you get ignored because it will be spotless as will your documents tucked up in the glove box, lol! Oh and the driver will be deaf and senile so plod won't have time for a long conversation about the war and the kids today, blah blah.

Yep, I need me one of those micras but the thought of giving up my balls somehow holds me back. Sorry to micra owners, no offence intended.

Boosted.

Haven't the BIB invented some kind of cloaking device? Based on the number of people I see being pulled by fully marked cars on the A1 - they seem to be quite invisible!

Nahhh...

that is just numpties using mobiles, reading the paper, doing makeup, smoking, eating apples etc... they deserve to get pulled.

My green Primera. It was crashed into twice in the same day, by different drivers, while parked in different places. Totally invisible. Try sorting out the insurance for that
