I think the Impreza was the vehicle of choice for that fraternity for quite a while

Mind you I can't imagine they would be seen dead in the new one

Maybe a 5 series?

Lovely - just not in grey.

Got to be an RS6 or similar I agree.

Me and a mate had this conversation a few weeks back. I suggested Impreza. He reckoned on the humble Transit van, as they are less likely to stand out. Not much use for getting away quickly though.

Depends what you have to carry and how many people, but an RS4/RS4/M5 would be the obviously, along with either a hot Evo or Impreza.

Depends who is driving I suppose!

Disco. Room for a decent sized team, high driving position for seeing over traffic, doesn't really stand out, heavy enough to shove stuff out the way if you need to.

I think Transits were the vehicle of choice in the older days, much like the OP specifies with the Jag, gotta be better vans nowaways though

Actually being serious for a moment, the recent spate of robberies in London would suggest that Motorbikes are the vehicle of choice

Range Rover Sport or RS6..Pointless using anything else. With the Rangie/RS6 in London, you'll just blend in hehe

That's jewel thieving you use those for. A bank job is harder as cash is bigger you can't stuff enough in your pockets.

Bowler Nemesis for me, high position, can take big knocks.
Enough room inside for a few buddies and equipment.
The vehicle gives you the choice of driving on the or off the road and the 4.8l supercharged V8 coupled with its 415l race spec fuel cell would allow you to out run road units and exceed helicopters flight times.


oh and its a babe magnet!

It would have to be a bike. No car is realistically going to get away from a helicopter and - if these police programmes are anything to go by - you just have to ride like a bit of a nutter and ground units will have to stop chasing you because of "Public safety" or something.

In some places I'd go with a speed boat, worked for James Bond, almost worked for the Dome robbers.

Or take advantage of opportunity and wait for snow

Large, fast, anonymous, awd, run flats, so i reckon an RS6 avant in black with some run flats would be my bet.
