More to the point - the one they use is a 1984 model, but who cares? I enjoyed it. You're going to have to give it a couple of episodes to settle in. Most of the first one really seemed to be setting scene, which wasn't unlike the first episode of LOM.

I more or less enjoyed it, but DCI does not seem to fire off with the words as in LOM, probably because of her sex and there just seemed to be something missing somehow.
Still-give it time and we shall see if it gets better.

I thought about pointing out the Quattro innacuracies to my girlfriend, but she would have dumped me immediately.
Didn't really enjoy it to be honest, although the next door neighbour is a huge fan. Mind you, she is Chris/Marshalls gran, so could be a teeny bit biased.

I was looking at my watch 30 mins in. Thought the 'plot' was fairly laughable as was the inclusion of the woman (lovely legs though). Not a patch on LOM, I doubt I'll be too bothered if I miss an episode. Loved the Audi.

Was moving some furniture for my mother a couple of weeks ago and saw an identical Quattro - was an A Plate.
Is it whats called a UR ?
Misses wasn't impressed when we saw it while moving but watching the other night its "I quite like it now"
Best get one now before they all want one.

Opinions seem to be quite divided on A2A...I enjoyed it but then I was also enjoying wine at the same time 
I see DCI Gene Hunt is on the Jonathon Ross show tonight, that could be worth a look as well.

Theoretically it was possible that he could have owned a quattro at that time, but it would have to have been a personal import, and it should definitely be LHD
However when you bear in mind that the basic theme of the programme is that the whole thing is made up by her subconscious self, the car becomes more justifiable
After all, what the **** do girls heads know about cars
Personally I was loving all the MkIV/V Cortina panda cars
They probably originally wanted to go mid eighties, but couldn't find any intact SD1s

Mines got this ridiculous thing clagged on its boot, got no idea what thats for
Could put coffee cups on it, I suppose I really enjoyed it, the music was excellent, Hunt was as shexy as ever and the plot just as hard to follow as LOM.
Am looking forward to next week

So far none of that New Romantics nonsense...which is a good sign. Once they bring out Spandau Ballet, Steve Strange and those other fools, we're sunk. Do I remember right there was some Gary Numan in there last night? And what's the next series going to be called? Tin Machine?
