One word - Quattro There were tears in my eyes watching the final episode. For the sake of machismo let's pretend it was because of the classic car murder

Why was Gene looking through a Merc 190E manual also? Surely not a proper replacement for the Audi???

ahhhhh - i wondered what it was he was reading
maybe ( as he's dead) he would be better off reading a Rover manual
dead man buys dead car etc etc

TBH i really liked the ending. Liked the way it does link nicely into life on mars etc.
And lets face it, after a revelation like the ending, they are never gonna do another series, there is no point, we know the twist now.

I'm still mouning the loss of what looked to be a very nice 230E.

No third series that's a fact and the manual was for 190D so maybe gene geeny is talking a step back from the fast life?
I often wondered why there was no other cast but the main rabble,
No general public in the street scenes ect.
Oh and I too had a bit of an unmanly moment but less said about that the better

Have to say, at least a 190 would be a more suitable CID car than the Audi. Did it ever show the full team getting in or out on the show? Nope because in a hurry to chase a villain, taking four people in a three door car just won't work Does anybody else use the 'they've just killed a lovely classic, that's why I'm welling up' rouse when watching stuff like this or is it just me?

Its not just you mate, i think you've hit the nail on the head with the 'excuse' though. My excuse is I'm a dirty smelly hippy so its OK to be in touch with my emotions

i didn't actually get the ending at all, but I never saw the first series of ashes to ashes, or life on mars so maybe that's why?

They were all dead mate, the nick and Gene hunt were there to help the others on the way to heaven through the pub doorway (or hell if they had chosen to abandon him and go down in the lift) the guy at the end who came in shouting about his office was Gene's next "customer"

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

The show is curse word really. Only the cars are good.
The mint Datsun Cherry they smashed at the end had me shouting though. There's hundreds of Quattros and 230E's about but only a handful of those Cherrys.

I've still got a softspot for those Datsuns. My Dad had one when I was about 6 years old. It was donated by his mum. I think she backed into a wall and decided she was too old to be driving. I hated it back then for only having clip open rear windows and roasting us in it on our summer trips to Wales. It seemed completly out of date even in 1990. I guess nostalgia makes things taste better though

I absolutely loved the show and am gutted that its not coming back. watched all the life on mars and ashes to ashes. Even the missus got upset about the Quattro getting shot up! Oh, that was the third series, do you mean another run in a different era?
