Ashes to Ashes

Spoted about 4pm yesterday afternoon, Mr Gene Hunts quattro on the back of a truck on the A40 comming out of London towards the M25

we should have contacted the BBC and had a load of quattros on the set of A2A

one episode we could have had our cars parked in the streets around the set...OR have a few running and meet DCI at traffic lights... what would be his reply to another quattro pulling up along side with Amanda at the helm?

PRICELESS

WHO owns DCI's quattro anyway? was it loaned to the Beeb?

Top spotting Nige!

@ Rich, I think the production company owns it (both of 'em!)

Brother said there,s a list(agency) you can put your classic cars on and film companies can rent them.Don,t get that much money,just the privilege of seeing your car on the screen.

I read somewhere that when they are rented out they aren't treated with much respect and could come back damaged. A risk you take. Not sure how true it is though.
One thing for sure, they wouldn't be treated as well as we would treat them.

Not quite, I do believe the film companies accept their responsibility...
