I always rather liked the nifty set of wheels that Patrick McGoohan drove as The Prisoner in that show's title sequence. So one of those, please - or, failing that, a customised hansom cab.
Splat...Nice wheels indeed, love the idea of the Morgan -style
but the TVR Chimera - Inspirational, also if the 'perps' were to attempt to 'lift' your wheels...they would have a problem just getting into the car, and if they managed that, just watch them try and start it...hehe, SWAT would be all over them before they were in 1st gear.
Love the idea of a bike...but you would need a 'sidecar' for your 'sidekick'...hehe
Mark - Nice, the Vantage, true quality, but I must agree with Splat...unless your a Lord Peter Wimsey type...its a bit OTT, but still very nice. (quiz question - who was it drove a Bentley Continental in a 60's detective series?)
I have the urge for a Chrysler 300C in black with the big low profile tyres - a dark and moody car for a dark and moody Thief-Catcher...Grrreeeaaattt
Oh Allan...my dream car, the Jensen Interceptor. My dad had one for a short time in the 70's...now day's the only people able to run one would be the bank robber's...lol
The way my family spend my money at the moment... I might just be able to stretch to a panda...hehe
Splat - Nah, been done to death with 'Hetty Wainthropp Investigates' played by that great lady Patricia Routledge - while Hetty gads about the countryside with young Geoffrey in search of resolution and justice.
I'll tell you what I dont thinks been done - A dirty great big Trike...and as you dont need a helmet, your face is always in shot...Bonus...hehe
Off now...taking the daughter to see Ice Age III, I dont know who's looking forward to it more...me or her...hehe
The bike's a nice touch, but if it has to be a car - batmobile.
If we're allowed a wider definition of vehicle . . . I'd be a detective with multiple severe allergies, who goes around in a Zorb ball. Imagine the jeopardy . . .
I can't drive for real, but I would go for a touch of 'Untouchables' era class with a 1931 Dusenberg, complete with machine gun proofed windows, for what it's worth...
Allan - Your right she dragged me, but it was a great film...better than the previous two to be honest, but have you seen the prices of the popcorn and sweets - cost more than the tickets!!!
Allan, yes your smack on with the early Morgans, it would be like riding a Trike backwards.
Shelly - VW Beetle, great car, love the idea...you could even have a subplot (like in NCIS on FX Channel, where Gibbs is trying to build a boat in his cellar) you could be converting your VW into a kit car replica of a Lamborghini Murcielago in between the murders.
E - A Zorb Ball...A script writers dream, can you just imagine the story lines...and what a acting challenge for the lead, when he shouts "Your nicked, mate!!" you would have to have a small flap inserted in the ball so 'our man' can handcuff the 'Bad lad'...hehe
Jonathan - Tom Selleck, I understand, had a new hamster each episode as they dont live long, hence, his upper lip aways looked slightly different (Disclaimer: - No hamsters were hurt in the making of this thread)
Lee - A Dusenberg, now that works for me...When you get that part, can I be your police driver...I'd fancy a 'clutch' in that..hehe
Steve
PS...Q. Where do all policemen live?
A. Letsbe Avenue
I like bikes, so a detective on a bike would be good, somehow Michael Elphick in Boon isn't quite what I mean.
As for lady detective cars don't forget Lady Penelope and her pink Rolls Royce.
