Picspam: Prepare to get Quattro'ed

[bibliodragon]

A tribute to the true hero of Ashes to Ashes. Spoilers for all 3 series.




Our hero, making it's grand entrance!


And straight off is helping Ray deal with criminal scum!


Alex can't resist that paint work.


But only Gene is allowed to touch the Quattro like that!


Clearly the best looking car in the 80s!






The speeding Quattro brings a touch of class to those grimy 80s streets.



Showing it's skills in apprehending criminals!


And after a hard days Quattro-ing, it likes to hang out with it's showbiz pals. Notice the Quattro is too tasteful to suffer Clarkson.



Out of action for a bit, but Gene showed he had his priorities in order in ensuring that the Quattro was safely tucked up before running off to Spain. And the Quattro didn't want to go to Spain any way.



Oooh, look, retroactive symbolism!


A dark time, the Quattro is carnapped by evil and forced to listen to Wham!


And Gene can only drink at this horror.



But it is not long before riding off to the rescue once again! Destiny awaits!



The noble sacrifice.


But do not worry Quattro, your death shall be avenged!




Gene sheds a manly tear for his fallen comrade.


But maybe there is a place for fallen cop cars to go when they die...

It deserves lots of love!

Hooray! There is someone in my town who has a red Audi Quattro.. I always get a little flutter of excitement when I see it!

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

I'd probably end up walking into a lamp post if I saw one in the streets. "OMG it's Gene Hunt! Ow my face!"

[born-spook.livejournal.com]

Yay! Quattro = ♥

Thanks for brightening my morning!

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

The Quattro makes everything better ;).

[eviljr.livejournal.com]

A epic!picspam for a noble steed!

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

The noblest of them all!

[melodywilde.livejournal.com]

That was brilliant! Thanks for making me giggle (and nod agreement).

I wonder if the Quattro gets to go to the pub...

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

It would be no heaven at all if they couldn't go screeching around in the Quattro.

But maybe there is a place for fallen cop cars to go when they die...

There is... and it's sitting there making sweet car music with the Cortina XD

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Well, if Chris and Shaz can have time crossed love...

[ddagent.livejournal.com]

LMFAO Quattro FTW. I love that car so much.

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

The Quattro was always the sixth member of the team.

[ams87.livejournal.com]

This was so fantastic! Poor Quattro.

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

That finale was so emotionally draining, but just when I thought it couldn't get any worse they killed the Quattro!

[ams87.livejournal.com]

Was a little bit mean, eh?

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Those writers are more evil than Keats!

[coneyfan.livejournal.com]

Awww <3

rest in peace Quattro! :/

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Poor heroic Quattro. I hope they dedicated a round in the pub to it's honour.

[janetmaca.livejournal.com]

♥ yay for Quattro love!

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

The Quattro deserves it, with it sacrificing itself for Gene and Alex and it's proud history of Quattro-ing criminals.

[janetmaca.livejournal.com]

The Quattro really was awesome, let's hope it's in a better place. ;)

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

If any car deserved a hug, it's that one.

[wee-mango.livejournal.com]

Excellent picspam. :D ♥

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but I had an excellent subject ;).

[sleepismyfriend.livejournal.com]

I see Hammond! I love Hammond!

Also, that probably IS the best looking car from the 80's I've seen, hands down.

Except the Mercedes 380SL. I love that cute convertible.

But still! Back to the Quattro! It is very cute!

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

You should check out the Ashes to Ashes Children in Need special. Though it cut off before Hammond gets beaten up for stealing Gene's car (and his Bolly!)

[venusinthenight]

quattro + hamster = NOM. ;)

too bad dead quattro is dead. also, why is its successor a bloody merc? and a diesel one at that? (i know the 190 has a rallying pedigree, as did the quattro and cortina, but...seriously?!)

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

The Merc's just a rebound relationship!

[trekphan.livejournal.com]

You know, I thought for SURE that the license plate was significant. I was all, "July 7th, 1954 just has to be a clue to something!" Then one day I realized that we Americans write our dates differently (mm/dd/yy) than the UK does (dd/mm/yy) and my theory was squashed.

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Though that could have worked since that date arrangement works over here when the month name is written down like that.

Well, it is still a significant decade.

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

The Quattro is both macho and adorable (like the owner. Oh shit, the Guv might have heard that, run away!).

It manages to look very eighties without hurting your eyes to look at.

[insaniteetti.livejournal.com]

Omg it was such a sad moment when the Quattro was shot down! I have never cried over a car but I guess there's time for everything:D (Altough I had been crying since the beginning of that episode:D) In my neighbourhood there's also a red Audi Quattro, have seen it once and almost came into my knickers! <3

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Just when I thought they couldn't break my heart even more, they went and killed the frigging Quattro!

Then came the Pub scene to stomp on the remaining pieces *cries*.

[mort-aux-vaches.livejournal.com]

Loving this! Yes, the Quattro deserves lots of love also! ♥

Well done! :D

[bibliodragon.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is a surprisingly lovable car!
