What would our favourite characters from books/comics etc drive


Recommended Posts

Posted

Had an easy day at work so was sat in my office pondering what would our favourite characters drive?

I'll kick this off with a couple:

 

Lord Vetinary, Patrician Ankh Morpork. He would have a Citroen CX Prestige in black.

 

Robert Langdon, Da Vinci Code Historian. Probably have a late 1970's Volvo 240 in beige.

 

Asterix,the Gaul. Defo a very dented Renault 4 in poweasel.

Paedobear would drive a Transit van with some kittens in the back.

Rubber gimp suited Danger Diabolik had a penchant for the Jaguar E Type

 

There was also a subtitled film (unless you speak Italian)

Merrily Watkins has just replaced her old Volvo with an early Freelander.

 

The head gasket has yet to feature in an episode, when it does, she must return to Volvo driving.

 

Oh, and Jill Archer drives the last Metro City in Borsetshire.

I suspect she has an L-series diesel one.

 

For when he's not hitching a lift on an eagle, I suspect Gandalf wd drive a Bentley T2. With a sunroof, for the hat. Natch.

I always picture Miss Marple astride a Vincent black shadow speeding to Gossington Hall in order to say,

'Well my dears, Colonel Protheroe couldn't have laced the maid's dildo with vaseline as he was cottaging on Brighton sea front dressed as Kirsty Allsop when the butt plug was inserted'

But then I'm strange I'm strange like that and have been for many years.

Quatermass drove a Gerald Palmer designed Sunbeam Talbot in at least one of the films. Teamed with a belted trench coat and trilby. Style ikon mate.

Fictitious characters you say? Jesus would drive a Land Rover built before 1970. Because it's just simple transport man. Or a 2CV.

Nah, it's a Honda. He and his disciples were of one Accord, you see. Probably an E-reg one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll get me coat.

Moses rode a triumph ! With goldstar silencers .

 

That's why it could be heard in the hills

Most of the fictitious characters I like that I can think of already have cars in their fictitious worlds.

That's only because Freda's Metro perished in the flood last week. Probably still sitting in the Amm (sp?) now

Yes,definitely pre 1970, in fact about 1,950 years before.

I thought Jebus could fly. I don't know, I've not read all of The Bible yet so don't spoil it for me by telling me how it ends.  I hope Jebus has some awesome adventures, I've got to the bit where he puts his hover-sandals on and tricks everyone into thinking he's walking on water.

Don't want to spoil it for you, but I'd try and finish it before Easter.

God drives a 70s full sized yank, along the lines of a '74 Mercury Marquis Brougham, Buick Electra 225, or Cadillac Fleetwood with all the Les Dunham Superfly bling.

My James Bond has a 1930 Bentley Blower, not an Aston Martin or - yikes - BMW.

Blake drives a Morgan Plus 4, Mortimer an Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire.

Tintin. A light blue Renault Dauphine.

 

Purely as a matter of interest, DI Jack Spratt in Jasper Fforde's "nursery crimes" books drives an Austin Allegro, as a kind of piss-take on fictitious policeman who have distinctive old cars (morse's jaguar, bergerac's triumph)

At first an applejack green 1.3 HL estate, then later an Equipe that never seems to age or get damaged. Purchased from Dorien Gray motors ltd.

My favourite character in the Bible is Moses. He would obviously have driven an Amphicar.

Which also has some Triumph based parts

In the original books Morse drove a Lancia which I always thought suited the character more than the mk2 Jag.

He just didn't seem like a classic car type and you never saw him doing any maintenance or renewing his owners club membership whilst solving the unusually high number of murders in the Thames Valley area.

Anyway, I always thought Rebus' Saab suited him perfectly, even though it seemed to turn into a Merc 190 when Ken Stott took over the role from John Hannah, if memory serves Stott set it on fire after it broke down yet again, went off the programme soon after.

I was thinking more of a type 2 microbus with a hippy paint job!

 

Satan on the other hand would be in a Lamborghini LM002 in red!
