burraston2006 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 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. catsinthewelder 1
HillmanImp Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Paedobear would drive a Transit van with some kittens in the back. AlabamaShrimp, Jim Bergerac and Mr Lobster 3

anonymous user Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Rubber gimp suited Danger Diabolik had a penchant for the Jaguar E Type There was also a subtitled film (unless you speak Italian) Junkman and eddyramrod 2
Asimo Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 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. Uncle Jimmy and DS20 2
DS20 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 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.
Doctormop Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 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.

Uncle Jimmy Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 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. martc 1
Uncle Jimmy Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 What would Shitelock Holmes drive?Must be British....
DS20 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I reckon a Gordon-Keeble. Edit: Holmes Uncle Jimmy 1
Albert Ross Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Fictitious characters you say? Jesus would drive a Land Rover built before 1970. Because it's just simple transport man. Or a 2CV.
DS20 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 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. martc, Skizzer, oman5 and 2 others 5
twosmoke300 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Moses rode a triumph ! With goldstar silencers . That's why it could be heard in the hills DS20 and oman5 2
vulgalour Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Most of the fictitious characters I like that I can think of already have cars in their fictitious worlds. eddyramrod and NorfolkNWeigh 2
NorfolkNWeigh Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 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.That's only because Freda's Metro perished in the flood last week. Probably still sitting in the Amm (sp?) now
NorfolkNWeigh Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Fictitious characters you say? Jesus would drive a Land Rover built before 1970. Because it's just simple transport man. Or a 2CV.Yes,definitely pre 1970, in fact about 1,950 years before. Rusty_Rocket 1
vulgalour Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 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. eddyramrod 1

Junkman Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 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. eddyramrod 1
oman5 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 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. eddyramrod and Junkman 2
Justin Case Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 My favourite character in the Bible is Moses. He would obviously have driven an Amphicar.
anonymous user Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 My favourite character in the Bible is Moses. He would obviously have driven an Amphicar.Which also has some Triumph based parts
Doctormop Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 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!
