The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

I fear David that if you can fall asleep whilst Keeley Hawkes parades around in an endless array of off the shoulder numbers (with seductive black lingerie deliberately VERY visible through it), then you really do need to have a proper chat with yourself.

Now, did someone mention a quattro?......

Someone said that the Granada panda car was a facelift 1984 car, not knowing much about Fords I wouldn't know?

The Dolomite (I have a feeling) is the other car used in the Badly Drawn Boy video (when the car turned into the square lights version).

I will look forward to seeing it driven into the river!

Great show, who cares if the quattro is wrong it looks the business, sounds the business and had a hydraulic handbrake fitted to enable the sliding around!

Wasn't sure whether or not i'd like the show but I do, likewise I can never decide where I stand on Keeley Hawes, well the Jury has returned a verdict of seriosuly hot dressed up in all the 80's gear.

"Fire up the quattro" at least it will every time without fail. Probably one of the greatest lines of in recent times. Roll on next week with the Delorean.

Not seen it yet, but the Quattro was always something exclusive; would his character really be piloting one?

160 Quattro's left in UK apparently, the bloke I have just commissioned to sort quicksprint out for me had one on his ramps yesterday...

There arm some pictures of the Dolomite here.

Is it wrong that I really want an Audi Quattro now?

It is considerably less wrong than wanting a Suzi Quattro now.

I saw Suzi Quattro at my work at the end of last year, she's not too bad, even close up. Still in a lot of black leather. !!

Cheers Nath. Have to find a set of XXXL 1980's scuba gear to effect a rescue. Will I have to dress up like Adam Ant with the hair and lippy.

and its registered as dolomite 1300, which is unusal as film companys normally put on fake plates.

Cool thats a south london reg,good detail point,my 72 doly is SLK ***L

I was surprised that it was a genuine plate, I suspect it is a prop rather than being borrowed from its owner i.e. owned by the production co.

I can't help but think its the same car as the one in the Badly Drawn Boy music video, maybe because its green and a 1300

But I'm sure the one in the BDB video didnt have a nose badge either

Great minds...

No, the one in Badly Drawn Boy video (Well there are 2) the one with the Piano has a Webasto and sold on Ebay a while back and the other car that drives in the video has twin headlights. See for yourself! So the one in A2A is a different car!!!

In fact I believe the twin light version is in fact the same car used on an episode of Eastenders last year which was Kevin's project car which ended up rolling down into a bush. Again I could be wrong and can't find a video of it.
