Gene Hunt - Lets fire up the Quattro.

[ideologger]

You've just been Quattro'd!

[mike160593]

love the way everyone turns slowly and waits for him like god entering the room :P

[Londa1027]

now there's controversy over who actually coined the phrase! supposedly the writers had FIRE UP THE PRINCESS or some crap. and it was adlibbed to quattro by the actor playing hunt.

[Niercaaa]

Can't wait to finish restoring my quattro and fire it up!

[blainyrules]

'JLY' - would go well on my dad's number plate.

[TurboRatownik]

I'll fire up me Bike:D

[cgd27]

best music to go with the part gene hunt coming out of office - the clash londons calling

[VisualSoldier1]

@cgd27 im sorry you should be very embarrassed because that was "I fought the law" by the Clash

[cgd27]

@VisualSoldier1 i know what the music was I was just saying i personally would have dubbed it with londons calling thats all no need to get your panties in a twist

[Mythiqal]

I have a friend who actually bought a 1983 Audi Quattro in red because she loves this so much... I love telling her to "Fire up the Quattro" whenever we go anywhere in it!

[cgd27]

@Mythiqal i want one 2



[VisualSoldier1]

@Mythiqal how much would one of those cost might i ask?

[Mythiqal]

@VisualSoldier1 I think my friend got hers for about £4,000, but we had to re-build the engine as it was broken (:

[TheSean42]

i'm so fuckin glad i've got the t-shirt that bears the fire up the quattro legend :)

[MythMandrake]

Glad I had BBC America when Ashes to Ashes came out!

[charger19691]

I wish I could watch this on Tv in America, got to get the DVD's! Life on Mars and Ashes To Ashes, simply brilliant! Bravo!!!!

[eGavik]

What's the music that plays in the beginning (not I Fought the Law).

[BryanMann85]

@eGavik The only song I can think of off the top of my head would be "Are Friends Electric" by Gary Newman. If by the beginning do you mean when Alex first arrives in the 80's.

[eGavik]

@BryanMann85 I meant the orchestral music when Gene steps out of the office.

[avrillavigne1424]

woooow! what a legend!

[MattieKirby1]

you actually filmed this with a camera? how dumb are you?

[Tommanc1]

[blackpoolrok]

I love everything 80s and I really tried to like the series. But I just didnt get

into it - mainly because I hate anything to do with police dramas.

[sweethalo100]

[EcirpWehttam]

[mrsgenehunt]

thanks but i didnt mean that bit-my bad for not putting it more eloquently, i meant the bit where he opens the office door and says the quattro line...

[crofty1984]

It's "I fought the law (and the law won)"

[mrgradylong]

[williammentz]

"I Fought the Law" the Clash's version.

Right after he opens the door and they show the car.
