Getaway Vehicle!... - Land Rovers Only

01001010 · 08-29-2005, 10:26 PM

Guys, if you had to write/produce a film with a chase scene similar to the one in The Professional what vehicle would you choose as the getaway vehicle?

To be honests, the new RR Sport would make one hell of a getaway veh.!!!

I do like the previous model BMW760s that appear in BMW Films.

What are some others that you guys think would make the cut?...

What standards should a vehicle for this purpose go by?

lol..you'd think I'm planning some sort of robbery!

"IF" i were to runaway from the police, i'd get a lotus elise. itll fit into any hole you can find and handles better than almost all other road cars. unfortunately, there isnt much trunk space all the cash or goods youve just stolen....

HAHA..llersa, thank you for participating..I didnt think I'd get any serious feedback....very true about the lotus and trunk space!...BUT...If I WERE to use that vehicle for some sort of getaway, I'd use it if i stole something small, like a ridiculously large diamond, that'll fit in my pocket or what not.

Have you guys ever seen the movie "The Transporter" with Jason Stathem? Good movie, all about the getaway.

01001010 · 08-29-2005, 11:20 PM

roverX · 08-29-2005, 11:29 PM

I concur. Ronin rocked.

01001010 · 08-29-2005, 11:32 PM

HEKS YEss...

What about an Aston Martin...big enough boot for a large case full of, money maybe?..lol...good power, hood handleing, and you getaway in comfort

darkknight1999 · 08-29-2005, 11:39 PM

Ronin is the chase seen everyone wants to watch over and over and over... and then drive to the Audi dealer the next day and drop $100K on a smooth new S8... those cars are so nice!

However if I needed a great gateaway car I would have to use the M5 myself, those cars are just flat out ridiculous, I love driving them. Highly tuned right from the factory.

or the new M6 would be fun I bet

01001010 · 08-29-2005, 11:49 PM

Drouling!!....you couldnt be any more righ J...and I think the newer M5s...even more ridiculous!!!

HFsdisco · 08-30-2005, 04:27 AM
