Just watched the excellent movie "Ronin" on the flight to Uk from Kathmandu. For those not aware it is about a plot to get a box containing "something" and it ends up with irish, russian, italian criminals all involved trying to get hold of this mysterious box.
So it made me wonder what Italian car i would choose if I wanted a low-key vehicle for such inevitable car chases! It would have to be reliable so it wouldn't let me down at the critical moment (maybe that's why they chose a big Audi!), but at the same time it would need to be fast. I wouldnt want it to stand-out too much though, and four doors would be necessary to carry my heavies with me! Any thoughts? Lancia Thema 8.32? Alfa 166 3 litre? Maserati Quattroporte seems like a good don's car, but maybe too expensive to throw around like these guys do.
