ROCKER Noel Gallagher has been so inspired by Ashes To Ashes he’s desperate for a retro Audi Quattro.
The Oasis star is reportedly gagging to get in the driving seat of the 1980s motoring icon.
Pals say Noel, 40, has set aside up to £20,000 for his 140mph dream supercar.
A friend said: “Noel reckons he can get a Quattro in good condition for about £10,000 – though he might double that for the right car.
“He will want a top-notch stereo system and possibly some body kit too, which won’t be cheap.”
Experts claim the Audi is set for an explosion in popularity thanks to Ashes To Ashes, the spin-off from Life On Mars. That show sparked the “Cortina effect” after DCI Gene Hunt, (Philip Glenister, 44) got viewers drooling over the Ford Cortina Mark III.

He touched Noel's leg?! Lucky bastard! ;D *fanatic moment over* so I think I've read that the infamous RR was custom made for him (short guy driving on the wrong side of the road...) and he couldn't even drive it! that's why I find the fact that he wants another car a bit lame might only be a rumor though, it's in facts of fiction...

He touched Noel's leg?! Lucky bastard! ;D *fanatic moment over* It was a female driving instructor who was...how should I say...slightly overweight. She made Noel drive in London to a school when all the children came and were looking at Noel in that little Nissan Micra, then his driving instructor made Noel drive to her mum's house to say hello to her ;D classic....

That's funny, I watched an interview with Noel yesterday where he spoke about that. Apparently he gave up trying to drive after the driving instructor incident.

Ashes to Ashes is the sequel of a masterpiece of television, "Life on Mars".
Fire up the Quattro!
