Ahh, the Torchwoodmobile.

GWEN: Excuse me. Have you seen a Blowfish driving a sports car?
(The woman points down the road.)
GWEN: Thank you.
(They drive on.)
WOMAN: Bloody Torchwood.

I always wondered why the Torchwood Team had the word "Torchwood" engraved on their vehicle. Whatever happened to relying on licence plates? It's more discreet.

It was certainly a bit indiscreet, but I guess it was an emergency vehicle so it had to be noticeable.

Thank you!

I see your point.

The random woman being annoyed at Torchwood was suppose to be an in joke or something? Maybe it was an indicator that things weren't going so well without Jack. But then the next scene after Jack comes back where he's observing them all contradicts it. I maybe reading more into it.*shrugs*

No problem! Do people still say that?

I think it's supposed to indicate that most people in Cardiff have heard of Torchwood, but nobody really knows what they do so they're seen as an annoyance. They never get the credit they deserve but they get blamed for a lot of things.

Of course that makes Gwen seem even more stupid because everyone knows about Torchwood except her.
