Last night I dreamed I worked for an Ad agency & came up with a brilliant idea for a tv ad to sell a new dualcab........First I found a rough quarry type locality & flogged the ute around that on full lock with
wheels spinning until I got the front about a foot off the ground.......bang....down we came .....great stuff....& ideal to
give the
suspension components a jolly good wacking....just the
thing to rearrange wheel alignment.....also a good demo on how to get the
water out of puddles, how to stuff the cd player..& how to get the glove box open.... Then I got the lads to drop
big heaps of logs, gravel, & old engines etc into the back from a great height.......wow, watch that rear
suspension work.... see
the dents appear in the floorpan ... while the paint dissapears at a
similar rate....watch the drivers head form an imprint in the cab roof.......& then.........bugger..........I woke up on the lounge...
& there on the telly was MY AD.......someone had beaten me to it.........not bloody fair.........oldbaz.

Hi Oldbaz
I allways wonder who buys these vehicles after the ad agencies have
finished with them,the Ad you just described, and the Ads where
they drive the vehicles through Salt
Water on
the Beach, some poor
customer who would'nt have a clue what they have been through.
Cheers

Like the vehicles on Top Gear after the great photo shoot along
the beach.

I would be pretty worried about the mental state of any person that purchased something simply due to the TV advertising.
If we lived by that..then all I would need to skydive, use a palm tree to drop into a convertable, ride a horse down a beach or laze in a waterfall is a womans sanitary napkin??

Most vehicle ads these days are about selling a 'feeling' not the vehicle itself.
Look at the latest Nissan Navara ad. Total rubbish. You see the truck for about ten seconds and then have the enjoyment of watching blokes playing soccer in bobcats for the rest of the time!
I'd like to see a slow pan through the interior instead thanks Mr Nissan.Or maybe a shot of its offroad prowess/pulling power maybe?
As for Ford's Andrew Symonds in a towel walking through a carwash......pleeeease!
Just my thoughts.
