Default Things ain't wot they used to be...

Every bit as cliched as the movie - apparently ….a fulminating coffee cup -really? Takes me all the way back to the (American) Budweiser adverts of the 1980s, with the frothy overflowing bottles

Whatever happened to smart Audi adverts that focussed on the core values of the brand?

If off to bed now to read the Beano with my cup of Horlicks...

It's American/USA - their Audi/Merc/BMW adverts make me 'wanna hurl' - aimed at dizzy salon workers.

They don't even have Vorsprung Durch Technik because they can't understand it - they say Truth in engineering.

Ford do it better

Love the look of this new Mustang, and starts at just £28,995.

Read this in the spec that made me laugh:

“In addition, all cars will be supplied with a limited-slip differential and a line lock, which is a method of locking the front brakes to enable you to do rear-tyre burnouts.”

Yep I do like that mustang
They have the looks of it just right this time, much sleeker than the last one.
More like the original in many ways hope they have got the interior right they always seem to fail there !
Can't beat the yanks for a muscle car though

Thanks for that cheers Glyn
