238722 2004-05-23 09:28:00 Has anyone noticed the add on the telly with the driver of the red VW looking in the boot for the motor and they say "not everyone's an expert on cars". And then the camera shows steam coming coming out from under the bonnet. Looks like the people who made the add aren't experts either. gerrypics (323)
238723 2004-05-23 09:35:00 why? The car broke down and they thought the engine was in the back? but it wasn't.. MrBeef (342)

Steam, from an air cooled engine? Poetic license?

238726 2004-05-23 10:25:00 Maybe they overclocked it without upgrading their cooling solution. Shaun Minfie (2961)

238728 2004-05-23 10:44:00 BTW.... The advert is a dose of humour. My favourite advert is the one about the Insurance Assesors from AMI who run into all the wheely bins. Thats funny as Baldy (26)

238730 2004-05-23 16:52:00 What gets me is that the only adverts I tend to take notice of are for a new product to see if it would be usefull to me so that basically makes 99.9% of adverts a waste of time.
The old VW Beatle did float very well because it was so well sealed. You had to almost open a window to close a door properly.

238731 2004-05-24 06:47:00 Have you considered the fact that a water pipe may have been leaking onto the extremely hot engine, therefore causing water vapour to emit from it into the camera's view? Growly (6)
