Thats actually a pretty cool ad.

Wouldnt be shown on tv nowadays since it invovles dangerous and negligent driving. Oh and of course they have to be speeding.

Lol it cracks me up when I see people remove a factory cold air intake from their car and bolt on a pod filter.

I once saw a bloke with a carbie Lancer, '96 I think. he had extended the intake tube of the factory air filter with some PVC piping and duct tape, and added a pod filter to the end. I checked to see if he had removed the factory air filter at least. Nope.

"The pod makes it go faster."

I assume it was meant to be "7.5/10", but instead it says "7.5/100".

Whoops

Sadness felt for the F6 owner who wanted them!

Awesome ad! (gotta love the vintage car ads, regardless of the brand..)

I especially like 0:47 where the v8 is towing a yacht, the 6 towing a fishing boat and the CAMIRA SUPER WAGON's towing a dinghy!
