Hope it wasn't their whole 2013-2014 financial year advertising budget.

Can't have been all of it, there was a Terry add about 7pm last night on one of the commercial channels (maybe 7 or 10) here in Sydney. I caught it as I was flipping.

Holden must have been too busy embarrassing themselves at the Nürburgring to send Drive their cheque this month.

But seriously, a buck from Ford is worth the same as a buck from anyone else.

Good to see, now some nice big adds on a drive in sized boards on the road side with eco boost on it would be nice, won't hold my breath though.

They didn't bother advertising Ecoboost when it was released, why bother doing it now when they are building 2 a day.

All aboard the failboat.

Ford wouldn't have directly advertised on Drive. Their ad agency would have placed it with the likes of Google Ads, Drive simply sell the banner space to Google Ads and when you arrive on the website, it calls google ads asking for an ad, typically passing your browsing habits to them so they can chose a targeted ad.

ie, start browsing for say 'hot girls' on the net and you will start seeing ads for 'bored housewives', 'lonely hot women in your area' type ads ;)
