Subject:      Re: TV VW Sighting

They're running an ad in Australia at the moment which features a squareback Type 3. It's carrying two comely young ladies who are feeling the heat in outback Australia. They come across a handsome young man working on top of a steel watertank.

One lass climbs to the top of the tank to talk to the lad and the next thing you know he's lopping the top off the Type 3 with a 9" angle grinder and the girls drive off in an instant convertible.

I actually can't remember what was being advertised, and I saw it two nights ago, but I remember the details about the VW.

There's another ad being run here which has a young couple in a mid '70s microbus on a long trip. Unfortunately, he should have stopped for a rest because he nods off and runs into the side of a semi trailer tipper. Rather scary.

Negative effect for VWs. Some people have actually said to me after I bought my bus "Aren't they dangerous? I saw that one on the ad on telly" The point was, of course, that it's dangerous to drive when your tired, not about VWs.
