I don't mean to sound dumb...but what were they even attempting there?

Something dumb, I imagine.

Ford the river?

I like this, but it won't work.

F*cking brilliant ad.

[Matra et Alpine]

Definately a good'un and I'm booking my flight and emigrating
As much an ad FOR Australia as it is for safe driving !!

A couple of shots of the "relaxed" driver did have me thinking that in his calm dream state the next scene is him plowing in to a lampost as he admired the sunset

Some really old stuff.

Back when American car companies were truly competitive, not complacent.

[Matra et Alpine]

What were you thinking about "competitive, not complacent" NSX ?
That they were producing films ?
Diffs were old-tech by 1937

rofl ... when did a car EVER have a shaft running open in the rear passenger space ??

Love the extra wide wheels on the last clip .... clearly predating the tuner scene there

[Matra et Alpine]

Not an April Fool but definately a year round idiot !!

Go to 1:40 for the evidence.

[Matra et Alpine]

ah memories.

Jimmy was really unlucky on that years Manx, but a memorable 1-2-3 for Opel.
First time I've seen Michelle talk about her crash. Remember seeing the damage

F*cking brilliant ad.

TL: DR



Seriously? I agree with this. It's a good ad, and I genuinely caught myself breathing calmly, but the Speeding addage is a bit clunkily introduced, the message was good though.

The safety car driver is going to need to find a new job really soon.

Interesting idea- let's put the largest engine in this car!

Too bad they spoke too much. I wanted to hear the engine more.

[Matra et Alpine]

hmm sound , oh yes
iirc got into trouble at the 'Ring for exceeding noise limits ..... or maybe brought back memories !!!!

What's amazing on the run from UK to Nurburgring they averaged 15.1 mpg

[NSXType-R]

Wow, weight distribution in that thing must be 90% front, 10% rear if not more.

It's the inverse Porsche!

One crazy guy- he reminds me of Jay Leno's Tank car, except this is a much more grass roots kind of thing.

[Matra et Alpine]

With no weight overhanging in front of the front axle and if you look close the rear of the engine is where the steering wheel is so the gearbox has to be at or behind the driver and he sits well back it may not be that bad Especially as there is 27 litres of empty space in that engine

Dont think this guys worries about stuff like that though !!!!

Wonder how stiff the springs have to be
