Guest Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 After a tip-off from Vicsmith I hit up Youtube to see the video for the woeful 1996 smash (s)hit "Babybird - You're Gorgeous" on the basis that it had some weird old Mitsubishi in it and its fate didn't bode well. Let's have a look. £20 is a bit cheap, wonder what this is? A Tredia?! A TREDIA?! A FUGGIN TREDIA?! OH OH THAT'S IT NOW ..... (shakes with rage) (hyperventilates into a paper bag) AMENDED. This is an Autoshite call to arms - I want you to stop at nothing in the campaign to exterminate these subhuman Sheffield scrotes. Wanted - DEAD. Rest of tragedy on video (mute your computer before playback): http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=b14h8o2v1JQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon M Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'll happily execute them for you, Hirst - to be honest they were on my list even before I saw those pictures!If I've got any ammo left I'll get the feckin' Arctic Monkeys for what they did to that Marina too.........

pogweasel Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Bastards, I'd forgotten about that. Anyway, they were shit, and I bet that big-faced twat is working in 'Coral' or something. Plus the version by the Shirehorses (You're Gormless) was ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 1996 music video for 'Radio on', Ricky Ross (formerly of Scot Band Deacon Blue) is seen watching a Renault 25 being winched out from a harbour What Video is it from the 80's that has 4 lads driving about in a PA Cresta going a bit mad????

Cavcraft Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 If I've got any ammo left I'll get the feckin' Arctic Monkeys for what they did to that Marina too......... They didn't restore it did they? Bunch of bastards, anyone who saves a Marina deserves a right good kicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hey, that Mitsubishi would have been 13 years old at the time - like smashing up an N-reg galant now. Not that I'm saying it would be OK to smash a N-reg galant because it clearly wouldnt be. But not as serious as smashing an A-reg tredia in 2008.

But not as serious as smashing an A-reg tredia in 2008.The Tredia had serious shite potential from new though, it would have been an absolute obscurity by 1996. I'd say it was more like smashing up one of those Sigma V6 saloons today, which would still not be acceptable. Even if it had a knackered autobox.Therefore, a beating is still in order.

But not as serious as smashing an A-reg tredia in 2008.But alot more serious than smashing up a 1983 Metro or Escort, even then! Why is it so cool to smash up & destroy an old car?

reallyloud Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Travis released a few singles some 10 years ago that featured a Vauxhall Viva E and an Opel Manta A. Fortunately I don't think they smashed them up, but I think they blew up a mk3 Escort in one of them. No idea what it adds to the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
