M'coli Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Discussion on another thread about Steve McQueen and the Bullitt chase scene nicely coincided with a recent BBC radio podcast where the excellent Clive James points out that it's not the best scene in the fillum: I was reminded of the Puma advert where they patched in scenes of McQueen in a Puma going around the same streets etc..The fact that it still works is amazing: this advert was first shown 20 years ago...and I still think it's cool as fuck.

sheffcortinacentre Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The mustang ad for the recently replaced version has a "field of dreams" theme is very good with Bullitt clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Vid-yo car adverts please! If anyone can find the advert with the Cavalier-based Saab 900 Turbo doing the longest 0-to-90-degrees handbrake turn on a frozen lake you have my eternal gratitude.

flat4alfa Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 How many Ital owners got their new purchase home and pondered whether they had been misled? When I was an impressionable 9 year old, it did look cool (to me) to see an old Marina thrown about like this. Looked so nimble and pokey - and sounded like a SuperMirafiori!
