Carlos Fandango Wheels

[Lord_Isleworth]

Anyone old enough to remember this ad?

[FredTransit]

Me! I Do!

[Richard]

I do.

I'm afraid not!Anyone remember that Pirelli tyre advert from the 80's which had Riders On The Storm and I think the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse where in it. It was basically saying 'Our Tyres Won't Kill You K THNX BAI'. I remember seeing it as a 7 year old and thinking I will never see an ad as good as that (although if I saw it again it'd probably look awful).

Yes , very much so , still use Carlos fandango to discribe stupid mods

[M'coli]

I sort-of remember it - or do I just recognise the Carlos Fandango bit because I want to?

 

Then there's the non-shite Alvis TE21 convertible(I think) in this Panama advert:

Tip-top!

Not just me then

Not just me then

Not by any means!

[Gompo]

I'm sure somebody on another website (possibly Pistonheads) was claiming that either they or a contact had the original Carlos Fandango wheels from the advert, and was wanting to sell them.

I used to wonder where my nickname came from at work all those years ago, now I remember.

[nigel bickle]

Yup,remember it clearly ,& use it to describe 'daft mods' as well.

[seth]
