Poundland Vauxhall & Austin Video Shite!

[gtd2000]

Was in Poundland for a gander at the weekend while picking up some hayfever tablets (7 for £1) and spotted this title in the video section - might be of some interest:

 

 

....In other news:

On the way out of Galashiels, I popped into Aldi and discovered that they sell the very same hayfever tablets as Poundland but instead of 7 tablets for a quid you get 14 for 69p!!!

 

Danke schone Herr Aldi

 

So if you need a shite night in watching the telly and your hay fever is playing up - don't say I didn't tell you!

WANT!

 

Gonna have to get myself down to Poundland at some point if they're selling that kind of funk. I only know of one in Dudley, which is quite depressing.

Never mind that - Dennis the Menace: Cruise Control with the Tom Arnold!

[Negative Creep]

Sweet. How much did it cost?

[Station]

Honestly, who produces DVD's like this?

Hey nice one, athough its £2.99 more than the Poundland one it'll save me a trip to Dudley, now thats worth paying £2.99 for.

That Maxi doesn't appear to be on the DVLA.

 

At least it's not the SPASTOMAXI:

 

[Rod/b]

The RAC car data check is handy if you're not sure of the make or model.

Too true!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

So what's actually on this DVD? Is it just static photos of Vauxhalls and Austins poached off flickr while some guy reads their wikipedia articles, or is there archive footage?

[Rod/b]

There's a clip on this ebay listing: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... rid=229508

 

Looks like the odd bit of video interspersed with static photo zoom action and Spectrum 48k style lettering.

My local Poundland doesn't have the DVD in stock. It does have several mid-late 1990s CD albums by once-popular artists, though
