I drove cars all their cars all day long. This was a really good car and I remember it well, the 4x4 worked well (for grip) but the steering was a bit weird iirc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad had a couple of Senators and I had a mk3 Cavalier. Good cars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Charlton 2.5 Charlton Bluebird Turbo's underrated brilliant car. 300ZX 200sx All Lotus's I drove most things around that time, it was ace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vauxhall I think the Vauxhall versions were called Royale initially, but when the facelifted model came out it became the Senator. Anyhoo, it was one of these in dark grey. Afterwards he had the mark 2 in this very colour, but he never liked it as much as the older one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted September 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2022 For whatever reason, this advert popped into my head this evening. Although it’s doing a much better job of displaying the charm of Peter O’Toole than it is displaying the product it’s meant to be advertising.

Mark Albrighton Posted December 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2022 Was VT talking about Guinness recently? I think we were. Anyway, it put me in mind of this advert. My (pre teen/teen) recollection was that in the mid 90’s Murphy’s kinda went for it in terms of marketing, trying to go toe to toe with Guinness. Obviously not how it panned out, but the “But like the Murphy’s…I’m not bitter” slogan is fairly durable I think, so it must have done something right. I rather like this wistful charm of this in contrast to the (also good) arty Guinness surfers/horses advert around the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) A memorable slogan - including the name of the product - is essential. There's an ad that currently shows incessantly on some of the 'property programme' channels. It features an animated log of wood talking about how to get a good night's sleep, in various mildly amusing scenarios. I've seen it scores, maybe even hundreds of times. I assume it's advertising mattresses, but the name of the product? I have no idea. Fail. Edited December 17, 2022 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
