did anyone else see the fairlane G220 ad during the state of origin just then???

i missed the start but it has a guy driving around in the g220 and people are looking and classy music is playing and he drives past a cheuffer (sp?) on the side of the road and it says

"Fairlane G220 Ditch the cheouffer (sp?)"

cool.

I saw it the other night on TV. Must say that I was very impressed

Good to see Ford in with some good marketing again.

What we used to see in an adbreak:

HOLDENHOLDENHOLDENHOLDENHOLDENHOLDEN

Now its more like:

HOLDENHOLDENFORDHOLDENHOLDENFORD

Much better I recon!

Thanks

Dane.

Only quickly saw it, and also missed the start. I was coming back from my tassie holiday and saw it on the spirit of tas. Did look like a good ad, except what turned my head around was the music, I thought it sounded crap....but I will have to wait until I see the ad properly without so many bloody people watching a stupid game.

Oh oh, now i've put my foot in it......

Yeah, but the music suits the people (well most of them) who will buy the car. Can't imagine the ad with AC/DC or Metallica in the background...

Now that I have seen the ad again, and from the very start with no people talking and annoying me, I think it is a really good ad, and the music does suit it. I love that slogan.

tassie holiday Viper?
had a good time
lovel little place, but you came in our coldest month
lol
hope you had a great time

FordHawk · 07-17-2003, 18:38

Yes it was a great holiday TS50, a place I have always wanted to go to. I don't mind the cold so it wasn't a problem. The only problem was that I didn't ask anyone on here which were the best places to go and eat etc. but I still think we went to some great places. The Port Arthur ghost tour was really good. That and the fact that we were in a Blueprint BA XR6.....my brother's car.

well we could have given you a few ideas, glad you had a great time. I live inLaunceston, but could have given you many hints across the state
Sorry people for the hijacking o the thread

I didn't see a fairlane down there (had to bring the thread back on track somehow) and I was really amazed at the Falcons I saw in Hobart, it seemed as though the were all wagons....I couldn't work it out. I also noticed a distinct lack of XRs in the whole of tas, not sure why...

tassie is a poor state
if you think of it
all of Tassie only has 480,000 people, just a suburb of melb or syd. and Disposal income in Tassie isnt high. The other thing is, that because we are a fairly small state in area, and are very parohical to our areas, people rarely leave their own areas, so dont need a good car.
And for some reason, we seem to be a pretty big state for Holden.
I think there ate only 4, maybe 5 T3 series cars in tassie for instance
