I thought it would never end though....
So amazing... definitely read the <a href='http://www.dailytelegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/04/13/nhonda13.xml&sSheet=/news/2003/04/13/ixhome.html' target='_blank'>Daily Telegraph article - 607 takes!!!</a>
Jeez, imagine if it had been a COOL car <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
in the UK. Some of it doesn't make sense
(i.e round things rolling up hill, and there's also a
huge lack of momentum for some of those events to
be fully completed) but either way its
a great attention grabbing ad.
OMG H4X!!!!
but, it IS funny <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yea when i saw that too i thought... 'ahh its all CGI and special effects suff....!' But apparently those tyres did actually roll uphill!!!
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

haha.. yea <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Haha, I remember that game. It came with my old 95 PC, but it stopped working when we upgraded to Win98. I had some good times with that, lol.
Cool ad. I like the part with the nails swinging around. And that funny little walking robot thing.
Oh, and its quite a nice car. Unlike you Americans, we didnt decide to set up our contry over vast deserts and wasteland, so we dont need Monster Trucks. We also prefer style to giant frickin' engines, and petrol economy to... say, invading Iraq to get more oil for the cars? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
(oops, forgot to tell you the name of the design company)
No worries, we hate 'em too.
You had me there all the way until you called it a British car. When did Honda stop being Japanese? Just because they put the steering wheel on the wrong side doesn't make it a Mini, you chowderhead...

Ehhh, no, YOU decided to setup our country that way. Remember, redcoat? Or are you still too dazed from the arse-whupin' we gave Cornwallis, that bloated british bufoon?

Yes, nothing says fuel economy like a British Jaguar. The new S-type gets a whopping 16 miles per gallon city. About half of the SUV models made in 2003 get better mileage than all Jaguars (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/byclass.htm). And don't give me some line about Jaguar being owned by ford, it's still all the classic Jaguar 'craftsmanship'... ^_^
Jesus, I can't imagine the pain.
Besides, North America is pretty big. Can't have lush farmland on every square inch of the place.
Whilst Honda is a japanese company the new Honda Accord was designed in this country and for the most part built in the UK. We brits do tend to get attached to cars that are even remotely british simply because we no longer have the car industry we used to have so many of us do go along with the asumption that Honda is British. (aha!... its designed here!! It MUST be british!) Strange I know but you cant knock one person for going along with the majority of the what the country thinks... Personally I call it a jap car though. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Which is why its sold about 12 cars in the UK since its release... (Not actual figures but im just bieng sarcastic to get across the point that the car has sold poorly over here. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
Nice ad, I thought it would never end <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then you posted it here so i watched it again and found it to be funny.
606 takes... How many days is that?
seen an "English Dictionary" but never an
"American Dictionary"
My point?...... I don't have one <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
*runs away*
Yes, but ye olde classic Mini doesn't have miles per gallon - it does lightyears per gallon instead.
...which is now a BMW product <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
