Wierd enough when I saw that ad over here I told Natasa that must be in south africa. :)
So many ads showing over here are filmed in SA and I always notice it for some reason... either the mountains, schenes, kind of iron gates in front of houses of the building style...
Nice one newguy

Nice, how much did they pay you?
My Type 3 Ghia (Pampoen) was used in a Clover Danone ad a few years ago. It only featured for a split second :( ,after a whole morning's filming! All I had to do was to get the car into the right spot for the cameras. I got a big breakfast, snacks and refreshments during the day and a lekker lunch, and on top of it R2500 in my bank account :D :drunks:

No problem Dam, I have a mate who spent his life savings restoring one of those type 34's, only to have petrol spilt on the spark plugs and in no time it returned to a piece of scrap. He is now on the second attempt.

Funny thing is that just the other night I told Chris about this Waitrose ad and the Combi :wink: I am always happy to see a ACVW in the media. Except for that one French ad for new car insurance, where a Notch gets SMASHED UP by the one guy with a hammer :shock: :evil:

A Type 34 is like a Type 3 Holy Grail :)

Us peasants with normal Type 3 Fasties, Notches and Variants can only dream of a Type 34 :lol:
