ade, that sounds like the ad script the FIAT people should have used

Michael: You know, it only took FIAT 18 months to get this car from sketches on a drawing board to full production.
Kimi: Really?
Michael: Yes, they did all their critical testing on computers.
Kimi: Uh-huh
Michael: Usually manufacturers take about 4 years to design and build a completely new car then test it until they’re fully satisfied with its reliability.
Kimi: …
Michael: How many DNFs have you suffered due to mechanical failure?
Kimi: Hmm…. you’d better drive.
Michael: Great! I’ve got my roadside assistance card – I get a 10% discount now I’m a pensioner!
Kimi: I know this great pub that’s just down the road…

Is there a writer’s strike on over there, too? I think any of your readers could have written a much more engaging (and fun)ad. Still, I like the car. Gotta love Europe.

Pretty lame in comparison, unless it transpires something really funny was said. Mercedes managed to make a great ad without the drivers exhanging any dialogue….
In the self-evaluation section select a single technical skill and a single personal quality to analyse. State your current strengths/weaknesses in each and how you plan to develop them further.

There

The only good ad done between Kimi and Schumi, I think, is the Jonny Walker one on the aircraft carrier (Kimi)…albeit having a somewhat tenuous link to the actual brand and point of the ad.
