MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - MG Z AD ON TV

Recorded a programme on Channel 4 on Monday evening and watched it last night,the beauty of which you can fast forward through the adverts,so there i was whizzing through the boring ads when suddenly i see this red car and i thought,that looked like an MG,and sure enough it was,a ZT in fact,though you dont get to see the whole car on the move,just brief glimpses in between this bloke talking about his unhealthy lifestyle.Then at the end you see the R,S,& T-T stood still as the camera moves round them with the captions underneath,High Caffeine,Maximum Strength etc.Not the greatest ad in the world but nice to see them unexpectedly on the box.Best car ads at the moment have to be the Skoda ones,very funny,especially the one where the bloke gets out at the lay-by and runs across the field after being told he can have a drive!,excellent.

..They are now cropping up on Eve. prime time ITV (In the Central (west) region at least) and on Sky, too. It is a slighty edited version of the one we have all seen, and sadly, they have erased the engine roar which accompanied the "Life's too short not to" payoff line.

Yes I saw the add too last night in Aglia TV region! :-)

Laughed out loud when I saw the latest version last night ".. with leather interior- hey, at least it isn't fur!"

Brilliant! ;oD

Hey guys
I saw it too
so maybe all my rantings in MG World did get through!
...jeez it seems to be working with sales up so much, OK margins are slim but at least they are margins.

I think they should keep up the leery ads.

Cant wait until the V8's arrive at £25g's it's got to be worth having a look at even if buying new cars goes against my religion.

Currently running a project at Volvo so its great to have an MG

The programs on Extreme TV (satellitechannel) are sponsered by MG. Adverts go something like "The extreme scene, sponsered by MG."

From a Corrado ad: "Accelerates from 0 to 60 in less time than it takes to say 'What seems to be the problem, officer?'"

How times change.
