This reminds me of that Spitfire commercial from about 76 or so, about the
time the Sabrina bumpers were put on it. They show the Spit doing varius
"amazing" things, mostly toodling around with the top off. Then the
announcer say "Lets see how the Spitfire handles running into a wall at 50
mph" They show a brick wall and the spit screaming at it. At the last second
the car zooms around the side of the wall. The screen goes all white with
the words "At British Leyland, We aim to miss" One of the best commercials I
remember from that day and age.
Well It has real LBC content, even if it is a Spit ;-)
