Is it me or is there a sliver wagon in an advert on the telly at the minute..

The door is openned and the car driving down the street nearly hits it.. I saw it the other evening and thought it was a Scooby Wagon and never got a chance to see the advert again to check..

I think the advert is for insurance.. ends with a Renault 5 being hit by a satalite.

Anyone else confirm?

JGM

PS: Yes I am sad for noticing.

There's a silver Scooby in the Honda advert where all the kids in some African country are watching a film about driving in Croydon (or somewhere).

That Scoob is in Orpington High Street, about 500 yards from my sister's house. Apparently she had a bit of a double-take when she first saw that on telly!

I have only seen the Silver Wagon.. so does that me have a half life?

So should we write and complain that they are wrongly portraying a Scooby Driver with the door opening without looking?

I think we should all march infront of their office HQ, until they publicly apologise for portraying us like that

No hold on... doh!

More Scoobies on TELLY.

League of Gentleman, Series two, a coach load of Germans travelling to Royston Vasey. The camera is fixed on the german talking to the passengers with the road ahead in the background, a line of Cars has an Impreza Turbo in it.

Personally , im waiting for 'TV nightmares' where the outside broadcaster has to stop filming cause the Car going past has a Scoobysport exhaust and it scares the **** out of the newscaster.

I noticed the old dude on Emmerdale has a Forrester, I think I'm more sad for watching Emmerdale than spotting it was a scoob

I have seen the Forester on Emmerdale too... sadly! not a regular watcher though, honest

Had forgotten about that though until you said it..

I think there was an Impreza in the garage there too, didn;t see it but read about it on here.

Thumbs up

I can confirm that the silver Subaru nearly having it's door swiped is on the RAC insurance advert, where the Ren 5 gets smacked by a stricken satelitte.

Spotted it as well and it's got the spoilers so I presume it's a turbo.

What's worrying is why the ***** driving the R5 is on the right hand side of the road!!

The satellite ending is class though!
