You sure it's a 309? I think that's too old.

Okay, from what we can gather ( remember) it was a good looking woman having a fantasy about a bloke, hence the "nice car" comment. This carries on but the bubble bursts later when "her man" comes home, opens the door and his kids run up to him. He says something along the lines of "hi kids!, where's your mother?" and that's where the woman's bubble bursts back to reality.

I reckon it's between 2 and 4 years old and could be a 206 or possibly 306. It may have been a series of ads as well along the same time as "Nicole and Papa" with the Renault Clio.

Think it was the 306,i think in the sequel he replied "it'll break down lot's and when we sell it some chav will fit some phat rims and do some burnout's at maccy d's in it"
Or is that only round here that happens?

Not sure where it was filmed, but it's buggin the h*ll out of us for the right answer!.

Everybody you ask knows the advert but nobody knows for sure what it was.

The only 406 one i remember sticking in my mind at around that time was the one where they drove a 406 through a blazing field or forest or something with the tune "take my breath away" as the theme tune.

Pug 306. Think it was either the XSi or S16 version. Advert was probably around 1996 (when I had an XSi)?

the alfa ad is about a woman and a man supposedly meeting in a club and pulling. going home in the car fast and furious and when they get home the kids turn up with the baby sitter. happy ending.

the fantasy ad is for the 206.

maybe.

Blimey, is this still going on.
Hoped there would be an answer by now.
My thoughts have been either Alfa or 306.

Still, that doesn't help does it?? Daz

Nope... not Renault. I'm sure this advert was on at the same time as the Nicole/Papa thing with the Clio.
