You've seen it then??

Surprised it took this long for anyone to notice!!!

The look on the professors face, when he "drops" the baseball bat to the chav Guinea pig and his 'ASBO' girlfriend - its one of fear and concern. They must have used their EGG card to buy the scooby along with the baseball bat, naff jewellery and trainers.

I *think* the 'ASBO' girlfriend is pregnant - will confirm next time I see the advert.

The fact that large financial companies have seen the "Scoob - A.S.B.O" connection really speaks volumes.

It's become almost accepted as part of life, and it now seems the association has finally stuck....

For once, we agree....in part.

There are a hell of a lot of GTi-6 owners that are chavs. The difference between I, and some others on this site is that we don't own a GTi-6 to look cool, to cruise, to tart up or to polish. We use the Pug to do what it does best - that being hammering the bolllox off it on track.

Both cars are owned by chavs - unfortunately, more so own scoobs.....and even more so buy them in some delluded attempt to look good, respected and liked. A common misconception of many of this sort of "person".

HTH.

I 'hear' that on the launch of the new card, they had 6 foot guinea pigs wandering round the call centre....

I don't think you should read into the ad too much, the main point of the ad is that it's a new product that no-one else has done before - the rest is just very funny and clever advertising......

Altho the amount of people who were telling me that there was a scooby in the ad was unreal when it first aired...

Exactly - track cars aren't supposed to look nice. After masses of posts I think we see each others point now.....finally!!!

Dare I say though, I think there are better track cars than heavy Impreza's though.
