Default API Bridging the cultural divide for over 17 odd years!

And selling engines too boot.

As seen on a re-run of an old C4 comedy called Desmonds made in the early 90's!

Anyone remember it?

Cheeky advertising David

It got me thinking. Does anyone know of any other companies having their ads featured on the tv inadvertently?

That was 2 grand a week and Ex & M rationed advertisers to no more than 10 per year. The problem was that we got more calls from D*ckheads wanting to sell budgies and houses and so-on 'cos they thought the number on the cover was for the magazine not an advertiser.

It does get you a high profile and did contribute to sales of over 1000 engines per month in those days. Including a best ever of 165 Nissan Micra engines in one month. We kept over 400 of those in stock at any one time from a total stockholding of 5000 engines

Those were the days.

PS we were on Neighbours too as the Australian side of APi paid to put a fridge magnet on a fridge in a kitchen scene that was in camera for a whole minute. That lit the phones up. Sadly, at 10.00 oclock at night. It must have featured over here but I never saw it.
