Volvo 340 crash test dummy video

Post by **bogbasic** » 21 Aug 2007 03:44 pm

Does anyone have a link to the volvo 340 advert that used to be on telly in the 1980's showing a volvo 340 driving though the side of a building and crash landing on the ground. Dummy walks away etc...

I don't want to see it, but I know someone who does.

I looked around the net for this ages ago and couldn't find it anywhere.

As for converting it, I just used an old VHS hooked up to the PC and did it that way. Worked great for transfering old Home Movies onto PC for proper reedits and rereleases on DVD.

The Old adverts are great, the one i allways remember is the Crash Test Dummies refusing to get into a 480 as they didnt think it looked like a Volvo.
