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.

hello, there is a post from March 2005 with some piccies and Shimon340 claims to have the advert on video. Perhaps we should ask nicely?

hi there

yep, my dad found it on a recording of star wars from tv in the eighties. At some point we need to watch the films to find the add. my bro in law works in IT and has ideas how we can mak a DVD of the VHS film then convert it to some file type we could post somewhere!

i havent forgotten, just need a VHs, popcorn and some time to watch the star wars trilogy.....

Who is willing to donate the popcorn?

I have a popcorn machine in the garage

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.

850 over the canyon on rails! Anyone remember that?

any progress chaps???

how was the starwars trilogy?


it would a great vid to watch
