Rover 800 Fastback - Schnell - UK Advert

[tstanb]

What about those cringeworthy Rover ads with Rosalyn Landor as the doting wife of the yuppie prat businessman (can't remember his name, sorry!) "We've got the backing and we're starting our own business".......

Oh David, that's wonderful!", etc, etc.....

Pass the sick bucket!

Now, my German's not back and can certainly follow it well with the English subtitles, but what does he say to the question, Schnell?

"In England ______ ist Fastback".

I would have thought he'd have used "der Name ist" or "heist er" or is it that I can't follow Schwäbisch well?

Genius.

Great car and great ad.

Splendid advert. The punchline is suprising, music creates unique athmosphere.

Brilliant advert, could be mistaken for a Audi advert nowadays.

I love this ad. the interior shots sum up exactly what was so good about the 800. The body is very pretty too
