at the risk of being banned

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I don't know about a ban but a good kicking may be in order to knock some sense in to you
Aqua should all be lined up and shot.

There are quite a few music videos that are good with the sound off. even some rap "music" videos are OK if muted ;)

That looks like it started out as a 2 door cortina from the continent that has had it's roof
hacked off and a metal strip placed over the gaps etc. The reason I say a 2 door or should
I say coupé rather than the 4 door option is the length of the doors which look too long to
be from a 4 door. Pink yuck and yellow door handles and locks
(where is a vomiting smile when you need one?)

In the name of good taste, I refused to add a vomiting smiley.
Given the age of the music video, I suspect that whatever the car was, it is now coke cans.

Never mind the scabby pink Ford(?) :lol: , if you pause the film at around 2:07, the scantily clad young woman in the shot has an incredibly rare Sony WM-F73 (possibly a 63 as both used the same shell but the 73 has FM right down to the Japanese TV band at 76MHz, apart from UK versions which have the same 88-108 range as the 63, etc.... :oops: )

Sorry to be the Walkman anorak :ugeek: but hey, at least the following isn't a close up of Claus' hairstyle:

Excuse me whilst I tone my adenoids...

Ahem.

I think you'll find that as its a left hand drive vehicle, it would more than likely be a Taunus rather than a Cortina. Both were available as a 2 door, although the UK Cortina 2 door is a rather rare beast.
