that would be 79p! BUT I didn't have to pay the petrol OR waste my time a boot sale... so I reckon I win.

PLEASE don't say that you also got 10 other Brian May songs that you also love!

Default driven by you ad

can anyone help!!..when was this advert first shown on British TV? I remember it was around Christmas time..even perhaps Christmas day..but which year? Also how long was the original ad?..I have found a version on YouTube about one & a half mins long..but it just doesn't seem as long as I remember it! The original filled the entire ad slot ...3 mins approx? Is my memory correct..or am I losing it?

There were several Ford ads where this track was used. Remember what was probably the first one from when I was very very young with a red XR2 driving through somewhere mucky. That was made in a full length 3 minute (ish) format, and I remember an early Esc Cos advert with Miki Biasion which was the same.

Just seen your comments on YouTube.

I think that's the full-length version of that particular ad.

But this is the Miki Biasion ad, which is a long one

Hey Mike C..Thanks for that..The Ad I remember (just!) was an extended version of the one I found on YouTube I'm convinced of that now..not my memory playing tricks..I knew they did longer ads .Someone must have it hidden in some archive somewhere..maybe! regards..David
