    Surely I'm not the only one thinking

    It should've been done much better to deserve its own Facebook group. Oh wait...

    make sure there is at least six of you

    I particularly liked the specialised argot, clearly targeted at the intended audience:

    "If your driving ... make sure there is six of you ..."

    Inspired, innit?

    A facebook group and a mention on El Reg?

    I've seen adverts of this type at least 5 times before, and some have been a lot more amusingly done with much worse cars.

    WTF?

    What?

    "seen dangling a foot outta this"

    What? Some people in the UK drive around with a foot sticking out the door?

      foot danglin' tossers

      I'm afraid he's spot on with this observation too. I use to live near a popular chav hangout and yeah, they love to park up and sit all laid back in their motors with one foot hanging out the door.

      No it makes no sense to me either but apparently it makes them look hard.

      Its very often the same ones that tuck their tracksuit bottoms into their socks init.

    But he forgot to mention they were all in tight circles using first gear and on the rev limiter.

      Has this Clio...

      ...suddenly become rear wheel drive? Having the front wheels locked over and bouncing off the rev limiter would do little than cause ever increasing circles caused by under-steer. Gentle feathering of the throttle on the other hand, causing lift-off over-steer, is much more fun!

      But...

      It is a fact well known to those who know it well that all cars become rear wheel drive when you wear a fake Burberry baseball cap in reverse.

      Actually I've noticed the chavs round here have developed a technique for faking doughnuts in FWD cars. It seems to involve lots of lock and repeated application of a flyoff handbrake.

      Tell me about it

      Geolocation has destroyed the Internet. I have more than 20 sites now blacklisted for this offence. I'll be adding eBay to that list after seeing this.

    As another Clio said

    or so it is alleged, of another bit of English prose, "For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like."

    Car Dealer

    We used to have a used car dealer round here who advertised all his stock in similarly honest terms. The classified section of the local rag was guaranteed to raise a smile.

    Oh dear

    Ooooh, aren't Chavs VULGAR!

    This 12 year old goth/emo/nob end apparently can't correctly distinguish between "Your" and "You're". Perhaps he needs to buy a baseball cap.

    Quite possibly one of the unfunniest adverts I have ever read...didn't all of these jokes get done to death in 1999?

    Back up on eBay?

    Somehow back up on eBay with commentary about dealing with eBay. Have to love the sense of humor in an otherwise dull capitalist environment.

    Press 1 to be ignored, press 2 to be transferred to another switchboard, press 3 to be transferred to another switchboard, press 4 to hear the dial tone again, press 5 to be hung upon during any time. Press 6 to hear these options again
