I do love the Sheila's Wheels ads - an Aussie girl group in pink sequins driving a fab pink car and singing a catchy tune? What's not to love?
"For ladies who insure their cars
Sheila's Wheels are superstars
Women make the safest drivers
You could save a bunch of fivers
For bonzer car insurance deals
Girls get onto Sheila's WheelsGirls are bored beyond indurance
Paying too much for car insurance
For bonzer car insurance deals
Girls get onto Sheila's Wheels"
Sure, it's been done by evil capitalists trying to flog car insurance, but I've never even had a driving lesson so am immune to their attempts to sell me their product. I just like the song, and the ad in the bar ("If your name was Florence, and you needed car insurance...") makes me laugh.
According to the press release, the ads were directed by the creator of the Hamlet ‘photo booth’ ads. "

Just thought I'd mention, that I've noticed on that advert that sometimes the car is going backwards down the road, then the next shot it's forwards, then back again - wonder if the makers noticed?
I'm not usually such a pedant...

The ad for Sheila's wheels is really catchy and amusing, I am just about to renew my car insurance and thought - why not!
Regards

If you watch a lot of Living TV (as I do... hey, what can I say? I like ANTM and Will & Grace and CSI), these girls will become the scourge of your soul. That song gets pretty annoying after the 85000th time! It's like Living plays that ad during every commercial break!
Add to this those little mini-commercial things that play right before the show comes back (or is it right after it goes to break? Or both? At any rate, they play a LOT... for Mueller Light, in the case of Will & Grace)... gah! Kill me!
